Najbolje vreme za posetu
Spring or autumn gives the most pleasant temperature for walking around the area. Morning or late afternoon gives the best light for photographing the sextant's marble arc.
Saveti za budžet
The entrance fee is low, about 20,000 som (just under 20 SEK). Samarkand's combination ticket for several sights does not include the observatory, so pay separately.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Ovde je astronom Ulug Beg merio položaje zvezda sekstantom čiji je radijus iznosio čak 40 metara. Njegov zvezdani katalog iz 15. veka bio je toliko precizan da su ga zapadni astronomi koristili nekoliko stotina godina kasnije.
Istaknuto: Džinovski sekstant nije iznad zemlje, već je duboko ukopan u zemljanu pukotinu, tako da samo luk od mermera viri. Na njegovom luku dugom 40 metara Ulug Beg je merio položaje Sunca i planeta sa preciznošću koju su Evropljani dostigli tek dva veka kasnije.
Insajderski saveti
- First go down into the excavation tunnel and look up along the marble arc to really grasp the size.
- The museum next door shows Ulugh Beg's original manuscripts and astronomical instruments, do not miss it.
- Visit on a weekday in the middle of the day to avoid the tourist groups that usually arrive between 10 and 11.
- Combine with a walk to Ulugh Beg's observatory hill for a view over all of Samarkand.
