Central Asia's cradle of culture for more than two millennia, Uzbekistan is the proud home to a mesmerising collection of architecture and ancient cities, all deeply infused with the fascinating history of the Silk Road.
Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva, all Silk Road cities, hold some of the world's most exquisite Islamic architecture, with fabulous mosques, medressas and mausoleums, as well as half-hidden desert citadels and hectic bazaars.
Uzbekistan has a rugged and rocky landscape with deserts, mountains and valleys interspersed with pockets of fertile, green land. The combination of spectacular countryside and classic Islamic architecture make this nation a visual delight. Uzbekistan is also an extremely friendly country, where you will feel genuinely welcome by the people you meet.
