Bibi-Khanym Mosque Reviews

One the most impressive place in Samarkand after the Registan Square and Shah-I-Zinda. This mosque is really huge and is the largest mosque in Samarkand. The architecture is really exquisite and mind blowing.

This was built by Timur to celebrate his victory over the Ottomans and for a long time was the largest mosque in central Asia. With Samarkand's loss of status in the sixteenth century the mosque steadily declined due to looting, weather and earthquakes. It was almost entirely rebuilt by the Soviets in the 1970's, using a mix of reclaimed and new materials.
The mosque was so large it was difficult to photograph in its entirerity but it was pleasant to walk around and look at the rooms that hadn't been restored yet as well as the finished work. It's an easy walk on a pedestrian street to the Registan from here.

One of the important aspects of the Taimir Dunasty and Samarkhand. Absolutely enjoyed the serenity of the place. I only wish there was more . Restoration is in the works one section. Its getting better everyday

Good piece of the architecture showing great Muslim style of architecture
It gives you a feel of time travel especially when you are there alone

Breathtakingly beautiful. Right next door to Siyob Bazaar. Another architectural revelation in Samarkand.

Absolutely stunning Mosque. Well worth the visit, beautiful details. You can find an old book inside, which is huge. Trees around. Its one of the must see monuments in Samarqand. Don't skip it, its well worth it.

Stunning mosque which dates back to the early 1400s. It has all been carefully restored. The intricate artwork is amazing. Entrance - 30,000 Som/€2.40.

Marvelous buildings.
But very crowded, beautiful tiled works.
Will be nice to come back

17th century art and architectural stunning beauty is still standing high. Huge domes, large gates and tall minars all are hand crafted design top to bottom. This is an amazing place, the moment you are in there you will feel you are back to the past. Not only Bibi-Khanym Mosque there are few more 16th or 17th century architectures next to each other in this area. Spent a day or half a day here and feel like you are travelling in the past, like fairy tale movies. Its absolutely amazing.
Overall travelling Uzbekistan is not costly at all. English proficiency of the locals are very low. This is 100% safe for the tourists. Specially I was so surprise to see how respectful the local men here, they dont look at females in a bad way at all. Its very safe for a single female tourist to travel here. Food in uzbek is super cheap. Taxi is cheap too but it can be long wait during busy hours. Do not jump in other rental cars, they may charge 2 or 3 times more than taxi. Better use Yandex, a taxi app.
Very islamic respectful culture, its better not to wear body exposing or very short dresses.

Amazing building. Beautiful details.
The huge Quran is in the centre of the yard.
Artist are working and selling their work inside. Don’t forget to bargain! 😉

People come to Uzbekistan just for these historical buildings. You totally feel the history. Uzbekistan has indeed been the cultural center of the past. It is one of the must-visit places in Samarkand. If you love history, don't forget to go here. And definitely don't die before visiting this place.

Great little place to visit, our favourite place in the city after Registon. A lot quieter and less repaired which is very nice, we stopped to relax here for an hour and have a look around at the beautiful mosaics. It’s certainly worth coming to. 30,000 som for foreigners so not much to get in.

Stunning mosque and a wonderful relaxing place to reflect on everything

Grandiose structure that is still being restored after massive earthquake. Definetely worth a visit.
Entrance fee for locals 5000, for foreigners 30000 som (around 3 USD)
I advise to take a guide inside (50000 som), it makes the visit much more interesting.

It seems that this mosque should be appreciated both from the outside and inside. A large Koran can be found on a stone pedestal in the center of the inner courtyard of the mosque.

Impressive monument and fascinating history. Such an amazing architectural masterpiece
2021-03-25 07:03:23 GMT
A beautiful monument, especially when you know the history behind it. Located within walking distance from registan square, its also near the market, so it has a very easy access. I dont remember how much exactly i paid for entry but it wasnt really expensive and it was valid for some time, so i did return to see the mosque before it closed. While you're inside, theres actually not much to do other than enjoying the mesmerizing beauty of a piece of history. It wasnt too crowded as well so i really enjoyed it.

Massive and huge historical architecture! Loved art work and preservation.

Babi Khanym mosque is named under the name of Amir Timur’s wife. The mosque is really beautiful from inside and outside. It has been renovated many times. So, what you see now is not the old version of the mosque.
