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.
