This 8-day circuit is the perfect itinerary for a first discovery of Uzbekistan. In just one week, you will visit the three legendary Silk Road cities — Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand — each inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, each with a unique personality of its own. From the labyrinthine alleyways of Khiva, an open-air museum city on the banks of the Amu Darya, to the majesty of Bukhara the Noble with its 360 mosques, and on to the dazzling Registan Square in Samarkand, this journey is an immersion into a thousand years of Eastern civilisation. Between the cities, the crossing of the Kyzylkum Desert adds a touch of adventure and complete change of scenery.
