Tour Khiva-Nukus for 3 days

Today you will have a wonderful sightseeing tour in the oldest city in Uzbekistan. It will be inside of Ichan-Qala, the inner city of Khiva rounded with strong walls. Centuries old, sound buildings, palaces, mosques, madrasahs, mausoleums, minarets, caravan-sarais, and bathhouses transformed Ichan-Qala into a unique city-monument. Ichan-Qala consists of over 400 traditional dwelling houses and about 60 architectural monuments. In 1969, Ichan-Qala was designated a historical and architectural conservation area. The most remarkable sites in it are the Kunya-Ark fortress, dating back to the 17th century, found by Muhammad Arang Khan, the Kalta Minor minaret and the Tash Khouvli palace, an incredible sample of Khorezm architectural mastership of the 1830s. Night is in a hotel.

Morning transfer to Nukus. Today you will have a full-day city tour of this city. First, you will visit the Museum of Savitsky, which exhibits the masterpieces of forbidden art. The museum collects 20th century Russian avant-garde paintings, including works by Sokolov, Komarovskiy, and the Amaravella group. The curator of the Karakalpakstan state museum of art collected the artworks in the 1960s. He purchased banned works by persecuted Soviet artists, sometimes free. He carefully preserved and finally exhibited them in this remote central Asian art house.
