Starting in Tashkent, we travel on the Afrosiab high-speed train to Samarkand, discovering its rich history and the ancient Afrosiab archaeological site.
Venturing further, we explore the vineyards of Bagizagan and their winemaking traditions, a legacy of Alexander the Great.
Last stop in Bukhara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its madrasahs and ancient plov, or osh sofi, prepared according to centuries-old recipes.
