From the Registan Square begins one of the most ancient streets of Samarkand - Tashkent . In ancient times it was one of the most important caravan routes linking Samarkand to the Tashkent oasis, the Ferghana Valley, China. This street has always been a centre of trade since the time of Amir Temur. No wonder the very beginning, the walls of the Sher-Dor have been a shopping mall Chorsu, built in the XVIII century. Bibi Khanum and Siab market are located on the Tashkent street. The city officials closed the traffic and the pedestrian street.
