Witness authentic, untouched Samarkand life

Take in a magnificent, unobstructed panoramic view from upside. You will see the sparkling turquoise domes of the Shah-i-Zinda ensemble on one side, Bibi-Khanym on the other, and the bustling energy of the ancient city layout sprawled beneath you.

Shift into an easy gear for a scenic ride through the wide-open roads skirting the rolling archaeological hills of Afrasiyob (where ancient Samarkand stood before Alexander the Great). Feel the fresh breeze as you cruise along the peaceful, green banks of the Siyab River. Discover a completely different, pastoral side of Samarkand. Take in views of lush riverside greenery, watch local farmers tending to the land, and spot real Silk Road camels grazing near the valley paths—a stunning contrast to the historic city center that most walking tours never reach.
