What To Expect
Start your experience with a warm welcome in Daul, one of the most beautiful villages in Pastdargʻom district. Explore a real Uzbek village home—the courtyard, traditional tandir kitchen, garden, and cellar lined with homemade preserves—then step inside to see the rooms and learn how families live day to day. Along the way, hear local stories and customs, past and present, while friendly kittens roam the yard.
To better understand Uzbek village life, we’ll visit a second home—older and remarkably well-preserved. Step inside a 100+ year-old house where the original layout, doors, windows, and even wall carpets have been kept much as they were generations ago. Admire handmade furnishings and hand-painted room and ceiling details that reveal traditional village design up close.

The best tour for an extra day in Samarkand

5.00If you’ve got an extra afternoon in Samarkand, then i highly recommend this tour! It’s very off the beaten path where you get to experience the REAL Uzbek village life and see some hidden places that only locals know. Our guide Yusuf was super informative and helpful throughout. We got to go fruit picking and tasting and also got a home cooked meal at the end of the tour by his mother which was beyond delicious! It was truly a great day!
