MALThe Times included Samarkand in the 13 best best long-haul destinations to visit in 2023
The British The Times published 13 of the best most tempting and distant places to travel in 2023. The publication included our ancient city of Samarkand in the list.
“Samarkand’s golden days came during the Silk Road era, when Genghis Khan was building a mighty empire. Yet the early 21st century is proving similarly prosperous: following the arrival of high-speed trains connecting to two other ancient, bewitching Uzbek centres, Bukhara and Chiva, its green-domed mosques and jewel-jammed mausoleums have been joined by a new luxury complex. Just outside town, Silk Road Samarkand promises upmarket hotels and gastronomy." – the publication notes.
It has become much easier to get to Uzbekistan thanks to the new direct flights of Qatar Airways, which fly 2 times a week from Doha to Tashkent.
The Times offers to stay in Samarkand not in fashionable hotels, but in a traditionally Uzbek hotel in style, located five minutes from Registan Square.
And we, in turn, would like to remind that this year the 25th session of the General Assembly of the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) will be held in Samarkand. This had been announced after the vote during the 24th session of the UNWTO, which was held from November, 30 to December 3, in Madrid, Spain.
