Classic routes include three main cities: Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara.
They contain architectural monuments: palaces, mosques and fortresses, from which you can literally read the history of the region through the eras. But these are not all interesting locations in the country. 📍 Khiva is a real pearl of the Khorezm oasis.
The city is more than 2.5 thousand years old, it is small, cozy and incredibly atmospheric. Here it is worth visiting the citadel of the Khiva khans Kunya-Ark, the mausoleum of Pakhlavan-Makhmud with colorful paintings and wooden carvings, and the Tash-Khauli palace. 📍Gijduvan is an interesting stop on the way from Samarkand to Bukhara.
This is a city of craftsmen, famous for its suzani embroidery and ceramics. The largest ceramic workshops in the city belong to the Narzullaev family of hereditary masters, who restored the ancient technique of making glaze for products. 📍Kokand was the most important trading city on the Great Silk Road, and in the 18th century it became the capital of the prosperous Kokand Khanate.
Here it is worth visiting the palace of Khudoyar Khan (19th century), the mausoleum of Madari Khan, the architectural complex of Jami, and the tomb of Dakhma-i-Shikhon. 📍Rishtan, like Gijduvan, is famous for its crafts.
Beautiful blue ceramics have been created here for a long time, so the first place to visit is the local ceramics center. Also of interest is the multi-columned Khoja Ilgor Mosque. Group tours to Uzbekistan can be found here . Individual tours - here .
