#NewSilkRoad

#Samarkand was a major #SilkRoad trading hub for more than 2,500 years. Now, the #Uzbek city has a major new tourism complex.

Wonder if Samarkand aspires to rival or dethrone #Mecca as a #religious travel destination as well:

"Shah-i-Zinda is Samarkand's holiest site," … the giant #necropolis dedicated to Qasim Ibn Abbas, cousin of the Prophet #Muhammad, who was responsible for bringing #Islam to this part of the world in the 7th Century.
