Overview
Bukhara is already over two thousand years old, making this a rich city full of sights to explore for two days. The first day is all about the ancient city center. From Lyabi-Hauz, where the curves of the surrounding madrassas and a khanaka are echoed in the gracefully bending trees, to the Kalyan Minaret, which at 47 m (155 ft), which dominates the skyline, Bukhara is full of treasures. Head out of the city on the second day, with a tour of the luxurious summer residence of Bukhara’s last emir, and final stops at the House Museum of Fayzulla Khodjaev and the mausoleum of Bahouddin Naqshbandi, founder of a famous Sufi order. For those looking for a truly historical trip, two days in Bukhara is the best tour.

Samarkand & Bukhara Highlights
Journey highlights. Seven days exploring the two greatest jewels of the Silk Road. Samarkand was the capital of Timur's empire and a centre of astronomy under his grandson Ulugbek; Bukhara kept its whole medieval core intact, a working town of trade domes, madrasahs and clay lanes rather than a set of isolated monuments.

Bukhara Heritage Discovery
Journey highlights. Step into a living museum where every corner tells a 1,000-year-old story. Bukhara is the most complete medieval city in Central Asia, and five days give you time to walk it slowly rather than tick it off.

Journey highlights. A photographer's dream — every street, mosque and minaret a perfect frame. Khiva's inner town, Ichan-Kala, is a walled medieval city that people still live in, a maze of clay alleys, carved doors and tiled minarets enclosed by ramparts you can walk along at sunrise and sunset.

Tashkent City Break
Journey highlights. Underground palaces, ancient bazaars and the modern face of Central Asia. Tashkent is the largest city in the region and reads as several cities at once — the blue domes of the Old City, the elegant brick of the Turkestan governorate, the concrete ambition of the 1970s and the glass towers going up now.
