My name is Firuza, and I’m proud to be from the beautiful and historic city of Samarkand. I’m 37 years old and I always had a passion for languages & history. After earning a degree from the University of Foreign Languages, I worked in the Foreign Literature section of our city’s library. When tourists visited, I enjoyed showing them around and realized my love for sharing the story of Samarkand.

I pursued this passion by completing courses in Uzbekistan’s history and architecture and became a licensed tour guide in 2015. Since then, I’ve found joy in meeting tourists worldwide, introducing them to Samarkand’s wonders, and sharing stories about its legendary ruler, Amir Temur.

As a proud mother to my son, Temur—named after the great ruler—I continue to guide with a deep love for my city. Tourism in Uzbekistan is growing, and I’m excited to welcome visitors and share Samarkand’s magic.
