Uzbekistan Solo Tours
Situated in the centre of Asia and on one of the world's most important historic trading routes - the Silk Road - it's no wonder that Uzbekistan has a history as fascinating as it is long. A point where east meets west, imperial Russia meets Islamic Asia; Uzbekistan is a dazzling mosaic of culture and colour, of myth and legend, and is well worth a visit.
