Day 1 - Bukhara-Nurata city -Desert Yurt Camp

Depart from Bukhara at 9:00 AM and journey through Nurata to the Kyzylkum Desert, where you'll stay at a traditional yurt camp (Sputnik or Safari).
On the way, stop in Nurata to explore Alexander the Great’s fortress ruins, visit the sacred spring, and discover other local highlights.

Continue to Lake Aydarkul for a relaxing lunch at a lakeside restaurant. Depending on the season, enjoy a swim in the lake or a scenic walk along the shoreline.

In the afternoon, arrive at your yurt camp, settle in, and take a short camel ride or a leisurely walk through the surrounding dunes.

As evening falls, gather around the campfire to enjoy a special performance of traditional music by local bards, under the open desert sky.

Day 2 - Desert Yurt Camp-Samarkand

After breakfast, you’ll head to Samarkand. The drive takes about 4 hours.
When you arrive, our driver will drop you off at a meeting point. If you're in a private group or there are fewer than 6 people, you'll be dropped off directly at your hotel.

If you’re interested, we can also arrange a 1-hour camel ride before departure for an extra €20 per person.

*Please note: private tours can be started from Samarkand as well.
