At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Tashkent and get on the minibus to start exploring the capital of Uzbekistan. As we head to our first destination, we will talk about the city's glorious past as an important stop on the iconic Silk Road. You will learn how its name means "city of stone".
