Explore the ancient cities and remote desert towns of two of the most prominent countries along the Silk Road, following in the footsteps of the empires that built – and destroyed – the civilisations of the region.

From the madrassahs of old town Tashkent and the minarets of Bukhara to the flaming Darvaza Crater and the marble town of Ashgabat, this tour unearths Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
