The Silk Route
I want to go
Uzbekistan
Central and Eastern Asia
Uzbekistan is the heart and soul of the Silk Route. The ancient towns and its four World Heritage Sites cities - Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand and Shakhrisabz - are incredible labyrinths of exotic architecture and spectacular decorative art. Beyond you will find the rural valley of Fergana and the remote villages of Karakalpakstan.

You will follow the trail of the great caravans that followed the ancient Silk Route, where the camels, loaded with precious merchandise, bright silks and aromatic spices, stopped to rest in the oasis cities of Uzbekistan.
Nowadays, a trip along the Silk Road will reveal mosques with blue mosaic vaults, tall minarets built of bricks interlaced with clay, fabulous designs, abundant piles of brightly coloured hand-woven rugs, women with cheerful dresses behind the counters full of exotic products of the bazaars and, above all, a warm and sincere welcome.
Delve into this cozy and timeless inexhaustible source of culture and history: the Silk Road.
