The Silk Road's Greatest Cities
Uzbekistan is the jewel of the ancient Silk Road — a country of breathtaking Islamic architecture, turquoise-tiled domes, and cities that were once the greatest centers of learning and trade in the medieval world. Samarkand's Registan, Bukhara's ancient bazaars, and Khiva's perfectly preserved walled city transport visitors to a world of caliphs and caravans. For Indian travelers, Uzbekistan holds a special resonance — the Mughal emperors who built the Taj Mahal traced their roots to this land, and the cultural connections between India and Central Asia are deep and fascinating.
