Uzbekistan is rightly called the land of smiles — and this tour shows why. Hospitality begins at the airport and does not end until departure.

Three cities in four days — rich, but unhurried. Samarkand will amaze with its monumentality; Bukhara — with cozy medieval streets and the aroma of fresh samsa.

An excellent option for a first visit: short, bright, warm.
