It’s going to cost you 50 dollars to get to Samarkand from Tashkent (a 300-kilometer drive) by taxi, which is like nothing if compared with Moscow prices. On the way there you’ll come across piles of melons of all kinds which they sell along the roads, so if you happen to pass by, pull up to taste some!
The road runs through hills.
People sell home-made honey…
… and apples grown by themselves up to December.
Persimmons bearing fruits.
Grapes.
The city was founded approximately 2500 years ago.
In the inner city you’ll find stores selling clothes, accessories, souvenirs made of camel’s hair, sheep’s wool or clay, silver jewelry and semiprecious stones.
