Khiva Tours
Private Khiva Tours and Exclusive Weekend Trips
Khiva tours is a visit to the ancient fairy-tale town that has been ideally preserved and practically not changed in the course of the centuries. You will feel the atmosphere of old Khiva, the unique place with outstanding number of sights per square meter as soon as you are surrounded by mighty fortress walls of Ichan-Qala – the historical inner city listed by the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Khiva tours will introduce you to the city full of eastern charm, where time seems to have stopped. When you are in Khiva, it is hard to believe that somewhere there are hectic megapolises with skyscrapers. Here, in little Khiva, all looks as it was many years ago: minarets, narrow crooked pebbled streets, walls of medrese adorned with colorful mosaic and ornaments, turquoise domes merging with the clear sky, people still live in the houses of their ancestors, swallows build nests on the fortress walls.
Khiva’s somewhat inconvenient location means many skip it altogether, but we’d consider it an essential part of Uzbekistan’s Silk Road story wrapped up in an enchanting, pocket-sized city. If you’re pushed for time, the most impressive sights can be ticked off in a day. On this one-day tour, it’s easy to imagine the ways that merchants must have walked through the same streets as you yourself take this walking sightseeing tour of Khiva.
