What To Expect

Kunya-Urgench

Kunya-Ark Fortress – Located in the western part of Itchan Kala, Khiva's old city, Kunya-Ark (meaning "Old Fortress") was the residence of Khiva's khans. Built in the 17th century, it includes a throne room, harem, mosque, mint, and observation tower. The fortress offers insight into royal life and provides panoramic views of the city from its watchtower.

Pahlavan Mahmud Complex – This revered mausoleum in Khiva honors Pahlavan Mahmud (1247–1326), a celebrated poet, philosopher, healer, and undefeated wrestler who became the city's patron saint. Originally a modest tomb, it was transformed in the 19th century into a grand complex featuring Khiva's largest turquoise dome, intricate majolica tilework, and finely carved wood and brass elements. The site also serves as the dynastic burial place for Khiva's Qungrat khans, including Muhammad Rahim Khan I and Allah Quli Khan. Located within Itchan Kala, the complex remains a significant spiritual and architectural landmark.
