Heated pools, 18 slides and a beach-volleyball sand area on Samarkand's eastern edge.
Samarkand is landlocked and has no natural beach, so the nearest equivalent to a beach day is Silk Road Waterland, inside the Silk Road Samarkand complex on the Rowing Canal in the Konigil massif, Uzbekistan. The park offers heated pools, two deep pools for adults, 18 slides, sun loungers and a sand sports area for beach volleyball and badminton. Its restaurant serves pizza, shawarma, kebabs, ice cream and snacks. According to the resort page dated 24 June 2026, all-day tickets cost 100,000 UZS (about $8) up to 100 cm height, 150,000 UZS (about $12.50) for 100-150 cm and 200,000 UZS (about $17) above 150 cm. Hours are listed as 10:00-20:00 Monday to Thursday and 10:00-23:00 Friday to Sunday; other directories give different hours, so phone +998 55 705 70 23 to confirm. Hotel guests of the complex enter free, and local families get discounts. The atmosphere is that of a family leisure park, busiest on weekends. Taxi is the practical way to reach it, and visitors should pre-arrange the return in the evening. Water is chlorinated and pool-managed, unlike open-water swimming.
