Newmarket Holidays Launches New Silk Road Tour Of Uzbekistan

Believe it or not the Silk Road Tour Of Uzbekistan is one of those places that is on my personal bucket list of places to visit. Since Newmarket Holidays has launched a new 11-day escorted tour of Uzbekistan. Travellers get to follow the Silk Road which introduces guests to a region known as the Jewel of Central Asia. Which showcases the country’s colourful history and modern-day metropolises. Which may me say why not discover the region.

Uzbekistan – Ancient Cities of the Silk Road starts in the capital, Tashkent, discovering the city’s Islamic heritage and enjoying the sights and sounds of Chorsu Bazaar, before heading to the new town where modern attractions and monuments showcase the city’s artistic flair.

Guests then travel to Khiva, home to the UNESCO-listed town of Itchan Kala, where sights include an ancient citadel, incredible madrasas and minarets, and the Duma Mosque suspended by a web of carved wooden pillars. The journey continues through the red desert of Kyzyl-Kum and on to Bukhara for a series of stunning monuments and a masterclass in making ‘plov’, a traditional Uzbek rice dish. 

Further along the famous traders’ route, the tour explores the domed marketplace of Compel Bazaar, the iconic Silk Road city of Samarkand, and Ak-Saray Palace, the birthplace of the legendary leader of the Timurid empire, Amir Timur.
