At the center of Central Asia, Uzbekistan is home to three of the most renowned of the Silk Road oases \u2013 Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. This trip takes you to these world-class UNESCO sites and adds some fascinating stops along the way, including a remarkable avant-garde art museum in an unlikely location; Central Asia\u2019s most fertile valley, brimming with melons and cotton; and the Kyzyl Kum Desert, where an overnight in a yurt holds the promise of exceptional stargazing. MIR will have you shopping in bazaars, sharing meals in local homes, visiting the workshop of a master silk-maker, and riding a camel through the desert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":8962,"menu_order":0,"template":"","trip_experiences":[13,638,15,639,640],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSilk Route Odyssey: Caravan Across Uzbekistan<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Travel to center of Central Asia with MIR.
