Discover Samarkand through three living traditions: bake authentic Samarkand bread, explore Silk Road carpet craftsmanship, and see traditional mulberry paper made at Koni Ghil.
Experience the authentic side of Samarkand through three unique traditions that have been passed down through generations.

Begin your cultural journey with a hands-on Samarkand bread-baking experience. Learn how local bread is prepared, shaped, and baked in a traditional clay oven.

Next, explore the fascinating world of Silk Road carpet craftsmanship. Discover how traditional carpets are designed and produced by skilled artisans, learn about their patterns and cultural meanings, and see the patience and skill behind this beautiful craft.

Your final stop is Koni Ghil, home to Samarkand’s famous traditional paper-making workshop. Here, you will discover how craftsmen produce handmade paper from mulberry tree bark using traditional techniques that have been preserved for centuries. See the different stages of production and learn about the important role Samarkand once played in the development and spread of paper along the Silk Road.

This experience is more than a sightseeing tour—it is an opportunity to meet local artisans, participate in traditional activities, and experience the living culture of Samarkand through its bread, crafts, and ancient paper-making heritage.
