Local Students Show Me Around Shah-i-Zinda 🇺🇿 | Samarkand, Uzbekistan

[@silvie1502]

Shah-i-Zinda looks like in a fairy tale, grandiose, sumptuous and I know that I used "superb" in all the videos from Samarkand, but they really are special places. I also liked Shahrukh, intelligent, educated and very pleasant. I noticed that, in general, people there are warm and kind. An excellent video!

It's absolutely amazing, I give you that! 🥰 It was one of the best evenings I've had in Uzbekistan! Thank you for your lovely feedback :)

Wow, what kind and charismatic students! I especially liked the young man who accompanied you to the end, you really had a good chemistry together and I liked that he was actively involved in the video! You're right, Samarkand certainly is a wonderful city! I also have a curiosity, do you know why blue predominates in all the old buildings? ✨️🕌

[@WhereDoWeTravelNow]

From what I've read on the internet, in Islamic tradition blue often signifies the depths of the universe & turquoise is thought to have mystical qualities. But maybe there's someone else in the comments section who knows more. Waiting for replies 😁

I knew you would have something from Shah-i-Zinda! You said it - one of the best places to visit in Samarkand, definitely my highlight of my visit in December. The beautiful blue tiles on the outside and the ceilings in each of the rooms inside! I think we only see two or three but you got to see the main one - at about 9:30 - it is just breathtaking inside. Loving your videos. You're making me want to go and visit again!

This means so much to me, mate! So happy you're enjoying these. Khiva comes next. Have you been there too?

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

What a bonus running into those students. How nice that he went aroind with you and show you such a beautiful place.

[@WhereDoWeTravelNow]

Exactly! One of the highlights of my trip! 😁

Very nice! Where did you get the background music? I was also in Uzbekistan and I am trying to edit some kind of an organized video at some point. Need some music too. Good work!

[@WhereDoWeTravelNow]

I take the music from different places, but on this occasion I think all the music (3 pieces) was taken from the audio library inside KZbin Studio. It's all for free, but it could be a challenge to find something you can actually use. Just listen to A LOT of the songs there and download a few that you think you could be using in the future. There are also some free songs available in the editing software, depending on which one you use. Also, there are websites like zapsplat that offer many good tunes and effects for free, but you need to write in the description of the video that you got some music/sound effects from them. Let me know when the video is out. I will definitely watch it. Also, where in Uzbekistan have you travelled? How did you like it? Cheers, mate!

So many beautiful intricate details on the buildings. I'm wondering how long it took to construct all that and how many workers?

[@WhereDoWeTravelNow]

Good question. That would be interesting to know. Really beautiful thought. Had the best time there!
