Uzbekistan 360°: Khiva, Bukhara, and the Silk Road
The trip in a nutshell
Our group trip to Uzbekistan will transport us to the enchanting land of "A Thousand and One Nights," where we'll experience a journey filled with ancient stories, desert adventures, and a touch of excitement, including local train rides and an overnight stay in a traditional yurt.
From picturesque oases and bustling bazaars to charming tea houses, sacred sites, and Soviet-era palaces, this organized tour of Uzbekistan offers a timeless allure. We’ll explore a section of the legendary Silk Road—the historic trade route that connected Beijing to the Mediterranean, serving as the most vital link for goods between China and the Western world.
Our adventure begins in the ancient city of Khiva and takes us to Bukhara, eventually reaching Samarkand, the capital of Tamerlane's empire, before concluding in modern Tashkent.
Are you ready to uncover the mysteries of this fascinating corner of the world?
