Details
Uzbekistan is a country on whose territory the largest city-states and influential khanates, known throughout the continent, were built and developed. During their formation, the rulers of the ancients always tried to perpetuate their own names and leave for the hereditary cultural states a careful attitude towards buildings and monuments.Much architecture has survived to this day. And now it has become available for visiting and viewing during the “In the Land of a Thousand and One Nights” tour.
During the tour there will be a trip and sightseeing to Tashkent, Samarkand, Gijduvan, Bukhara, Khiva and enjoy the view in the Chimgan mountains.
In Tashkent, a viewing of Khast-i-Imam Square is being organized, where the 7th century Koran and the Hazrat Imam Ensemble are kept. And also a visit to modern architecture - Independence Square, Amir Timur Square, Theater Square, as well as the metro with its unique architecture.
In the city of Samarkand, you can closely examine the majestic madrassas on Registan Square, which have become a UNESCO heritage, visit the tomb of the great commander Amir Timur, see the Ulugbek Observatory and other historical architecture.
Bukhara is the next pearl city on the program. This city has a unique but recognizable beauty thanks to such attractions as the Kalyan mosque and minaret, the Lyabi-Khauz ensemble and the Ulugbek Madrasah. In addition, there are many other interesting historical monuments in Bukhara.
Khiva - this city, like no other, is capable of conveying the entire atmosphere of the medieval East, since a whole city of ancient minarets, mosques, mausoleums and fortresses is concentrated in it.
During the “In the Land of a Thousand and One Nights” tour, there is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture of the East and get a wonderful experience.
