Start in Shiraz and end in Beijing, the Silk Road Railway tour is a guided explorer trip that takes 30 days. You will visit Almaty, Xian, Persepolis and 17 other destinations in 7 different countries. Silk Road Railway is a small group tour which will include accommodation, transport, meals and others. See below for further details.

Can you imagine how those early Silk Road traders felt as they set off for their long journeys to the distant empire they knew as Cathay? Today, the journey is easier but just as incredible, and the sights you’ll experience will be equally amazing.
