Uzbekistan Vacation Packages

Uzbekistan formed a crossroads along the Silk Road that brought together people from across Asia. A number of ancient monuments remain intact in the medieval city of Bukhara, which is believed to be over 2000 years old. Samarkand, with its 14th-century Bibi-Khanym mosque complex and spectacular mausoleums, has a mystical charm, while the capital city, Tashkent, has modern architecture, vast monuments, and sparse Soviet-era buildings. Khiva is home to the fortress town Ichan-Kala and sites that speak of its importance as a trading post on the Silk Road.

The country's diverse landscape of deserts, forests, waterfalls, and mountains attracts outdoor adventurers. The Tian Shan mountain range draws climbers and hikers from all over the world. Its ski resorts are packed in the winter, and the same trails are used for walking and horse riding in summer. The Aral Sea's dried-out bed and rusted ships make it a unique attraction even as efforts are on to restore its sea ecosystem.
