“It was an unforgettable and enriching experience. We spent a lovely afternoon at Aidar Lake in the desert, then headed to the yurta camp. The staff there is truly amazing, services are essential but offer everything you need. We had so much fun in the evening, clapping, singing and dancing around the bonfire. The day after, we also enjoyed the stop at Nurata. Our guide was very friendly and flexible and made our trip very comfortable. The only downside is the fact that he did not speak English, so at some point it was a bit difficult to communicate. But that did not prevent us from having fun and falling…”

Relax in Bukhara’s ancient hammam with steam, foam bath, scrub, firm massage, tea, and sweets in a private one-hour experience.

“Some confusion at the meetup were unsure of being at the right place for some time. The steam room, (too) hot marble slab and vigorous scrub were as expected, the firm massage too. Slightly surprised to have a male attendant / masseuse, and felt uncomfortable as others walked in and out between rooms. Dislike shown at the buckets of water being thrown over my head were ignored.. but it was an experience indeed, neither being offensive nor uncomfortable to a level of wanting to leave, but one I will not need again..”
