Uzbekistan

The countries of Central Asia have only recently opened up their borders to more tourism in the hope of stimulating their economies.

Uzbekistan which is one of the former USSR states is the best one to start with! The sheer volumes of history dating from the Biblical times to the Medieval days are enough to grab your attention.

The Registan in Samarkand is a must visit and was a major stop on the ancient Silk Route that connected Europe with the Orient!
