Uzbekistan Best Tourist Palace to Visit

Uzbekistan is one of the fascinating countries in Central Asia and famous for its Silk Road cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. Twice the size of the UK, it has a rich cultural heritage and a long history steeped in tradition. You won’t be surprised to learn that it is home to four significant UNESCO World Heritage sites and six UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage listings.

1 SAMARKAND

“Samarkand – Crossroad of Cultures” is the official moniker used to describe this city as a UNESCO World Heritage site.  Samarkand conjures up images of ancient times and sounds almost mythical.  However, this is no fairytale: Samarkand today is a lively city that cherishes its traditions.  Archaeological excavations have revealed a history which dates back 3500 years; the town of Afrosiab was founded in the 7th century BC.  The area was continuously inhabited and served as a melting pot of diverse cultures.  It was conquered by Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan, was the sumptuous capital of the Timurid Empire and played an important role in the development of Islamic architecture and arts.  You won’t want to miss Registan square, the Bibi Khanum and Gur Emir Mausoleums, the Shah-i-Zinda complex, Afrosiab  & the Ulughbek Observatory.

#2 BUKHARA

The historic center of Bukhara has been an important base for Islamic theology and science for several centuries.  Its well-preserved city center was recognized by UNESCO as an exemplary medieval city.  City-planning, urban, economic, and scientific development in Bukhara had a large impact on the Islamic World in the Middle Ages.  The earliest architectural monument is the tomb of Ismail Somoni dating back to the 10^th century. For seven centuries up until the 16^th century, it was the largest Islamic center for the study of Sufism with hundreds of mosques and madrasas or learning places.  World-renowned scholar Avicenna was born near Bukhara and grew up there.  While in Bukhara we’d recommend taking a stroll around the old city to savor its architectural legacy and imagine yourself bargaining as they would have done in medieval times.

#3 KHIVA

Khiva is the first UNESCO World Heritage site in Uzbekistan was inscribed in 1990 noting its importance in the exceptional heritage of ancient Silk Road traditions.  Itchan Kala, which literally translates as the inner part of the old city, is surrounded by thick mud walls.  It contains 51 monuments and is although around 250 households still make their home inside, it feels more like an open-air museum.  Looking down from Islam Khoja minaret or the city walls, it’s hard to imagine this is the 21^st century.  It is here in Khiva that the scholar AI-Khoresmi, the father of algebra, was born and introduced algorithms to the world.  Take a guided tour to get to know the stories that feature in the history of this fascinating city.

#4 SHAHRISABZ

This flourishing city of the Timurid Empire is the birthplace of the great medieval conqueror Amir Temur.  It has exceptional monuments from 14^th to 15^th centuries though its history dates back over 2000 years.  Its historic center retains the layout from the original Timurid city planning.  Amir Temur ordered the Ak Sarai – the white summer palace – to be built as well as his own grave. Tamerlane’s summer palace was one of the highlights of the Timurid architecture.  These days you can still see the remains of the palace’s 65 meter high monumental gates.

#5 TASHKENT

Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan and with a population of 3 million people, it is the largest city in Central Asia.  This large metropolis reflects the historical development of the country from its architectural monuments of oriental design to its Soviet planned street layout and its modern glass high buildings.  The area of modern Tashkent was already settled in the 5^th to 3^rd centuries BC.  Its name literally translates as “stone city”.  It has been destroyed several times in history; the most recent damage came from the earthquake in 1966 when many of its ancient historical monuments were destroyed. Thus Tashkent today is a modern city with a wide variety of restaurants and shopping opportunities.
