Gur Emir
From a distance Gur Emir looks like a blue tulip, with tightly
folded turquoise petals. The remains of great sovereign Amir Temur
and his offspring are interred here. The richly decorated
gravestones are made of onyx and have fine carvings and dedicatory
inscriptions. Also don't miss the unusual wall-paintings, cupola,
and lower crypt where you can see the ancient graves (provided you
tip the guide.)
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Uzbek is the official state language, but Russian is used
in much day-to-day official and international
communication.
Money
The official currency is the Sum (UZS), which is divided into
100 tiyins. Foreign currencies (US dollars, Euros) can readily be
exchanged at banks, exchange offices, hotels and shops in the
cities, but many hotels and transport providers will require
payment in hard currency, like US dollars. Credit cards are
accepted in major hotels located in the tourist centres. Travellers
cheques have limited acceptance.
