About this experience
Khiva is the only city in Uzbekistan that has survived to this day practically untouched. It is called an open-air museum. You will be transported here from Tashkent in just 1 hour. The guide will show the medieval shahristan - the inner city - and tell about its main attractions.
What to expect
From the Khiva airport to the Ichan-Kala fortress you will drive by car, and you will move around the fortress on foot.
You will see the main attractions of Khiva:
Ichan-Kala Fortress - the inner city, surrounded by powerful walls, which includes over 60 historical buildings: mosques, madrasas, palaces, and baths.
Juma Mosque. You will visit the main mosque of Ichan-Kala, one of the oldest in Uzbekistan, with a beautiful inner courtyard and ayvan.
