Khiva

Khiva is an open-air museum city in western Uzbekistan. Behind Ichan-Kala's clay walls stand minarets, madrasahs and palaces, and sunset over the old town stays with you. People come for the atmosphere of medieval Khorezm.

Reviews help you prepare: where to stay inside the walls and whether it is worth it, which guides are good, what to fit into a day, where to eat well and how to get there from Urgench. The experience of those who have been is more honest than any guidebook.
