Legends of Uzbekistan — From Tashkent to Muynak — 11 Days
PLACEHOLDER CONTENT — replace with the confirmed itinerary, hotel list and exact pricing tiers.
The longest single-country route in our catalog. After the classic Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, it goes where few tourists reach: the Zoroastrian-era fortresses of ancient Khorezm, Nukus with its legendary Savitsky Museum, and Muynak — a former port on the shore of the vanished Aral Sea.
