Having gained independence in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan is a young country. But the roots of this vast land are ancient.
For centuries, this area of land was a major crossroads along the Silk Road – an age-old trading route that stretched all the way from China to the Mediterranean. Samarkand, one of three major cities dotted along the road, contains so many architectural feats from this period that it has been classed entirely as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See for yourself at the Registan, a wide plaza bordered by three mosaic-covered madrassas (religious schools) with bright turquoise domes. To the west, Bukhara offers similarly impressive landmarks, including the ruins of a 5th-century royal compound known as the Ark, while the walled city of Khiva further north is the most remote but best-preserved of the Silk Road cities. Here you’ll find stunning mosques, mausoleums and palaces towering over a labyrinth of streets. But there’s more to Uzbekistan than ancient history. Tashkent, the urban capital in the eastern region, is refreshingly cosmopolitan, while in the far north you can visit the Aral Sea – formerly one of the world’s largest lakes now on the verge of disappearing completely.
Hotels and guesthouses are aplenty in the capital, as well as in the Silk Road cities. Accommodation is quite limited elsewhere.

Owners were really great , sharing their experiences and made us feel like home. The lady made one of the best Vegetarian break fast as I made a request during my booking. Their son who came to say good bye also helped us to load our baggage in the taxi showing their traditional value of respect.

Guest review
Our stay at Home Boutique Hotel was nothing short of marvelous. From the moment we stepped in, the staff greeted us with politeness and warmth, setting the tone for our entire stay. Their helpfulness and welcoming nature made us feel right at home.
The rooms were a standout feature - neat, well-furnished, and surprisingly spacious. We were impressed by the elegant yet simple exterior of the hotel, which cleverly disguises the luxury that lies within. Once inside, the elegance is unmistakable. Each room feels brand new, furnished with fine taste and an eye for detail.
The facilities are not only modern but also highly functional, striking a perfect balance between aesthetic appeal and practicality. Staying at Home Boutique Hotel felt like a treat, with every aspect carefully designed for comfort and style.
