Linking countries throughout Europe, Asia & Africa, the 4, 000 mile long Silk Road has been a much-travelled route for over two millennia. Tashkent, Bukhara & Samarkand bare the fruits of this lucrative trade route: shimmering tiled mosques, spacious squares & opulent madrassahs are testament to the wealth that trade brings. With a vibrant modern culture & welcoming attitude, Uzbekistan is an attractive & unusual destination offering the chance to experience exceptional history & a culture unlike any other.
