Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Samarkand. Depart for Aksay village, located 40 km (25 miles) from Samarkand. Upon arrival, choose between two roads leading to the top: 1303 steps or a horse road. Walking up the stairs takes more time, so it is better to choose the latter and get to the top on horses or donkeys.

After riding a horse for half an hour, reach the mosque and viewing platform (at the height of 1280m) where you will have an excellent panoramic view of the Samarkand valley. After seeing the mosque and enjoying wonderful views, go down (200 steps) to Hazrat Daud Cave.

Enjoy the view of the cave and walk along the tunnel until you reach the fingerprints of palms and feet of Hazrat Daud. Then, return to the mosque and go down the stairs (1300 steps) to Aksay village. Finish your tour by returning to Samarkand.
