Uzbekistan once formed the very backbone of the ancient Silk Road trading route, with its cities of grandeur a welcoming destination for weary travelers and shrewd traders who would congregate in its caravanserais. Today, these very cities welcome visitors from the world over to admire their enduring splendor and recollect their history, a past filled with powerful dynasties, magnificent cultural development and the echo of silk road caravans plodding through their streets.
On the Silk Road Caravan in Uzbekistan Tour, you will retrace the steps of these ancient merchants, crossing expansive desert and hilly terrain to reach the famed cities of Urgench, Khiva, Bukhara, Gijduvon, Samarkand and Tashkent. This extensive 10-day Uzbekistan tour includes unhurried time to tour each major city plus an overnight stay in a yurt camp, visit to off-the-beaten-path petroglyphs and tour of a fortress built by Alexander the Great. You’ll be traveling by plane, train and car, but for those truly anxious to relive the Silk Road lifestyle, even camel rides will be provided!
