After lunch, we will proceed on a half day city tour of Tashkent.
Tashkent is one of the oldest and largest cities in Central Asia, the Uzbek capital since 1930, and very much a showpiece of Soviet and post-soviet architecture.
Afternoon We start exploring the capital by going back in time - to visit the old town: Barak Khana Seminary, Tila Shaikh mosque and their archives, known for a rare copy of the Koran written by the third Caliph Osman. Later we will continue to Chorsu bazaar, the oldest market in Tashkent and Kukeldash Madrassah.
Enjoy dinner at an Indian restaurant.
Stay at the hotel at Tashkent
