Silk Road Samarkand

In 2022, the "Silk Road Samarkand" was introduced as a cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary tourist complex in the eastern part of Samarkand. Spanning a vast 280 hectares, this expansive area boasts world-class accommodations, expansive public areas, boutique hotels integrated with diverse health centers, a variety of dining and relaxation options, and a substantial congress hall fit for global gatherings.

The vision for "Silk Road Samarkand" was brought to life by a collaborative effort of designers, engineers, and architects. Their ambition was clear: to fashion a contemporary attraction in Samarkand that not only stood out in scale and modernity, but also resonated with the city's illustrious history. Historically, Samarkand stood as a pivotal stop along the famed Great Silk Road, drawing merchants, explorers, and wanderers. Presently, this tourist complex seeks to captivate business professionals, travelers, and aficionados of Eastern culture.

A defining feature of the "Silk Road Samarkand" complex is its impressive 2 km long rowing channel, which bisects the area into northern and southern sections. This expansive water feature enhances the spatial aesthetics and offers a cooling effect, a much-needed reprieve in Uzbekistan's warm climate. Interestingly, this man-made channel has been the practice grounds for Uzbek athletes for years. It retains this role within the tourist center, allowing guests to enjoy the sight of boats and kayaks gliding by. For a closer view, tourists can hop onto one of the nine boats available for canal tours.

The northern section of the complex houses an international congress hall along with four hotels: the five-star Samarkand Regency Amir Temur and Silk Road by Minyoun, and the four-star Savitsky Plaza and Stars of Ulugbek. These establishments come complete with eateries, bars, fitness centers, pools, and of course, conference spaces. For larger occasions, the Congress Hall stands ready to host up to 3500 attendees, complete with a banquet hall for 750 and several adaptable conference rooms.

Conversely, the southern portion is designated for relaxation and therapeutic treatments. Here, visitors will find four specialized hotels focusing on areas such as preventive care, detoxification, pulmonology, and treatments for the spine and joints. Integrated health centers within these hotels offer a plethora of treatments, ranging from massages and therapeutic showers to saunas, baro-chambers, mud therapies, and more. Guests can opt for treatments spanning anywhere from a week to two.

Further enriching the southern zone is an eco-village featuring quaint cottages for a more private experience and the "Eternal City", a historical and ethnographic project teeming with craft workshops, narrow alleyways, storefronts, and other facets reflective of an Eastern city.

Thanks to its opulent hotels, comprehensive tourist facilities, and scenic landscapes, the "Silk Road Samarkand" is swiftly emerging as a focal point of modern tourism in Samarkand. Furthermore, accessibility is a breeze. It's a mere 15-minute drive from the international airport, 20 minutes from downtown, and 25 minutes from the train station. Plus, regular shuttle services ensure that reaching this tourist hub is hassle-free for all visitors.
