Ali & Dilshad’s travels continue in Central Asia, this time exploring Khiva, Uzbekistan. Khiva is located in northwest Uzbekistan, and about 5 miles as the crow flies from the Turkmenistan border. Per archeologic data, it was established 1500 yrs ago. The presence of fresh water from wells and farming from irrigation using the nearby Amudarya river allowed it to develop and it became a major trading post along the Silk Road. It is a fascinating town and well worth visiting. Since 1990, the inner city of Ichan Kala has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
