What To Expect

Your journey begins at the breathtaking Kalta Minor Minaret, Khiva’s most photographed landmark. Its dazzling turquoise tiles glow under the desert sun, and your guide will share the legend of why this “short minaret” was never finished. Next door, step into the Muhammad Amin Khan Madrasah, once the largest in Central Asia, where hundreds of students once studied theology and philosophy.
