October 21st
- November 8th 2022
The Silk Road stretched from the Middle
East to China and along which lie the famous cities of Samarkand and
Bukhara. This was the trade artery through which
the great civilisations of the East and West exchanged not only produce,
but also cultural ideas influencing architecture, textiles, metalwork,
ceramics, painting and calligraphy. Peoples, rulers and cultures have
swept across the region's steppes, deserts and mountains for thousands of
years.
‘From the blue-tiled splendour of
Tamerlane’s Samarkand to the holy city of Bukhara, boasting a mosque for
each day of the year’ and across Khorezm, the
desert and to Khiva. ‘Uzbekistan
lays claim to a breath-taking architectural legacy. Bound by
sand and snow, fed by the melt-water from the Roof of the World, these
fertile oases attracted the greatest travellers and conquerors in
history, along the fragile threads of the Silk Road.’
Visiting Tashkent, Margilan, Rishtan, Kokand, Penjikent,
Samarkand, Gidjuvan, Bukhara, Khiva &
Nukus.
