Travel story
A special trip for parents and children to experience history and culture while touring the Silk Road's three great ancient cities: Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand.
Crossing the Kyzylkum Desert and spending a night in a yurt by Lake Aydarkul becomes an extraordinary experience that will remain in the family's memories.
By day you visit magnificent mosques and caravan cities, and by night you enjoy a star-filled sky and the silence of the desert.
In Samarkand there is free time, allowing parents and children to explore the city at their own pace.
With a Japanese-speaking guide and a private vehicle, this circuit plan is suitable even for first-time visitors to Central Asia.

A special night in a desert yurt
