About our Uzbekistan vacations
Uzbekistan culture
Perhaps a legacy of the country’s role on the Silk Road trade route, Uzbekistan’s people are known for their welcoming attitude towards travelers. Our vacations employ guides with connections to local communities, so invitations to tea or a meal are not at all unusual. It's a wonderful experience to be welcomed into a home, guides can advise on Uzbek culture and traditions with many households sticking to traditions like not shaking hands, and men and women seated in separate rooms. Food and drink are integral to Uzbek hospitality, whether that’s platters of plov, sharing freshly baked bread, or the ubiquitous teahouses (usually admitting men only, though).
Islamic architecture
For many travelers, admiring Uzbekistan’s spectacular Islamic architecture is the principal reason to visit the country. Standing in stark contrast to the country's Soviet-era buildings, Uzbekistan’s mosques, madrasas and minarets are dizzying in colour and detail. Our vacations employ knowledgeable local guides who explain the significance of highlights such as Itchan Kala – the walled old town of Khiva – and the vast Kalyan Minaret of Bukhara from which criminals and adulterers were thrown in past centuries. Samarkand is unmissable for its magnificent Bibi-Khanym Mosque and Registan Square, which comes flanked by towering madrasas on three sides.
The Silk Road
The Silk Road isn’t simply geography. It is history: a sprawling network of trade routes across Central Asia and into Europe that inevitably spread culture, languages, architecture and cuisine alongside goods. While the Silk Road may have fallen largely into disuse by the mid-19th century, its fascinating story can be traced through the cities and ruins along the way. In Uzbekistan, these include Samarkand and Bukhara, but on our vacations you can also stay with a local community in their traditional yurt camp – as Silk Road merchants would have – or embark on a thrilling overland tour of this most iconic of journeys.
The Stans
The vast Central Asia region is made up of the Stans. If you’re traveling to Uzbekistan, it makes sense to consider our overland vacations that visit some or even all of the others in one go, to gain a greater appreciation for the similarities and contrasts between each. Uzbekistan is all about the Silk Road cities and their Islamic architecture; Turkmenistan is desert and remote tribal communities; Tajikistan has the rugged mountains and Pamir Highway. Kyrgyzstan is rugged, romantic and wonderful to explore on horseback, and Kazakhstan is just too huge to see in one go – most routes stick to the south and the Singing Dune.
Types of tours & vacations in Uzbekistan
Our adventure vacations in Uzbekistan take many forms. You might embark on an epic overland journey through the ‘Stans, following in the footsteps of Silk Road traders by staying in yurt camps and trekking on camels, or tackle a wider Asia tour through Turkey, Iran or Western China. Opting for one of our many small group vacations allows you to explore key Silk Road landmarks in the company of local guides and like-minded travelers, with all the tricky logistics ironed out. And if you’d prefer to shape your Uzbekistan vacation around your own interests then our tailor made trips let you do precisely that.

It was all amazing . The cities got better and better with Bukhara being the best but the variety of desert forts and the wonderful night in the home stay added to everything . Our guide, Sanjar, was terrific at avoiding the crowds wherever possible .
