A largely unknown country in many ways, Uzbekistan is actually brimming with natural, architectural, and cultural riches. It's a unique crossroads: of civilizations, with the historical presence of great empires; of religions, as it sits at the crossroads of the West and the East; of cultures, with the still-visible imprint of the mythical Silk Road. As you travel through it, you'll experience the immensity of the region long under Soviet influence, and live in the era of nomadic peoples and yurts. However, the capital Tashkent or mythical cities like Samarkand and Khiva will surprise you with their authenticity, despite a recent opening to the world.
