Vibrant Tashkent city

09:00 Meeting with the guide at the hotel.

We begin in Tashkent’s Old City at the Khast-Imam Complex, where the world’s oldest Quran rests, its ancient pages whispering devotion beneath a turquoise dome. Wander through Chorsu Bazaar, a vibrant mosaic of saffron piles, dried apricots, and handwoven silks, where the air hums with the rhythm of trade as old as the Silk Road. Ride the Tashkent Metro, each station a Soviet-era masterpiece of chandeliers and mosaics, a subterranean gallery of ambition and art. Stroll to Amir Timur Square, where the statue of Timur on horseback stands proud, surrounded by fountains and greenery, a tribute to the conqueror whose legacy shaped the nation.

Lunch at local restaurant.

Then we see the Navoi Theater, a neoclassical gem where operatic notes soar under gilded ceilings, its facade a poem in alabaster and elegance. Explore Tashkent’s modernist buildings, like the Soviet-era Hotel Uzbekistan, its geometric latticework a bold ode to 1970s design. Conclude at Tashkent City Park, a verdant oasis where families gather under twinkling lights, the skyline blending modern towers with the city’s timeless pulse. 

~17:00 end of the tour.
