Get ready to explore Uzbekistan, carrying the legacy of the Silk Road for thousands of years, with a visa-free and comfortable program. In our program "Uzbekistan Tour (Visa-Free) 5 Nights 6 Days," you will embark on an unforgettable journey accompanied by fairy-tale medressas, blue domes, magnificent squares, vibrant markets, and authentic flavors.

Tashkent
Samarkand
Bukhara
Khiva (Hiva)
Shahrisabz

Our tour generally starts with a late evening or early morning flight arriving in Tashkent. In the capital, where modern influences and traces of the Soviet era coexist, we step into the culture of the country by exploring wide boulevards, well-kept parks, impressive metro stations, and the colorful Chorsu Bazaar. Afterward, our journey to the legendary cities of the Silk Road begins with high-speed trains or comfortable buses.

Registan Square
Guri Amir Mausoleum
Bibi Khanym Mosque
Shah-i-Zinda Tombs Complex
Ulugh Beg Observatory

The capital of the Timur Empire, Samarkand, is like a fascinating open-air museum dominated by blue and turquoise hues. The tiles of the medressas, the elegance of the domes, and the tombs woven with legends will transport you back to the Middle Ages. In the evenings, light shows and the mystical atmosphere of the square make Samarkand one of the highlights of our tour.

Lab-i Hovuz Square
Kalan Minaret
Kalan Mosque
Mir-i Arab Medressa
Ark Fortress (Bukhara)

Bukhara invites you to an authentic Silk Road city with its narrow streets, adobe houses, and historic caravanserais. As you wander among medressas, you can listen to the tales of ancient caravans and feel time slow down while sipping your tea in the shade of the courtyards. We take a shopping break in the bazaars, where you can find traditional silk, spices, and handicrafts.

Kal'a-i Ichan (Inner City of Khiva)
Muhammad Amin Khan Medressa
Islam Khoja Minaret
Friday Mosque (Khiva)
Nurullabay Palace

Khiva is almost like a scene from a fairy tale; in this city, entirely surrounded by walls, every corner awaits a perfect photo opportunity. The city silhouette bathed in crimson tones at sunset, under the shadows of the minarets, becomes one of the most striking views of our tour. Throughout the program, you will have the chance to try indispensable local delicacies such as "plov," "manti," and "shashlik," and enjoy folkloric shows and music during dinner, feeling the rhythm of Central Asian culture.

Throughout the program, Turkish-speaking guidance, 5 nights of accommodation in selected hotels, intercity transportation, and admission fees to designated museums and historical sites are included in our tour package.

Tips for the guide and driver
Although there is a visa-free entry option to Uzbekistan throughout the tour program, your passport must have a minimum validity of 6 months and blank pages: While the visa-free entry right facilitates faster and easier passport control upon entry to the country, it is mandatory for the passport to have a validity of at least 6 months due to international entry regulations. Additionally, having sufficient blank pages in your passport for entry-exit stamps and any potential visa stickers prevents issues that may arise at border crossings.
The travel cost generally includes round-trip flight tickets, airport transfers, accommodation, breakfast or half-board meals, and guiding services; lunch and some dinner meals as well as personal expenses may not be included: The package tour price often covers basic transportation, hotel accommodation, certain meals, and professional guiding services, making the overall cost of the tour more predictable. However, lunch, some dinner meals, extra tours, shopping, and personal expenses are usually not included in the price, so it is important to set aside extra spending money and carefully review the "included/not included" list of the tour.
Since Uzbekistan generally has a continental climate, it is recommended to bring season-appropriate clothing, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection products, and if necessary, a light jacket or coat: Since the days can be quite hot in summer and the weather can be cold and dry in winter, planning your suitcase according to the season will enhance your comfort. Comfortable shoes for long walks in historical cities, a hat and sunscreen for hours spent in the sun, and a light jacket or coat for cool evenings and mornings will be beneficial.
The local currency is the Uzbek som; it is advisable to carry some cash for small expenses, as credit cards may not be accepted everywhere: Payments are often made in cash in markets, small shops, and local restaurants, so carrying a certain amount of Uzbek som with you is practical. While credit card facilities may be available in large hotels and tourist spots, cash reserves are necessary as POS terminals may not be available everywhere, preventing potential inconveniences.
Since cities such as Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara will be visited with an intense travel pace during the program, be prepared for long walks and historical/cultural visits: As UNESCO heritage sites, mosques, madrasas, squares, and museums will be explored in detail during the tour, your days will be active and full. Therefore, being physically prepared for long periods of standing, climbing stairs, and taking plenty of photos will help you enjoy the tour more.
In terms of health, there are no mandatory vaccinations required upon departure from Turkey, but it is highly advisable to bring your personal medications along with their prescriptions and to obtain travel insurance: Since you may not find the medications you regularly use for chronic conditions there, it is necessary to carry a sufficient quantity of your medications and, if possible, your prescriptions in Turkish/English. Obtaining comprehensive travel insurance is also crucial to facilitate access to healthcare services and to reduce financial risks in case of unexpected situations such as health issues, accidents, or lost luggage.
