Samarkand Presbyterian Church

Another antique-style hammam at the entrance to the Iranian quarter of Samarkand, called Panjab. The building of the active Korean Presbyterian Church, which is located very close to this hammam, will also be of interest to tourists.

Samarkand's largest active Shia mosque. Shia religious ceremonies, including Ashura, are regularly held here. Next to the mosque is an inactive madrasa of the same name, turned into a landmark, where souvenirs are sold, people gather for socializing, a center for learning Persian, and a friendship society between Uzbekistan and Iran.

If you understand Russian, there is an Anton Chekhov Russian Drama Theatre in the Soviet part (West) of Samarkand, where performances are entirely in Russian. Many of the actors and actresses are ethnic Slavs (mostly Russians), so sometimes it feels like you are in some provincial theater in the backwoods of Russia. This theater also occasionally hosts performances and concerts by invited troupes and singers from other Russian-speaking theaters in Uzbekistan, as well as Russian-speaking troupes and singers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, and, of course, Russia. The architecture of the theater building is also of interest to tourists.

The main concert hall of Samarkand is located near the Dinamo Stadium, where not only singers from Uzbekistan, but also from neighboring countries (such as Tajikistan) and other countries of the former USSR (such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Georgia), and also, for example, from Turkey perform concerts.

An old-fashioned stone hammam near (2 km) Samarkand's Railway Station. It is popular among locals and is cheap, and the cleanliness is acceptable.

Samarkand's Shia-Sunni Shrine. The mausoleum houses the tomb of the renowned theologian and saint, Khodja Said Musa ibn Said Murtaza, better known as Murad Avliya.
