Tour Details
The open-air museum of Khorezm
Khiva’s inner city, Itchan Kala, is a complete Silk Road town inside clay walls — minarets, palaces, madrasahs and workshops, all within walking distance. Around it, the desert of ancient Khorezm hides dozens of ruined fortresses, some over 2,000 years old.
This tour combines two days in Khiva with a journey to the ‘Golden Ring’ of Khorezm fortresses and the famous Savitsky Museum of avant-garde art in Nukus.
