Shakhrisabs “The melancholy of the former splendour and the magnificence of the great silk route”

Gem far away from the touristic streams in Shakhrisabs at the foot of the Serawshan Mountains, people dream of splendour of the former thousand years when you could still feel the bustle of the great silk route that went straight through Shakhrisabs. The caravan hostels and bazaars in the streets of Shakhrisabs stem from the wandering caravans and haggling merchants of former times. If you walk through the sleepy town, you can still feel the splendor and magnificence.

You should not forget to admire the thousand-year-old tree in the courtyard of the Friday Mosque. Also, the Tschorsu Basaar and the Ak Sarai palace invite you to stay. The huge ruins of Timur’s palace Ak Sarai, his place of birth and ancestral seat, clearly demonstrate his secular demand for power. His spiritual goals are represented in the still honored in the grave complex and in Dar – us – Saadat with its important sacral architecture.
