Visit to Khiva
City
City
Khiva is a magical city, a maze of
clay buildings and winding alleys, all surrounded by a thick fortress wall. The
center of the city is a fortress, called Ichan-Kala, that has housed several
thousand people in a medieval city for centuries. There are a number of
outstanding buildings, including Kalta-Minor, a fat and short minaret decorated
with intricate blue tiles, and Juma Mosque, whose ceiling is supported by 213
carved wooden columns with different designs. But perhaps the best reason to
tour Khiva is to just experience the city as a whole. Khiva has retained its
medieval feel, though there are people living inside its walls to this day. On
this one-day tour, it’s easy to imagine the ways that merchants must have
walked through the same streets as you yourself take this walking sightseeing
tour of Khiva.
