Khiva

Khiva is an ancient city located in the southwestern part of Uzbekistan, near the border with Turkmenistan. It is renowned for its well-preserved historic center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a history dating back over 2,000 years, Khiva was a major trading post along the Silk Road, connecting China with the Mediterranean.

The city reached its zenith during the 16th and 17th centuries when it served as the capital of the Khanate of Khiva. During this period, Khiva became a center of Islamic learning and culture, with impressive madrasas, mosques, and palaces constructed within its walls.

Today, Khiva's old town, known as Ichan Kala, is a maze of narrow streets lined with ancient buildings, including the iconic Kalta Minor Minaret, the Mohammed Amin Khan Madrasa, and the Kunya-Ark Fortress. Visitors can explore the city's rich history and architecture, as well as experience traditional Uzbek culture through its handicrafts, music, and cuisine.
