Traveling through Khorezm, do not miss the opportunity to visit the historic town of "Ulli-Hovli", built in the 17th century by two peoples – Uzbeks and Turkmens.
"Ulli-Hovli"complex, which means "Big yard", is located in Urgench district of Khorezm region. It was originally built by the Khan of Khiva as a military camp for brave Turkmens who at that time lived between Khiva and Urgench and protected trade caravans passing through this territory from enemy raids.
Now the fortress, surrounded by a wall, is intended for everyone who wants to look into the past and learn the culture of the two peoples.
Concerts with songs and dances of Uzbeks and Turkmens are held here almost every day. In the fortress you can ride camels and horses, stroll through handicraft workshops and a gallery, take selfies with real Turkmen warriors and have lunch in Uzbek yurts.
Workhours: 9:00-18:00, Mn-Fr
