Khiva - the heiress of the great era

What to expect

Ancient symbols of Khiva
I will guide you through the streets of Khiva, past colorful markets and the walls of the ancient fortress of Itchan Kala. You will explore the main historical monuments of Khorezm from the outside and inside:

• Juma Mosque - you will visit one of the most amazing mosques in Uzbekistan. Its roof is supported by two hundred wooden columns with elegant ornamental carving (the patterns on the columns do not repeat). And from the minaret of Juma Mosque, you will have a magical view of the entire historical center of Khiva.
• We will visit the mausoleum of Pahlavan Mahmud, whose turquoise dome rises above the fortress of Itchan Kala. You will hear the story of the poet and hero who became a hero of Khiva and was elevated to the rank of saints.
• Tash-Hauli - you will admire the beautiful palace of Khiva with walls, columns, and ceiling covered with patterns. Get ready to appreciate the magnificent carvings in wood and marble, and intricate copper grilles worthy of a Khan of Khiva.

Immersion in Khorezm culture
Without burdening you with countless dates and names, I will tell about the brightest events from the history of Khiva and introduce you to the traditions of Khorezm - a region of Uzbekistan with an almost 3,000-year-old history. You will learn about the cult of Zoroastrianism and local decorative and applied arts. You will find out whether Khiva was really founded by one of Noah's sons and why Khorezm is considered the homeland of algebra. And then you can taste dishes of Khorezm cuisine: pilaf, tukhum-barak, shivit osh (Khorezm lagman), kebabs, or ijjan.
