Highlights
Escape the city and sleep under the stars in the middle of the Kyzylkum Desert. Your adventure starts with a drive from Khiva to the mysterious ruins of Ayaz Qala — ancient fortresses standing alone in the sand for over 2000 years. As the sun sets, arrive at your private yurt camp surrounded by golden sand dunes. Enjoy a traditional Uzbek dinner, swing on a wooden swing as the desert turns quiet, and fall asleep in your own private yurt — just you and your group, no strangers. Wake up to a fresh breakfast with desert views, before heading back to Khiva — with memories you will never forget.

About Khiva
Khiva is a walled desert city in western Uzbekistan, a Silk Road oasis of turquoise domes, carved wooden columns and brick minarets.
Khiva rises from the desert of Khorezm in western Uzbekistan, near the Amu Darya river, its inner town, Itchan Kala, enclosed by mud-brick walls about two kilometres long with four gates. Within the walls, narrow lanes link mosques, madrasas, minarets and palaces in sun-baked brick. UNESCO listed it in 1990, and it was the capital of the Khivan khanate until the early twentieth century.
