Uzbekistan · January
January in Samarkand offers a crisp, uncrowded immersion into Silk Road grandeur. The winter air sharpens the intricate tilework of the Registan, making the turquoise domes and minarets gleam with an almost ethereal beauty, and you'll find fewer tour groups to contend with at Bibi-Khanym Mosque and Shah-i-Zinda necropolis.
January is one of the tougher months to visit Samarkand. -2-8°C, often cloudy with occasional snow — Many tourist facilities may have reduced hours or be closed.
