ヒヴァからブハラへの要塞移動（またはその逆）

nice transfer service between Khiva and Bukhara, highly recommend to visit castles on the way

The transfer from Khiva to Bukhara with the visit to the three desert fortresses was an extraordinary experience and organized in an impeccable way. A special thanks goes to the Oxus Travel agency for the perfect management of the itinerary and, above all, to our driver Sarvar. Sarvar proved to be an exceptional professional: a cautious driver, an extremely friendly person, helpful and attentive to our every need throughout the journey. The stop to explore the ancient fortresses turned a simple trip into a fascinating journey through history. The vehicle was clean, modern, and comfortable, ideal for tackling the kilometers in the desert. I highly recommend Oxus Travel and the driver Sarvar to anyone looking for a reliable, safe, and high-level service in Uzbekistan!

We did not just want to fly over Uzbekistan, but to "feel" the vast land. That is why we combined the tour of the Khorezm fortresses with a car transfer (with driver) from Khiva to Bukhara. The fortresses were interesting, the 5-hour drive through the desert was exciting. Our Silk Road was the new A380 highway. 😊 The travel agency was very helpful, the driver professional. Since we had a lot of luggage, we got a very nice SUV. Highly recommended!

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!

Superb experience and value for money

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.

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.

Very comfortable car with excellent friendly driver. The guide for the three fortresses was excellent. Thank you.

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.

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.
