Tour Details
A night in the Kyzylkum desert
Between Samarkand and Bukhara lies the Kyzylkum — the ‘red sand’ desert. This two-day trip takes you to the ancient town of Nurata, then on to a traditional yurt camp, where you will ride a camel, eat dinner by the fire with folk music and sleep under one of the clearest night skies in Central Asia.
The next morning we drive to Aydarkul Lake for a swim before continuing to Bukhara (or returning to Samarkand).
