Eat, Smile & Shoot – Khiva Photo & Food Tour
On this tour, I won’t just tell you the history of Khiva — I’ll show you its soul through my lens.
As a professional photographer and certified local guide, I’ll take you beyond the postcard views — into hidden courtyards, quiet alleys, and golden-hour rooftops where Khiva reveals its true magic.
Between capturing unforgettable shots, we’ll enjoy authentic Uzbek flavors and local street food, experiencing the culture not only through the eyes but also through the taste of the city. Every stop tells a story — and every photo keeps it alive.
With a strong background in guiding and photography, and a lifelong passion passed down from my father — also a photographer — I see Khiva not just as a city, but as a living work of art. I’ll help you frame its colors, light, and soul so that you can take home more than photos — you’ll take home memories.
Join me to discover Khiva’s history, capture its light, and taste its flavor — an experience where every moment is a story waiting to be told.
💡 Note:
To enter Ichan Qala (the old city), visitors need an entrance ticket that costs 250,000 UZS (around $20).
The ticket is valid for 2 days and can be paid by Visa or MasterCard.
