In Samarkand: we find the most spectacular architectural ensemble in all Central Asia: 14th-century Registan Square, which would easily be compared to the Taj Mahal in a contest of mosques, minarets, and mosaics. In Bukhara, once one of the 'three pearls' of the Silk Road, the old historic quarter illustrates 1.000 years of history in its collection of caravansaraes, domed bazaars, mosques, and madrassas. And in Khiva, a walled city in the very romote Khorezm oasis, the courtyards and narrow lanes of the entire inner town are a virtual outdoor museum of the 17th to 19th centuries. Our last stop is at Ashkhabad, capital of Turkmenistan, where we wander in its famous Sunday rug bazaar and ride camels before returning home.
