What you will see
Samarkand is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 15:31:57 local time, the Moon hides 5.4% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 14:58:56 and ends at 16:03:51, 1 h 5 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 47° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Samarkand.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,207 km south-west of Samarkand.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Al ‘Aqīq, about 3,219 km south-west, where totality lasts 2 m 22 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
