Khiva is one of the most atmospheric cities of Uzbekistan, an open-air museum where every stone keeps traces of ancient eras. Ichan-Kala, covered with the history of the citadels of the Khiva khans, and picturesque narrow streets create a sense of time travel. The city attracts not only the architecture, but also the special color of the eastern bazaar, the tranquility of courtyards and the warmth of local residents, which makes Khiva a mandatory point of any route around the country.
Man-made sights here impress with variety and preservation: the palace of Allakulikhan - Tash-Khauli with its palaces and courtyards, the famous tower of Kalta-Minar, Kunya-Ark as a "fortress in the fortress", the madrasah of Muhammad Rahimhan and the mosque-madrasah of Said-bay, Ak-mosque, the gate of Palvan-Darvaz and the bastion of Akshi-Bo. In each of these monuments you can see the masterful work of plaster carvers, wood carvings and traditional oriental architecture, which answers the question "what to see" in Khiva.
Natural sights around the city complement the historical picture: the expanses of Khorezm with fields and oases, desert landscapes and sunsets over the dunes of Kyzylkum create a unique atmosphere. In the vicinity of Khiva there are ancient fortresses Ayaz-Kala, Toprak-Kala and Kyzyl-Kala - ruins harmoniously inscribed in the natural landscape, where you can feel the scale of history and enjoy the silence of the steppes and clear starry sky.
