Uzbekistan Adventure

Join an adventure through Uzbekistan and uncover ancient Silk Road cities filled with mosques, mausoleums and markets that are a feast for the senses. On this 10-day trip, you’ll follow in the footsteps of traders and pilgrims, starting and ending in the nation’s capital – Tashkent – where you can rub shoulders with locals in the Chorsu Bazaar. Spend two days exploring UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bukhara – the best-preserved example of a medieval city in Central Asia. Walk in the shadows of ancient, blue-tiled buildings in Samarkand and watch a sunset in the ancient city of Khiva. And, have a pinch-me moment as you sleep in a yurt under thousands of stars in the Kyzylkum Desert.
