Workation in Samarkand: the essentials
Alexander the Great took the city he knew as Marakanda in 329 BC, when it was already a centre of Sogdian civilisation. Today's Samarkand, in the Zarafshan River valley, is Uzbekistan's second-largest city with about 882,000 residents, and its fame rests on the Registan, the Gur-e-Amir mausoleum of Timur and the tiled tombs of Shah-i-Zinda. West of the old quarter lie broad Russian-era avenues and a more everyday city. It was the first capital of Soviet Uzbekistan, until 1930. Tour groups crowd the main sights in spring and autumn. Samarkand International Airport is about 6 km out, and Afrosiyob high-speed trains connect with Tashkent and Bukhara.
