Uzbekistan - a rich and fascinating world of oriental fairytales in the deserts, blooming oases and mountains. The twelve-day cultural tour to Uzbekistan includes city tours in Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. From Samarkand, with its huge palaces and mosques, across the ancient Silk Road to Bukhara, where life has barely changed over the centuries, cultural highlights are in Uzbekistan. Not only do these cities have impressive medieval architecture, they are as rich in traditions and customs as they are in bringing you closer to the hospitable Uzbek culture.
