Located just 20 minutes from the Samarkand Silk Road project, Samarkand International Airport will be the gateway to this iconic tourism project, estimated to cost more than $353 million.
Silk Road Samarkand is a modern multiplex which is set to open in 2022 in eastern Samarkand. The complex covers 260 hectares and includes world-class business and medical hotels, eateries, recreational facilities, park grounds, an ethnographic corner and a large congress hall for hosting international events.
For centuries, Samarkand was among the most renowned cities on the Great Silk Road, attracting merchants, travelers and adventurers from near and far. The Silk Road Samarkand project was developed by a team of designers, engineers and architects who desired to create a 21st-century landmark which would be functional and modern while retaining a connection with the city’s glorious past. The team is on target to achieve their goal, as the complex is designed to attract everyone from corporate and medical travelers to tourists interested in Turkic and Islamic culture.
This project is instrumental to the economic development of Uzbekistan. It is estimated that 90% of the visitor to Silk Road, will travel through Samarkand Airport. This Is why Air Marakanda have sought the services of MAI to ensure visitors to Silk Road experience the best of Samarkand while travelling through the airport.
