Uzbekistan Essentials

Uzbekistan’s Silk Road heritage is preserved within the historic centers of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva.

It includes scientific landmarks like Ulugh Beg’s 15th-century observatory, the intricately carved wooden columns of Khiva’s Juma Mosque, and the turquoise-tiled necropolis of Shakhi Zinda, representing centuries of artistic and scholarly achievement.
