Uzbekistan Geography

Tourism  
Tamerlane, ruler of an empire stretching from India to Asia Minor, was as fond of building and boasting as an Egyptian pharaoh. Above the doorway to his massive palace he had inscribed: "If you doubt our power, look at our buildings." Centuries later, that challenge remains the most compelling reason to visit Uzbekistan.

Stunning architecture, particularly in the cities of Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva; interesting desert and mountain scenery; and a society in transition in a faraway part of the world are the main attractions of Uzbekistan.
