The biggest, most monumental mosque and Mausoleum af all in Ouzbékistan.
However it is not well preserved. But definately another must see place in the country.
The Bibi-Khanym Mosque (Uzbek: Bibixonim masjidi; Persian: مسجد بی بی خانم; also variously spelled as Khanum, Khanom, Hanum, Hanim) is one of the most important monuments of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. In the 15th century, it was one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in the Islamic world. It is considered a masterpiece of the Timurid Renaissance. By the mid-20th century, only a grandiose ruin of it still survived, but major parts of the mosque were restored during the Soviet period.
The 3rd and last monument in Regestan area. It is different in many ways. Inside is magical. There are sales shops inside that sales artifacts. Definately do not miss this place.
Together with the Ulugh Beg and Tilya Kori madrassas, it forms the monumental ensemble of Registan, the ancient heart of the city. The building is considered one of the main tourist attractions in Samarkand and is known for its profuse tile decoration and polychrome plant-themed paintings.
Another magical place. A masterpiece of Turkisthan's Turkic art and culture.
It is the youngest monument in the monumental ensemble of Registan, which is formed by the Ulug Begue and Sher-Dor and Tilyakori madrasas.It was built between 1646 and 1660, ten years after the construction of the Sher-Dor Madrasa. The madrasa was not only used for the education of students but was also one of the most important mosques for a long time.
Here is a short info about it. It is magical and the most well organized one.
The Ulugh Beg Madrasa (Uzbek: Ulugʻbek madrasasi) is a madrasa (Islamic school) in the historic center of Samarkand, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Uzbekistan.[1] Together with other monuments, it forms the monumental ensemble of Registan, the old heart of the city.[2] It was built between 1417 and 1421 by the then-Timurid governor of Samarkand, Ulugh Beg, Timur's grandson and prominent astronomer, who was later emperor between 1447 and 1449.
It definately a must see monument.
I won't explain these three masterpieces called:
Ulug Beg Mmadrasa
Sherdor Madrasa
Tilla Qori Medrasa
One by one. But this square is home to one of the mightiest monument's in the world.
Like in giza where famous pyramids are, you feel yourself tiny pice of the universe.
All these monument's are must visit attraction and some of the most famous ones in the world.
There are visual light shows at nights when the sun sets do not miss it.
Very nice ang green area that is good to chill at the hot summer nights.
Next to it the registan square where three masterpiece of Madrasah meet eachother.
I was expecting something better but it definately tastes little better than that chain restaurant's Big Mac Burger.
It was such a disappointment. With this price and that tastw I would definately chose some other place to eat my burger.
Plus the burger was smaller than I expected. They bring less fries than regular plate in many places. Definately not a price performance burger shop.
Prices are normal, service is fast. Burger bread is ok, atmosphere is fine, they have an English menu.
Not planning to get back here again while there are better options in the town.
I've been here multiple times. The atmosphere is wonderful – quiet, peaceful, and full of tranquility by the park. Especially on nice days, sitting on the terrace is truly delightful.
There's something interesting about the food and desserts here. This restaurant might serve the most delicious chicken you can find in Almaty, and their burgers are also quite tasty plus their desserts are fresh. They have an extensive breakfast menu. However, here’s the catch: their pizza is terrible. I really can’t understand why. They need to make a decision—if they can’t make pizza well, they should remove it from the menu. Even fast-food pizza is better than theirs.
Another thing to note: as is typical in Almaty, your order might arrive wrong or not as you requested. Also, keep in mind that they seem to have only one English-speaking waiter. But thankfully they have English menu 👍
When it comes to prices, they’re a bit more expensive compared to similar places. Another annoying detail: while the standard service charge in the country is 10%, here it’s 15%. Why?
In conclusion, despite these issues, I’d still recommend trying it at least once for its clean restrooms, pleasant indoor/outdoor ambiance, and mostly delicious food (except the pizza, of course).
Tantuni* is a famous street food originating from Mersin, a city on Turkey's Mediterranean coast.
Thinly sliced meat is chopped with a knife and sautéed on a griddle, then wrapped in lavash bread. It has an extraordinary flavor – you might become a regular after just one try.
Ayla Tantuni has brought this taste to Almaty. It's extremely delicious and almost identical to the version in Turkey. You can try it as a wrap or with yogurt, like a kebab – both versions are perfect. There’s also a chicken option for those who don’t eat red meat, which is equally tasty.
Clean establishment, reasonable prices, hygienic restaurant, and attentive staff.
This place deserves a full five stars in its category. I highly recommend trying this flavor!
Nicely located cafe with terrace and winter garden like greenhouse. You can see around you that the walls are transparent. Located next to the stream.
Very nice and peaceful place. It is amazing to get your cofee, listen the birds singing at the trees and water flowing continuously.
It is one of my Favourite cafes it this amazing walley. They have English menu which is good. Prices are reasonable, 3 cofee, one croissant we have paid almost 6000 tenge.
However there are some nin uses about this place. The management do not let you smoke even in open terrace area. Waiters do not speak or understand English.
As one cafe has an English menu but non English speaking waiters where is the logic in that I do not really get it. It is a nightmare to give any simple order.
Hope this will change soon. If so then I will give them 5 star.
