Hazrati Imam Mosque
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Uzbekistan

Hazrati Imam Mosque

6.2
4.8/5
15 reviews

Hazrati Imam Mosque is one of the centers of Islamic life in the capital of Uzbekistan. Its design is based on the classical Central Asian style of the Timurid period: two towers about 50m high flank the structure, the large blue dome is adorned with gold leaf inside, and the rows of carved sandalwood columns in the courtyard feature woodcarving styles from Kokand, Samarkand, and Bukhara respectively. Looking closely at them is like taking a tour of traditional woodworking craftsmanship from across Uzbekistan. The entire complex is named after the first Grand Imam of Tashkent, the 10th-century scholar Kaffal Shashi. It remains a place of worship used daily. For travelers interested in architecture and Silk Road culture, visiting this site along with the surrounding complex is the starting point for understanding the Islamic context of Tashkent.

The layers of hanging crystal pendants reflect the geometric patterns, marble cladding, and gold-leaf paintings on the dome, making the entire space look magnificent. The main exhibits are concentrated on the second floor, ranging from medieval weapons, armor, maps, and gold and silver coins to jewelry, miniatures, and precious manuscripts. You can also see letters exchanged between Timur and his descendants and European monarchs, as well as scale models of Timurid dynasty architecture.

The museum is located on the north side of Timur Square, and the architecture is very distinctive. It is recommended to do your homework before coming, so that you will have a better experience of the exhibition. We did not hire a guide, and we only knew a little about history, so we could only take a quick look.

Amir Temur Square is the absolute heart of Tashkent and the perfect spot to start exploring the city.It is basically a huge, green roundabout with a massive bronze statue of Tamerlane on his horse right in the middle. The vibe here is super laid-back, clean, and safe. It gets especially lively in the evenings when the summer heat starts and both locals and tourists come out to stroll.

Chorzu Bazaar is a must visit whenever in Taskent. Here you can experience the vibrant atmosphere of sellers doing their best to offload their produce. Spices, teas, butchers, bakers, fruit and vegtable stands, you name it. Visit time is best in morning when crowds are big and you get the best feel.

The Tashkent Museum of Applied Arts was built in 1927. It displays more than 7,000 tapestries, utensils, jewelry, pottery and clothing from the early 19th century to the present day. It is an interesting destination for in-depth understanding of the handicraft culture of the Uzbek people. Standing in the courtyard and looking around, the blue-green columns and the collage patterns on the exterior walls are fresh and beautiful.
