Bibi-Khanym Mosque
Nejlepší čas k návštěvě
Visit late afternoon when the low sun sets the turquoise tiles and golden-hued bricks ablaze with color. Weekday mornings are also excellent for avoiding crowds.
Tipy pro rozpočet
Entry costs roughly 30,000 Uzbek som (about $2.50). A combined ticket covering nearby sites like Shah-i-Zinda and Registan Square saves you around 20 percent.

O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Its entrance portal reaches 35 meters high, one of the largest in Central Asia. Local legend claims the architect fell hopelessly in love with Timur's wife, and the building was nearly never finished as a result.
Zajímavosti: Look closely at the colossal entrance arch spanning 18 meters across, it was once the largest of any mosque in the Islamic world. Restoration workers in the 1970s discovered that ancient builders used a special mortar of egg yolks and camel milk to bind the bricks, giving the walls an unusual golden hue at sunrise.
Insider tipy
- Arrive by 8 AM to have the massive courtyard almost entirely to yourself before tour groups roll in around 10 AM.
- The best photo spot is the northwest corner, where you can frame the main entrance portal against clear blue sky.
- Skip the souvenir stalls outside the entrance, identical items sell inside Registan Square for half the price.
- Bring a scarf even if you are not religious, guards occasionally ask women to cover their heads before entering the prayer hall.
