Everything was relaxing and exciting and Ikrom was so kind and polite. We were shown around multiple Uzbek and kazak villages and Ikrom knew a lot of information and was an incredible guide. Everyone was very lovely I definitely recommend if you are visiting Uzbekistan!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 36 reviews · 2 days · from $215

Two days from Samarkand to Aydarkul’s Red Desert yurt camp, with camel rides, folk fire songs, and a real Milky Way night.

“Il nostro driver parlava abbastanza inglese, quindi siamo riusciti a comunicare piuttosto bene, soprattutto si è dimostrato molto disponibile per ogni nostra esigenza, ci ha tra l'altro proposto di fermarsi per mostrarci lungo la via come fanno il pane ed è stato disposto a fare una piccola sosta presso una piantagione per farci vedere il cotone che stava maturando. Insomma, grazie ad Housseini il lungo viaggio per godere dell'esperienza al campo di yurte, è stato molto piacevole e leggero.”

“Ausgesprochen wunderschöner Ort, in dem das Camp sich befindet. Natürlich, gepflegt. So freundliche Leute vor Ort, unaufdringlich, aber für jedes noch so kleine Anliegen da. Feinstes essen. Die Aktivitäten vor Ort sind top. Wir haben die Möglichkeit des wandern genutzt, fast unberührte Natur entdeckt, viele natürliche Begegnungen mit Mensch und Tier. Ikrom, der freundlichste Reiseleiter der Welt :), hat uns sowohl in Bukara als auch im Camp so wunderbar und unaufdringlich begleitet. Alles in allem - hervorragende Option!”
