2 Day

Tashkent - Samarkand

In the morning, after breakfast, we’re embarking on a modern high-speed train ride and heading to Samarkand (2h). Upon arrival, we're diving into Samarkand’s heritage straight away:

With over 2500 years of rich history, Samarkand is known as the “precious pearl” and “face of the earth” in the East, sharing its legacy with cities like Athens, Rome, and Babylon. Here are the places we’ll visit today:

1 Majestic Gur-Emir mausoleum and tombs of Timurid dynasty (the mausoleum's shape resembles a closed turquoise tulip)
2 Registan Square - the heart of Samarkand. It originated long before the Mongol invasion (13th century), as a gathering point of urban craftsmen and merchants. The word Registan means “a place on the sand”. Lunch in a national restaurant.
3 Siyab bazaar (traditional open air market)
4 Bibi-Khanym Palace (15th century)
5 Ulugbek Observatory - famous astronomer and grandson of Tamerlane
6 The Shahi – Zinda architectural complex

Check-in to a hotel after the excursion (Minor; Continental; or similar). Personal free time in the evening.

3 Day

Samarkand - Bukhara

In the morning, after breakfast, we’re continuing our voyage by the already-known high-speed train to Bukhara (2 hours). Next, it’s time for an introduction to Bukhara:

1 Visiting Kalyan minaret (also known as the Tower of Death) - one of the most iconic landmarks in Bukhara.
2 Chor Minor (meaning "Four Minarets" in Farsi language) is an architecturally unique and historic monument. This structure stands out for its distinctive design and is one of Bukhara's most renowned and photographed sites.
3 Lyabi Hauz area - a quintessential example of Central Asian urban planning and architecture, centered around a tranquil pond (hauz) that dates back to the 17th century. Lunch.
4 Ark citadel is a massive fortress which has stood as a symbol of power and a focal point of the city's development for centuries. Its origins date back to the 5th century AD, though the structure has been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times throughout its history.
5 Continuing our lovely city tour and visiting the trading domes of Bukhara. Here, we will have an opportunity to purchase various souvenirs and authentic presents.

Check-in to a hotel (Devonbegi; Safia; or similar). Personal free time in the evening.

4 Day

Bukhara - Khiva

Today, we’re having a pretty long drive from Bukhara to Khiva (440km), since that’s one of the only ways to get there. But we can surely do it! And it'll be worth it!

Check-in to a hotel upon arrival in Khiva (Zarafshan; Arslan Boutique; or similar). Free time for rest and walking in the evening.

Tomorrow, we’re exploring Khiva in details.
