The Silk Road of Uzbekistan

Travel the fabled Silk Road as we explore the highlights of Uzbekistan. Traverse the remote landscape of Central Asia, from the curious capital, Tashkent, via the desert to the ancient walled city of Khiva and beyond. Along the way, marvel at awe-inspiring Islamic architecture and learn about the region's history, which crosses cultures and spans millennia. Khiva - Step back in time as you walk the streets of this ancient city, which has become a kind of open-air museum. Samarkand - Discover Timur's city, where Registan Square lies as its stunning blue mosaicked centrepiece. Desert camp - Get a taste of nomadic life, sleeping in a traditional felt yurt at a desert camp. Navruz Festival departure - Book a spot on our 15 March 2025 departure to join in with the Uzbek people during the Persian New Year Festival.
