Taj Mahal of Samarkand – The shrine of great Timur

🕌One of the most unique masterpieces of medieval architecture of Samarkand is the majestic Guri Emir complex. Guri-Emir (interpreted as “the tomb of the emir“, “the grave of the Overlord“) is the tomb of the Timurids, the burial place of Amir Timur, his two sons - Shahrukh and Miranshah, his grandsons, Muhammad-Sultan and the great astronomer Ulugbek, as well as Timur’s spiritual mentor from Medina Mir Sayyid Baraka. ⠀ 🕌The Guri Emir Mausoleum continues to ✨amaze with its majestic appearance and is one of the symbols of the city of Samarkand. To the present days, residents and guests of Samarkand, visiting mausoleum, read 🙌prayers there, because indeed, this is a very holy place. #guremir #Tamerlan #AmirTimur #Temurlang #Empire #TamerlanEmpire #History #CentralAsia #Silkroad #Samarkand #Bukhara #mausoleum #Shrine #Tours #traveling #Voyage #trip #Turan #Turkestan #holyplace #pilgrimage #tomb #Shakhrisabz Thank you very much f
