Escape the city and sleep under the stars in the middle of the Kyzylkum Desert. Your adventure starts with a drive from Khiva to the mysterious ruins of Ayaz Qala — ancient fortresses standing alone in the sand for over 2000 years.
As the sun sets, arrive at your private yurt camp surrounded by golden sand dunes. Enjoy a traditional Uzbek dinner, swing on a wooden swing as the desert turns quiet, and fall asleep in your own private yurt — just you and your group, no strangers.
Wake up to a fresh breakfast with desert views, before heading back to Khiva — with memories you will never forget.
