About this tour
Traverse the crossroads of civilizations on an 8-day tour through Uzbekistan’s legendary Silk Road oases. Designed to combine historic depth with modern comfort, this trip covers the country’s most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage sites, majestic madrasahs, and lively bazaars.
You will begin in Tashkent, Uzbekistan’s capital, before taking an internal flight west to Khiva, an intact walled citadel that feels frozen in time. Journey across the dramatic landscapes of the Kyzylkum Desert to reach Bukhara, a holy city renowned for its ancient trading domes and Islamic scholarship. Finish your adventure in Samarkand—the crown jewel of Tamerlane’s empire—before returning to Tashkent via the high-speed Afrosiyob train.

- Discover four UNESCO World Heritage Silk Road cities: Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand.
- Explore the open-air living museum of Ichan-Kala in Khiva with its intact medieval city walls.
- Marvel at Samarkand's grand Registan Square, Gur-Emir Mausoleum, and Shah-i-Zinda necropolis.
