Arrive in Tashkent
Upon arrival at Tashkent Airport at 11:50am meet your Uzbek guide Mirzabek in the arrival area. Have lunch in the city center followed by a city tour covering the sights you have not already seen (on October 30), namely the Earthquake Memorial, Independence Square, Amir Temur Square and the Applied Arts Museum.
We will visit the walled inner-city section of Khiva called Ichan-Kala. This old section of town preserves more than fifty historic monuments and hundreds of old houses dating back hundreds of years. The entire citadel is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you walk through the enormous city gates you are confronted by the glistening Islamic beacon, the Kalta-minor Minaret. Delve deep into the town on a guided tour that embraces all of the city sites, and includes an ascent of the Islam Khodja Minaret, the highest minaret in Khiva. Enjoy broad views of old Khiva atop the Kunya-Ark Citadel.
