Day 3

• On your third day, after breakfast, you’ll leave Itchan Kala and head into the vast Kyzylkum Desert, the “Red Desert,” which covers much of Uzbekistan, heading towards the region of Khwarazm and passing near the Amu Darya River.
• During the approximately 7-hour journey, you’ll stop for lunch at an oasis, enjoying the desert’s tranquility and observing the local fauna.
• As you approach Bukhara, one of the Silk Road’s jewels, you’ll begin to catch sight of the walls of the ancient Bukhara citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Upon arrival, you’ll check into a hotel within the old city and you’ll then have free time to relax before exploring this fascinating place.
• In the evening, you’ll have another night of dining at a local restaurant to savor more Uzbek dishes like kurut.
