Photograph the Gur-i Amir's turquoise dome, intricate glazed-tile portal and mirrored interior chamber — a masterpiece of Timurid architecture. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light on the facade; interior details need low light handling. Central location in Samarkand, paid entry and modest steps; expect crowds midday. Wear respectful clothing; parking and taxis available nearby.
