Traveling around Uzbekistan is an adventure filled with fascinating cultural discoveries, history and breathtaking natural beauty.

They still serve as places for religious pilgrimage, as they have for a thousand years. You will always remember tall minarets, grandiose madrassahs and mosques, palaces and mausoleums decorated with incredible ceramic ornaments, noisy and colorful oriental bazaars, interesting legends, warm hospitality and ancient traditions of local inhabitants.Duration: 14 days, 14 nights.
Season: Year round.
