Description
A Journey Through Time
Step back into the golden age of the Silk Road with this comprehensive 9-day exploration of Uzbekistan. Your adventure begins in the capital, Tashkent, a unique blend of Soviet-era architecture and Islamic heritage, before transporting you to the ancient oasis of Khiva.

You will walk the same streets that merchants and scholars walked centuries ago, surrounded by the stunning silence of the desert and the grandeur of history.
Spiritual and Architectural Splendor
The journey continues to the holy city of Bukhara, once the center of Islamic learning in Central Asia. Here, you will find tranquility at the Lyabi-Hauz ensemble and marvel at the towering Kalon Minaret, which famously spared by Genghis Khan due to its beauty. The tour culminates in Samarkand, the jewel of the empire of Timur (Tamerlane).
