Uzbekistan
Pearls of Uzbekistan along the Silk Road
Round trip
Why choose this trip
The program of this unique tour following the footsteps of the legendary traveler Marco Polo will take you to the most beautiful places of the famous Silk Road, which connected Europe with China in the Middle Ages. While in many other areas, monuments from this period of flourishing medieval culture have not survived, here they remain almost untouched. Therefore, you will experience the atmosphere of the authentic world of the Orient in an unrepeatable symbiosis with the nostalgic elements brought here by the seventy-year rule of the Soviets.
