Uzbekistan

A cradle of civilisation for more than two millennia, Uzbekistan boasts an evocative architectural and artistic heritage, deeply interwoven with the fascinating history of the Silk Road. In terms of cultural attractions, Uzbekistan is by far the richest and most extraordinary country in Central Asia. Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva win over and astonish visitors with their fabulous mosques, madrasas and mausoleums, all set against the magnificent backdrop of the wonderfully warm-hearted Uzbek people.
