Khiva Private Tour

We'll meet at your hotel in Khiva to start our private tour of the ancient capital of Chorasmia.

We'll first walk to the Itchan Kala quarter, surrounded by stone walls up to 12 meters high. Here we'll admire examples of Central Asian architecture with mosques, mausoleums and madrasas while learning about the history of this Uzbek city.

Next, we'll visit the Mohammed Amin Khan Madrasa and its minaret, the largest in Khiva and Central Asia, and explore the 19th-century Mohammed Rahimkhan Madrasa.

The tour continues through Itchan Kala to see the Kunya Arch and the 18th-century Juma Mosque, the most important mosque in Khiva. Following this, we'll stop at the Tash-Khovli Palace, decorated in blue and white majolica.

Afterward, we'll pass by the Khan's Harem, noted for its honey-colored adobe brick façade and carved wooden latticework. The blue minarets and domes create a poetic contrast.

Our last stop will be the Ollaqulikhan Caravanserai, an ancient refuge for merchants and travelers on the Silk Road. Its two floors open around a large courtyard, evoking the comings and goings of caravans.

The walking tour will last between 5 and 6 hours in total.
