Uzbekistan Holidays

Where silk and stories once crossed continents, Uzbekistan’s cities still gleam with the blue domes and mosaics that defined the Silk Road.

Uzbekistan has been central to Steppes since the early 1990s, when we were the first UK company to offer trips here. As such, our expertise in this region is unrivalled.

Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva capture the splendour of Central Asian architecture, whilst high-speed trains, boutique hotels and welcoming guesthouses make travelling between them seamless. Despite modernisation, the traditional chapan (or coat) and long afternoon battles of chess and backgammon are still very much a common sight.

Our guides were brilliant

A very informed and patient dialogue led us to the itinerary that best suited us – tremendous value that we will heartily recommend to friends and colleagues! Our guides were brilliant – friendly, flexible and well-informed. We came back with 3,000 photos between us, and a rucksack full of local crafts!

Paul Craven

Paul is the Conde Nast Traveller chosen Specialist for Central Asia and the Silk Route.

I first travelled to Vietnam in 1988, when tourism was barely a concept, and have been visiting Central Asia since it was still behind the Iron Curtain. Such first-hand experience makes all the difference when talking to clients. I know the importance of asking questions, not taking the first answer as gospel, and matching the right destination to the right person.
