About
Daler is a historian guide for whom the Registan is not a backdrop but a living book. For fifteen years he has led guests through Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, and he can tell the story of the Timurids and the Great Silk Road so vividly that the architecture stops being a set of dates and becomes the fates of real people.
He is equally precise with orientalist scholars and with a family visiting Central Asia for the first time: he tunes the depth of the story to the audience rather than reciting a memorised script. Daler knows the best hour of light on the Sher-Dor madrasah and where to hide from the midday heat over a pot of tea.
Beyond guiding, he advises on our cultural itineraries and fact-checks the history in Sayohat's materials.
