An 18-slide heated water park inside the Silk Road Samarkand complex.
Silk Road Waterland is the water park of the Silk Road Samarkand tourist complex, on the Rowing Canal in the Konigil massif on the eastern outskirts of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. It has 18 water slides ranging from gentle rides for small children to thrill slides, heated pools including two deep pools for adults, a sand sports area with beach volleyball and badminton, sun loungers and a restaurant serving pizza, shawarma, kebabs and snacks. According to the resort's own page dated 24 June 2026, all-day admission is 100,000 UZS (about $8) for guests up to 100 cm tall, 150,000 UZS (about $12.50) for 100-150 cm and 200,000 UZS (about $17) for those over 150 cm. Opening hours are listed as 10:00-20:00 Monday to Thursday and 10:00-23:00 Friday to Sunday, although other directories show different hours, so a call to +998 55 705 70 23 is the safe check. Guests of the complex's eight hotels enter free, children under six are free, and local families receive discounts. The activity is easy and needs no fitness level beyond basic swimming ability; small children need adult supervision. Bring swimwear, sun cream, a towel and flip-flops. The park is the most practical hot-weather activity in Samarkand, where July and August afternoons regularly pass 35 C.
