Jewels of Uzbekistan
13 days from US $2,210 pp twin share
Welcome to Uzbekistan! With its medieval cities, stunning architecture and colourful history, this is a Central Asian gem just waiting to be discovered. We uncover all facets on our journey - from modern, cosmopolitan Tashkent to 2000 year-old fortress cities lost in the sands of time. Stand awestruck - as Genghis Khan once did - in front of Bukhara's Kalyan Minaret, gaze upon Samarkand's mighty Registan Ensemble, and camp at desert oases as Silk Road travellers have done for centuries.
