Most disappointing place. I expected to see some original observatory equipment. Hardy anything in the Museum of substance. The only original part of the observatory is the underground shaft. The rest has been destroyed. Ticket is too expensive at 70,000 uzs.

Fantastic place. First observatory in the world gives a historical snapshot of the Ulugbek’s time & culture, communicates his fascination with science and commitment to it.

Ulugh Beg was a famous astronomer and statesman who lived in the Middle Ages. During the Golden Age of Islamic civilization, he made a name for himself in history with his groundbreaking astronomical studies in the Turkestan region. His books and records laid the foundation for astronomy and space science in the West, and his works were used as reference books for centuries. Unfortunately, he was overthrown by his own son, ambushed, and martyred—thus becoming immortalized in history. This is the place where his tomb and the remains of the observatory he established are located. I am sure you have never been to such a historical site before. Entrance fee: 50,000 sum per person.
