Khiva was an important trade and cultural center on the Great Silk Road, and its ancient walls will tell you about the centuries-old history of this region.
Ancient Khorezm is a unique place where archaeological excavations and monuments of the past open a window into the history of an ancient civilization. Khorezm was an important part of the Great Khorezm state, and today its rich heritage can be seen in places such as the ruins of Kenozgal and other historical monuments.
The final point of the route is Nukus, the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan, where one of the most interesting museums in Central Asia, the I. V.
