Khiva is an ancient desert oasis, as if taken from the pages of Eastern legends. This city was an important caravan stop on the Silk Road and the capital of the Khiva Khanate. Today, Khiva is one of the best-preserved historical cities in Central Asia and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The heart of the city is the Ichan-Kala fortress, surrounded by powerful walls made of mud and brick. Inside are a lot of mosques, madrasas and palaces, decorated with turquoise ceramics and wood carvings. Kalta Minor, Tash-Khovli Palace and Juma Mosque - each building has preserved the spirit of past times and the grandeur of the East. A walk through Ichan-Kala is a journey into the past, where every turn of the street reveals a new fragment of history.

Khiva captivates with its originality and tranquility. Time seems to slow down here, allowing you to feel the atmosphere of the ancient East - unhurried, fragrant, filled with sun and ancient wisdom. This city is a living legend, uniting the past and the present.

Saytdagi Buxoro va Samarqand haqidagi maqolalar juda foydali bo'ldi. O'zimizga mos yangi joylarni kashf qildik. Ayniqsa, milliy taomlar va hunarmandchilik ustaxonalari haqidagi tavsiyalar uchun rahmat. GoUzbekistan portali orqali sayohatimiz ancha tartibli va mazmunli o'tdi. Chet ellik mehmonlarimizga ham aynan shu saytni tavsiya qildik!

Приехали в Узбекистан в начале апреля и влюбились в Бухару! Читали статью на GoUzbekistan про весенние поездки и решили остановиться в старом городе отель Денди плаза. Совет про вечерний Ляби-Хауз оказался бесценным — атмосфера там просто магическая. Очень помогла информация про поезд Афросиаб, билеты брали заранее, как и советовали на сайте. Узбекистан, мы вернемся!

Our April trip to Bukhara was the highlight of our Silk Road tour. We found the local tips on GoUzbekistan very helpful, especially about the weather and what to wear. The recommendation to visit the Ark Fortress at sunset was spot on – the photos are incredible! The website made it so easy to understand the local culture and find the best hidden gems. Highly recommend using this guide for anyone visiting Uzbekistan in 2026!
