The Amir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, accompanied by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, got acquainted with the majestic architectural monuments of the ancient and beautiful city of Samarkand.

The heads of state visited the observatory and museum of Mirzo Ulugbek. The great astronomer and ruler Muhammad Taragay Mirzo Ulugbek made a considerable contribution to the development of science and culture. He built an observatory unique to the Middle Ages, in which he studied celestial bodies accurately. For many years, his “New Astronomical Tables of Kuragoni” served as the leading guide to astronomical science.
The world-famous Registan ensemble is another hallmark of Uzbekistan, reflecting the creative potential of our ancestors. The majestic madrasahs of Mirzo Ulugbek, Sherdor and Tillaqori can impress everyone with their scale and unique architecture.
During the visit, the distinguished guest was told about the history of construction and the features of the ornaments of this building, and the restoration work carried out on the square. The Amir of Qatar got acquainted with the madrasah with sincere delight.
The heads of state visited the Eternal City Complex at the International Tourist Center of Samarkand.
