Route in brief:

Samarkand – Urgut – Samarkand

Embark on a unique day tour from Samarkand that immerses you in the rich cultural tapestry of Uzbekistan. This journey begins with a scenic drive to the charming town of Urgut, known for its historical and artisanal significance.

Your first stop in Urgut is the picturesque Chor-Chinor Garden, renowned for its ancient sycamore trees, some of which are nearly a thousand years old. As you wander through this serene garden, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore a nearby mosque and enjoy the refreshing spring water that has been a local source of life for centuries. Following your visit to the garden, head to the vibrant Urgut Bazaar. This traditional marketplace offers a delightful array of antiques and crafts, providing a glimpse into local life and culture. Although the bazaar is open daily, visiting on a Wednesday or Sunday is ideal to experience it at its fullest.

Next, you will meet Numon Ablakulov, a skilled ceramist who represents the eighth generation of his family’s pottery tradition. You’ll have the chance to see his exquisite ceramic creations and learn about the intricate process behind their production. Enjoy a local lunch before heading back to Samarkand.

In the afternoon, visit the Samarkand Silk Carpet Factory, where the artistry of silk carpet weaving is on full display. Observe the meticulous process of creating these beautiful carpets, from spinning the silk to the final intricate designs. The factory’s shop offers a range of silk products, perfect for a memorable souvenir.

This engaging tour, lasting approximately 6-7 hours, provides a deep dive into the traditional crafts and rich cultural heritage of the region, making it a must-do for those interested in Uzbekistan’s artistic legacy.
