Hello!
I’m a local guide from Khiva, one of the most beautiful cities on the Silk Road and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I offer tours in Ichan Qal’a, sharing the rich history, culture, and stories of our ancient city. With experience and passion, I aim to make every visit interesting and unforgettable.
I’m not here to recite facts from a textbook. My tours are personal, immersive, and full of heart a way to truly feel the spirit of this extraordinary city. As someone who was born and raised here, Khiva is not just my home it’s my passion. I know its streets not just by name, but by the stories that echo from their stones. And I can’t wait to share them with you.
Whether it’s your first time in Uzbekistan or one stop on a bigger journey, you’ll leave with a piece of Khiva in your heart — and perhaps even a few secrets in your pocket.
Book now and let’s explore Khiva together with curiosity, wonder, and a little bit of magic.
I speak English and I’m always happy to welcome new guests to Khiva!
