Gur-e-Amir, Samarqand-Uzbekistan. “The Gur-e Amir (also Gur Emir) is the mausoleum of the Asian conqueror Tamerlane (also known as Timur) in Samarkand (now in Uzbekistan). It occupies an important place in the history of Islamic Architecture as the precursor and model for the great Mughal tombs of Humayun in Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra, built by Timur’s descendants, the ruling dynasty of North India.

Gur-e Amir (Gur Emir) is Tajik for “Tomb of the King”. This architectural complex with its azure dome contains the tombs of Tamerlane, his sons Shah Rukh and Miran Shah and grandson Ulugh Beg and Muhammad Sultan. Also honoured with places in the tomb are Timur’s teacher Mir Said Baraka.”
