Uzbekistan
9 Nights / 10 Days
Trip Overview
Central Asia has been hailed as a prime tourist destination for 2020 and Uzbekistan, bursting with old-world charm and historical wonders, is the crowning jewel of this underrated region. Somewhere between the grand palaces of Khiva, the regal turquoise-domed tombs of Samarkand and the imposing fortresses and madrassahs sprinkled throughout Bukhara’s exotic dusty streets, Uzbekistan is sure to reward each curious and open-minded traveler who visits this endearing land.
The 10-day Uzbekistan Tour allows you to experience the very best of Uzbekistan at a laid-back pace that will not leave you feeling tired, rushed or overwhelmed. This tour doesn’t compromise on content, taking you through the cities of Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, Gijduvan and Samarkand and introducing you to the greatest sites in each region.

The temple is not only a place of worship but also a popular tourist destination due to its breathtaking views and the iconic photos taken at the temple gates.
