Shahrisabz (Uzbek Cyrillic and Tajik: Шаҳрисабз; Persian: شهر سبز, romanized: shahr-e sabz: "city of green" / "verdant city"; Russian: Шахрисабз) is a district-level city in Qashqadaryo Region in southern Uzbekistan.[2] The Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) has selected Shakhrisabz as its tourism capital for 2024.[3]
It is located approximately 80 km south of Samarkand, at an altitude of 622 m. Its population is 140,500 (2021).[1] Historically known as Kesh or Kish, Shahrisabz was once a major city of Central Asia and was an important urban center of Sogdiana, a province of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. It is primarily known today as the birthplace of 14th-century Turco-Mongol conqueror Timur.[4]
