Khiva
Khiva is one of the most remarkable historical cities of Uzbekistan and a unique open-air museum located in the heart of the Khorezm region. The ancient walled city of Ichan-Kala, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves an extraordinary collection of mosques, madrasas, minarets, palaces, and traditional houses.
Walking through the narrow streets of Ichan-Kala is like stepping back in time. Highlights include the iconic Kalta Minor Minaret, Kunya-Ark Fortress, Islam Khoja Minaret, Juma Mosque, Tash-Hauli Palace, and the Mausoleum of Pahlavan Mahmud.
Beyond its architectural heritage, Khiva offers visitors an authentic atmosphere of the ancient Silk Road. Traditional cuisine, handicrafts, local music, and evening walks along the illuminated city walls make Khiva an unforgettable destination in Uzbekistan.
