About the trip
This National Geographic Signature tour unspools over ten nights through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, regions where ancient empires left stone and tile legacies. Starting in Tashkent, the route makes time for the Chorsu Bazaar and the city's blend of Soviet and Islamic architecture before moving on to Samarkand. There, after hours at Tamerlane’s mausoleum offers a quieter moment among its blue-tiled domes.
