Uzbekistan<br />
The final stop on the documentary was<br />
Uzbekistan, a country which we first<br />
encountered around 10 years ago when my<br />
colleague visited. It was once one of the main trading<br />
stops on the Silk Road and home to impressive, bold<br />
and colourful Islamic architecture. The country has<br />
a history of many conquerors and nomads who left<br />
behind a legacy of architectural sites and cultural<br />
influences. The towering fortresses of Khiva and<br />
Bukhara and the Islamic architecture of Samarkand<br />
are all a must-see, once some of the most powerful<br />
cities in the world. More recent Soviet history can<br />
be discovered in the modern day capital city of<br />
Tashkent, a modern day, well-planned and laid out<br />
city. Well worth a visit is also the sleepier Uzbek<br />
town where mud-walled houses are surrounded<br />
by traditional farmers. 12-day group tours around<br />
Uzbekistan with flights start from £1,845 per person.<br />
