Its name is Gur-e Amir. The great commander and the legendary lion of history, Amir Timur, rests here.
Contrary to popular belief, his tomb is not the large one but the smaller, black one.
Around him, his sons and close relatives are also buried.
The interior and exterior of the mausoleum are like a separate paradise. It’s truly a miraculous place. This is a must-see masterpiece.
I highly recommend it.
Nice, clean, easy to navigate train station. Working stuff are helpful. Easy to get in and get out.
Afrasiyab fast trains are comfortable and fast and cheap. I fully recommend it. It is safe.
The only worst thing is that the smell at the train (Afrasiyab) toilets. It is disqusting. Hope they will find a way to figure it out.

Nice place in a shopping mall.
The sitting area at the center is a nice spot for chilling at nice weather.
There are so many stuff to eat on their menu.
Tea was ok, but the meat somsa we had was little raw that we did not like the taste. Prices are ok for a shopping mall like this.
I have eaten somsa in many places, I believe this is not the one you are looking for.
There are bunch of other restaurants here, you don't really meet to choose this one for sure.
Very crowded, dense and maze like Bazaar open everyday. Such a mess. If you like mystical crowded bazaar this is the spot.
However watch your stuff because there could be some interesting people around.
Most of the stuff, clothes etc are low quality cheap things.
However in the food court you can find alot of spices. But I believe buying meet from open air wouldn't be so hygienic.
If you are interested come and see but I believe I have seen better markets.
Very nice historic building. Entrance is 20.000 sum if you are tourist and 5000 sum if you are local. It is one of the most historic place in Tashkent.
If you wanna understand the history of the town it is a nice place. Still standing after hundreds of years. There are also handcraft shops upstairs.
The yard of the Madrasah is so cool. It is one of the must see attraction in Tashkent.
Such a huge Mausoleum and Mosque concept with a huge yard. I have been here on March. But the facility is newly restorated.
The restoration made it look like a newly build complex. Unfortunately it doesn't make you feel that you are in a historical place.
Plus there are newly planted trees and I believe it will be very hot in summer. I recommend to get there afternoon or just before sunset.
It is free of charge. In my opinion you can skip this place not a must see attraction.
What I Liked:
I found Hotel Malika by searching on the map. However, when I arrived, I realized it’s in an incredibly central location. On its category it definately deserves 5* from me.
The farthest historical monument from the hotel is the Bukhara Fortress, and you can even walk there through the side streets in just 7 minutes. Such a fantastic location at such reasonable prices is a rare opportunity.
On the other hand, no matter how good a hotel is, the attitude of the staff and management is extremely important. At this hotel, we were greeted with the warm hospitality I’m used to in my own country. From the receptionists to the cleaning staff, from the restaurant team to other employees, everyone is incredibly helpful, understanding, and easy to communicate with. Rest assured, they will support you in every way possible. They all speak quite good English and some other languages such as Turkish, Russian etc.
Right next to the hotel, you’ll find beautiful cafes, historical sites, squares, authentic shops, museums, and transportation options—all within easy reach.
The hotel is brand new but built in harmony with the local, historical architecture. High ceilings, comfortable beds, window screens, top-brand bathroom amenities, luxurious and stylish touches, spacious and beautifully designed bright rooms await you.
A lovely area has been designed in the hotel courtyard where you can smoke or sit at a low table. The breakfast also had a very rich variety.
I will definitely return to this hotel and highly recommend it to everyone.

What I Didn’t Like:
Overall, everything was perfect, but if I must write something, I can only mention these minor points...
It would have been great if the hotel’s restaurant, which is still under construction, had been completed. It would also be nice if the windows in the rooms could open upward. The sidewalks around the hotel are being renovated, so some areas might be a bit dusty, but I assume this isn’t the hotel’s fault and will be resolved soon.
What I liked:
Stuff are amazingly friendly, helpful and talkative.
It is easy to communicate with them.
Beds were comfortable.
Room was clean.
Toilet was cleaned and stuffed with towels and toiletries.
There was a complimentary water at the room.
Roof top restaurant has a nice old town and monument's wiev.
Breakfast was really satisfying.
Room Price is ok
Hotel's location is really good. 2 minutes walk to Amir Timur's Mausoleum and few minutes walk away from many attractions.
For few days stay it is a good place to choose.

What I didn't like:
Internet is really bad.
Plus the GSM network do not work well at the first floor.
The room is a bit darker.
There was a construction on the wall during our stay. That caused some noise.
I did not like that there is an extra city tax apart from the gotel price. 4$for each for night.
The jams at the breakfast were not OK.
No soap but liquid soap at the room.
No bidet at the toilet.
