Travel story

A Central Asia trip touring picture-perfect cities like the blue city of Samarkand and the ancient city of Bukhara.
At colorful bazaars you can enjoy shopping while admiring handicrafts and souvenirs.
Stay overnight in a desert yurt for an extraordinary experience different from city walks.
You can also cross the border into Tajikistan to reach the mystical Seven Lakes and its spectacular views.
This indulgent itinerary—combining architecture, nature, shopping, and adventure—is perfect for mother-daughter trips or girls' getaways.

Signature points

Soak in a world of blue: Samarkand & Bukhara

Thoroughly explore Samarkand, where vivid blue architecture decorates sites like Registan Square and Shah-i-Zinda.
In Bukhara, visit historic mosques, madrasas, and lively bazaars.
The beautiful streetscapes and colorful goods are full of photo-worthy scenes.
You’ll encounter many landscapes you’ll want to see and preserve together on a mother-daughter or girls’ trip.

More than a hotel: a special night in a desert yurt

Rather than only touring the ancient cities, head via Nurata and Lake Haidar to the desert area.
On this night you’ll leave the hotel and stay in a traditional Central Asian yurt.
Time spent in the grand natural surroundings, contrasting with the city’s ornate architecture, is a highlight of the trip.
It’s not just sightseeing—enjoy a touch of adventurous spirit.

Cross the border to the mystical Seven Lakes

For a slightly deeper experience, cross the border on a day trip from Samarkand into Tajikistan.
From Panjakent head into the mountain area to visit the "Seven Lakes," a chain of beautiful lakes.
You’ll find majestic mountain scenery completely different from Uzbek Islamic architecture.
Being able to enjoy two countries at once makes the changing landscapes especially memorable.
