 | UZBEKISTAN
Tour Escort: Local Guide
|
| |
Today Uzbekistan with its numerous ancient monuments, rich nature, and present
day rapid progress attracts the whole world's attention. For centuries the
country was at the intersection of the Great Silk Road routes along which
merchants, geographers, missionaries, and later tourists traveled. It is
striking how the history, traditions and cultures of the nationalities
populating the present-day Uzbekistan have been entangled with the history of
the Great Silk Road.
Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and Shakhrizabs, where cultural and spiritual
values had long since been concentrated, where outstanding scientific centers
and schools were established, and where architecture, craftsmanship, and
applied art were flourishing, played the role of main urban centers. Creative
work and various scientific achievements of the local scientists, thinkers,
and poets have proved to be a valuable contribution to the development of the
world civilization.
Uzbekistan, where monuments of ancient cultures of different ages are
concentrated, is rightly called a treasury of history. Ichan-Kala complex in
Khiva, historical centers of Bukhara, Shakhrizabs and Samarkand are included
in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Many unique monuments and architectural
constructions in these towns have remained in a good state up to the present
day and are of a great significance to mankind.
The monuments of Samarkand are majestic and wonderful. Since olden times
Bukhara was the center of a densely populated oasis. Archeologists noted that
the city was constantly growing, both in width and in height. Ruins of
dwellings, public buildings, defense structures dating back to different
periods of the city's history were found in the earth stratum at the depth of
20 meters. There are more than 140 monuments of ancient architecture in
Bukhara alone. Khiva is the only town of the period of the Great Silk Road,
which has remained unscathed to this day. Time here seems to go back
centuries. That is why the town has rightly gained fame as "the museum in the
open". In Khiva with its narrow alleys where legends of old times seem to have
been reflected in stone and wood, you can easily imagine the life of former
generations that have left us old traditions, legends, and precepts.

 | Archaeological Treasures of Yemen
All year round - any days of the week.
Tour Escort: Native and local guides.

Arabia Felix or Arabia the Blessed as Yemen was know in ancient times, was a
name bestowed on the region by the Romans. It merited the name due to its
fertile lands, distinguishing it from the barren north, the so-called Arabia
Deserta. This enabled the people to prosper and grow into a dominant force
that controlled trade between the east and west. Yemen has been at the
crossroads of the Middle East, Asia and Africa for thousands of years thanks
to its position on the spice routes. Living at the height of the area’s
dominance were the Sabaeans, subjects of the Kingdom of Sheba. Little remains
of this ancient civilization but traces of this enterprising people and their
culture can be seen in the descendents who populate this rich historical land.
