Both end in “tan”, but what we find there is very different…
– UZBEKISTAN: A celebration of Islamic history and architecture along the ancient Silk Road. Desert and steppe landscapes
– KYRGYZSTAN: the Switzerland of Central Asia: nomads with their yurts, forests, an average altitude of 2000 m and the peaks of the Pamirs on the horizon.
An irresistible mix of sultans, harems, nomads, 5,000 m peaks, steppes, modernity and Soviet memories.
