The morning call to prayer echoes across a city that has traded silk, spice, and ideas for two thousand years. This is the Silk Road — and you move through it without retracing a single step. Uzbekistan Airways flies you direct to Tashkent in three and a half hours. From there, Alp Travel Co. routes you west to Khiva, then east through Bukhara and Samarkand, and back to Tashkent. Domestic flights and the high-speed Afrosiyob train handle every transfer. Breakfasts are included throughout. Private guides go deep, not wide. Room upgrades are applied where available. You cover four cities. You never rush.
