Who can mention Samarkand, Bukhara or Khiva without conjuring images of the romance and intrigue of the Great Game, of skull caps and silk sashes, of fabulously coloured mosaic domes and minarets, or of a newly arrived caravan train of traders just out of the deserts of the east? This journey to the heart of Central Asia takes us back across the centuries but also reveals a modern Uzbekistan.
Select departures of this trip feature extra inclusions to mark the occasion: a visit to the world’s second largest collection of Russian avant-garde art at the Savitsky Museum in Nukus, a local meal at Ayaz Kala and a special edition Exodus kitbag.
