Luxury Holidays to Uzbekistan

The most visited country in Central Asia, Uzbekistan is a land of sandstone cities, home to vibrant bazaars and preserved architecture, contrasted with remote mountain villages and endless steppe. Uzbekistan’s major cities are at the core of the ancient Silk Road. On luxury holidays to Uzbekistan, visit Samarkand, an UNESCO-listed desert oasis of historic mausoleums and glittering turquoise domes and facades. Bukhara is Central Asia’s most ancient city and is dotted with structures of a bygone era while Khiva’s Old Town is scattered with various palaces, mosques, and fortresses while Tashkent, the capital, is famed for its many museums and its mix of modern and Soviet-era architecture. Leave the cities for the Gissar Mountains, learning about rural village life.

POCKET GUIDE TO UZBEKISTAN

Tashkent

Defined by traditional sandstone buildings, striking Islamic architecture, Soviet-era landmarks and contemporary museums, cultural-rich Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan and Central Asia’s largest city. Top attractions include the History Museum of the People of Uzbekistan, Chorsu Bazaar, the Minor Mosque and the Moyie Mubarak Library Museum, home to the world’s oldest Quran. Tashkent also offers a wide variety of cuisine including Uyghur, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and European, ensuring you’ll be spoilt for choice on your luxury holiday.

Samarkand

Samarkand, located in south-eastern Uzbekistan and one of the oldest, continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, for its importance as a key centre on the Silk Road route between China, India, and the West. A modern city, with a large town of vast avenues and parks, cultural sites such as Registan Square, Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum, Bibi-Khanym Mosque, Siab Bazaar and Shah-i-Zinda Complex should be high on your must-see list.
