, you will familiarize yourself with the history and culture of Uzbekistan, ancient monuments of Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Tashkent; will pass through the Kyzylkum desert. You will see medieval palaces and mausoleums with carved ceramic ornaments, minarets, rushing into the sky; you will immerse in the bustle and color of oriental bazaars, will hear thrilling legends, feel the warm cordiality of the natives and, of course, try amazingly delicious local cuisine.
Grandiose Samarkand is Asia, although much more sharpened by tourists. Here oriental flavor coexists with European habits of travelers; infrastructure is friendlier; and numerous souvenir shops among glazed bricks and majolica coexists with typical houses and the smell of spices from town makhallya.
In the streets you can see walking women in velvet gowns, embroidered with gold thread and colorful bearded grandfathers and donkeys carry in carts famous Samarkand bread.
The grand city Samarkand, almost completely destroyed by the troops of Alexander the Great was a little rebuilt away from its original location.
In 1220 the army of Genghis Khan entered here and after his demise in 1227 the town became the seat of his second son - Chagatai. With Timur’s rise to power, the city became the capital of his colossal empire, and it enters into the epoch of imaginary cultural and economic welfare.
Bukhara - "Holy City", "Star of the Islamic world" is not inferior to Samarkand on historical heritage, because the city is more than two and a half thousand years.
Many events came about within and beyond the walls of the city. There were ruinous wars and periods of ups when Bukhara became the capital of the great state of the Samanids. Such great men as Avicenna, the poet Omar Khayyam, the mathematician Abu Rayhon Beruni and many others lived and worked here.
Since ancient times one can see many beautiful palaces and tombs, madrassahs and mosques, strength walls, narrow streets and entire neighborhoods, standing for hundreds of years on the same foundations.
The history of Bukhara is part and parcel of the history of the legendary kingdom of Khorezm, the original capital of which was nearby Urgench. And then, after the Amu Darya changed its course, Khiva became the capital.
And although the majority of the extant monuments belong to the XVIII-XIX centuries, the walk through ancient Khiva is a plunge into the real Eastern tale.
The territory with ancient Khorezm castles is often called the "Central Asian Egypt." Old Persian and Greek sources of the I millennium BC. handed down the names of the major historical and cultural areas of Central Asia.
A casual viewer or a traveler immediately has a lot of questions: how ancient constructors in the absence of any construction machinery could build these magnificent buildings? Thanks to what many buildings survived to the present day? Among the dunes of the desert Kyzylkum, on the tops of the rocks in the desert spurs of Sultanuizdag everywhere there are traces of human activity.
We can long describe the magnificence of Khiva, but to understand what for this unique city catches tourists from around the world, it must be seen with your own eyes.
