Uzbekistan

The Gilded Heart of the Silk Road
Uzbekistan is a turquoise-tiled masterpiece of Timurid history. Arrive via private jet in Tashkent and board the Afrosiyob high-speed train to the legendary cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. Stay in boutique hotels that were once Silk Road caravanserais or luxury villas in the capital. Embark on a desert safari into the Kyzylkum Desert, staying in high-end yurts under the stars. From private viewings of the world's oldest Quran to gourmet Silk Road feasts, Uzbekistan is a prestigious journey through the soul of Asia.
