The story

Shakhrisabz Heritage Festival in Shahrisabz

Shahrisabz, birthplace of 14th-century conqueror Timur and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the original 2008 host city of Uzbekistan's roaming Asrlar Sadosi folk festival and was named the Economic Cooperation Organization's tourism capital for 2024, making it a natural setting for heritage-themed events, though a specifically named 'Shakhrisabz Heritage Festival' was not independently confirmed as its own distinct fixture.

Shahrisabz occupies a special place in Uzbekistan's historical imagination as the birthplace of Timur, known in the West as Tamerlane, the 14th-century conqueror who built the Timurid Empire and whose capital, Samarkand, became one of history's great cities.
