Totally incompetent staff, rude security staff. Trying to push their guide services for crazy amount of money.

The portal of the Gur-Emir mausoleum is one of the most impressive elements of this architectural complex. Its grandeur and sophistication immediately attract attention and leave no one indifferent. The portal is decorated with numerous ornaments and calligraphic inscriptions made in the traditional Islamic style, which symbolizes the high skill of the architects of that era. 🌟 In the center of the portal there is an arch that leads to the mausoleum itself, and is decorated with exquisite geometric patterns and images of plants. The colors and textures used for the decoration enhance the feeling of nobility and sanctity of this place. Deep blue and turquoise colors combined with gold details create an atmosphere of solemnity and grandeur. 🎨 The portal of the Gur-Emir mausoleum is not only the entrance to the tomb itself, but also a symbol of the transition from the earthly to the spiritual. He embodies the grandeur of the Timurid era and its cultural heritage. 🌍 For those who want to learn more about this amazing monument, we offer guided tours with experienced guides.

The first building that greets you when visiting the Gur-Emir mausoleum. Nicely. Next to the mausoleum there were madrasahs and khanaka (not preserved). Burials of famous personalities were also held there, but not Temurids, now their numerous tombstones stand near the portal on the remains of these structures.
