Den antikke bosættelse Toprak-Kala er et enestående kulturmonument i Khorezm i det 1-6. århundrede e.Kr. Hovedstaden i Khorezm var her i det 3. århundrede e.Kr. Toprak-kala blev opdaget af Khorezm-ekspeditionen under vejledning af S.P.Tolstov i 1938. Byen havde efter planen en form for et korrekt rektangel. Guvernørens palads - et enormt slot med tre tårne - lå i et nordvestlig hjørne. Ildtemplet lå i sydøst fra slottet. En lang gade, der delte byen i to dele, førte fra ildtemplet til sydlig retning. Baner, der gik fra den, adskilte massive husblokke og dannede hovedstaden i den afdøde slaveejer Khorezm.
Ayaz Kala er en fæstning, der går tilbage til slutningen af det 4. eller begyndelsen af det 3. århundrede fvt. I denne tid var Khorezm blevet uafhængig af Persien. Ayaz Kala 1 var en del af en kæde af fæstninger, der beskyttede landbrugsbosættelserne mod angreb fra nomader. Fæstningen er beliggende på toppen af en bakke, cirka 100 m (330 fod) høj, og giver en vid udsigt over de omkringliggende sletter. Fæstningen er rektangulær i plan med sider 182 og 152 m (597 og 499 ft) lange. Hovedaksen er orienteret fra syd til nord.[4][5] I den sydlige ende af aksen er en firkantet port, som er et typisk element i grænsefæstninger i Khorezm. Fjendernes tilgang ligger parallelt med de sydøstlige mure, og angriberne var sårbare over for angreb fra oven. En massiv gateway forsvaret af to rektangulære tårne fører ind i et lille rektangulært kammer. Dette kammer var på alle sider overset af høje mure, hvorfra bueskytter kunne skyde mod fjenden i tilfælde af, at den første port blev gennembrudt.
Kyzyl-Kala-fæstningen er beliggende i det gamle Khorezm (moderne Karakalpakstan) i nærheden af den gamle by Toprak-Kala. Kyzyl-Kala er et monument af den sidste fase af antik Khorezms arkitekturhistorie og kan betragtes som en prototype på slottene fra den afrikanske periode, bølgede med massive søjler. Dette arkitektoniske sted blev opdaget under en Khorasan-ekspedition ledet af S.P. Tolstov i 1938. Alt grundlæggende undersøgelse af fæstningen blev udført af ekspeditionspersonalet. Selve fæstningen er ikke stor i størrelse og næsten kvadratisk i form. Undersøgelsen af fundamentet og strukturruinerne viste, at fæstningen var omgivet af en dobbelt vallum, og der var vagttårne i hvert hjørne af fæstningen. En hovedgade i centrum af bebyggelsen førte til et tempel af ildtilbedere, hvor zoroastriske præster holdt deres nadverritualer. Beboelsesdelen af byen var opdelt af en gade i flere afdelinger med flere rum i hver

I chose the transfer from Bukhara to Khiva by car visiting the five fortresses with Islambek travel. It is a very reliable agency with which it is easy to communicate and organize. Private tours can also be a bit customized according to current needs. Comfortable and pleasant journey, our driver Suhrob was very efficient, punctual, and an excellent guide. Interesting trip with fascinating stops at the fortresses! Recommended!
Dear Valeria, huge thanks for sharing your best impressions, highly appreciated
Superb experience and value for money
Dear Sanjeet, huge thanks for sharing your impressions, highly appreciate that
In the end, I did not take the tour of the fortresses; it seems that they are more like ruins of fortresses. The journey from Khiva to Bukhara is already quite tough; it is a long but necessary route. Both places are beautiful.
Hello, thanks for sharing your impressions, well noted
Travelling from Khiva to Bukhara can take a long time by train, so we recommend using this tour. Kyzil-Kara ↓ Toprak-Kara ↓ Ayaz-Kara We will see the sights in the following order. The advantages are that they are all difficult for individuals to reach and can be incorporated into the Khiva→Bukhara journey. Please note that the total time is 11 hours (subject to traffic conditions). It was harder to communicate because the driver spoke less English. Olimjon, from our company, supported us on the phone, which was a relief. I also enjoyed a fish meal at a restaurant near Lake Akhchakol. If you tell us what you want, we will arrange it too. Also, since it is a private car, we were the only ones, so we can travel at our own pace and sleep while traveling because it is a safe pick-up company. Ayaz-Kara walks a lot. It's like climbing. If you are lame, you may want to skip here.
Dear Makoto, huge thanks for sharing you best impressions, highly appreciate that!
Very comfortable car with excellent friendly driver. The guide for the three fortresses was excellent. Thank you.
huge thanks for your lovely feedback, highly appreciate that
Great trip. We just did the transfer to Bukhara from Khiva and it went well. I'm sure the fortresses would have been nice but we didn't have time this trip so we went straight to Bukhara.
Dear Scott, huge thanks for sharing your impressions, highly appreciate that, thanks
In late March and early April, I had the opportunity to explore the heart of Uzbekistan with a group of amazing people. One of the most memorable experiences of this trip was the organized transport from Bukhara to Khiva, about 450 kilometers across the Khorezm desert, punctuated by some of the region's most fascinating fortresses. The service started in the morning with a punctual managed to pick us up directly from our hotel in Bukhara. We found a well-maintained minivan and, above all, an extraordinary driver waiting for us. Over nearly seven hours of travel—with strategically thought-out stops—he demonstrated a mastery of the road and kindness that turned what could have been a simple commute into a curated experience. Along the way, we were guided to an authentic local eatery. This is where we enjoyed an excellent lakhgon, an unpretentious but extraordinarily tasty dish—the kind of genuine food that tells the true story of local cuisine far more than any tourist restaurant. The architectural stops in the desert fortresses proved cathartic. Those massive structures, immersed in the vastness of arid space, exert an almost overwhelming impression. They were not simple landscape photographs, but moments of silent confrontation with history. We reached Khiva at sunset. The next day, a carefully structured guided tour allowed us to understand the historical and architectural layers of the walled city with the necessary targeted explanations, transforming the visit from mere observation into a deep reading of the place. A transport service of rare quality.
Hello, huge thanks for sharing your best memories from the trip! I highly appreciate that. I hope to see you again in Khiva and at fortresses, many thanks
very good, exclellent services were provided for the transfer between Khiva and Bukhara, highly recommended travel agency OXUS.
Our tour and transfer were fantastic. We found the castles really interesting and they were in a beautiful locations, especially Ayazkala in the middle of the desert. The drive to Bakhara was comfortable and our driver was considerable about regular stops and making sure we were ok. This tour company were the best we have used in Uzbekistan. It was easy to arrange things with Olimjon via WhatsApp. He messaged with detailed information including photo of the driver and really helpful audio tours. These increased the appreciation of the sites. He called on the day to make sure we had everything we needed. This trip is part of a 10 day tour of Uzbekistan we have organised ourselves. The country is really welcoming and I would recommend it as a holiday destination
Dear James, Huge thanks for sharing your impressions! Wish you pleasant travels in Uzbekistan. Best regards Olimjon
Spectacular desert landscapes, ruins only partially restored full of charm evoke the glories and distant times, illustrated by Olimjon, competently and sympathetically, and finally digressing on a cotton field and especially on a small Soviet-style restaurant in Bost'on where you can immerse yourself in a past that is there and little else. You don't forget.
Huge thanks for sharing your best impressions, highly appreciated!
