The Silk Road of Uzbekistan

A 10-night escorted tour through Uzbekistan's Silk Road cities, from the Soviet-inflected capital Tashkent to the mud-walled fortress of Khiva, mountain villages, and the architectural grandeur of Samarkand, with Explore Worldwide's small-group style.

About the trip

Starting in Tashkent, this tour threads through the varied faces of Uzbekistan, from the leafy Soviet-era city centre to an afternoon on the ornate Tashkent Metro. A short internal flight takes you to Khiva, an ancient Silk Road fortress restored in the 1970s and filled with tiled madrassahs and minarets.

Next comes a long drive across the Kizilkum Desert to Bukhara, where broad pools sit beneath tea houses and blue-domed mosques preside over market squares. Time is left for a solo stroll or a take on the city's four domed bazaars. The tour then heads into the mountains, staying with a local family in a guesthouse and hearing how flatbread is baked in a traditional oven. A gentle countryside hike offers views over the Nuratau range before the final stop in Samarkand, where 14th-century monuments loom large around Registan Square.

Explore Worldwide’s small-group tour balances structured visits with moments to walk quiet streets or pause on rooftop terraces. The rhythm is steady, with many miles covered but time to appreciate the details: a ceramic workshop in Gijduvan, the precise calculation of the year at Ulug-Beg’s observatory, and the simple pleasure of bread shared in a village courtyard.
