Hi, my name is Bobur. I am a young and passionate English-speaking local Guide and Tour organizer in Khiva, Uzbekistan. Being a diligent student, I have completed my University Education and traveled throughout the USA. In 2016, I came back to my city and started to work as a local guide, and I found it to be a great opportunity for me to share my knowledge with my guests, and at the same time, I get to learn about other nations and cultures, which is priceless for me. And I call it " World Knowledge". I like my job very much because it taught me to be a helpful, open-minded, and honest person. I began to rediscover, love, and be proud of my city. My city is 2500 years old and it has beautiful architecture, history, and defensive city walls and etc. They are very interesting, not only for local tourists but also for foreigners. This is a great chance to discover the Pearl of Central Asia. My city welcomes more than 500,000 foreign tourists from all around the world every year. I am able to make any customized tour to fulfill all your wishes and needs. I am ready to show my city. Are you ready? -Government-certified guide -Bachelor of Translation -Certified by Kaplan International School in Boston, MA, USA -Master of Business Administration in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia No restrictions!

Overview of your Khiva tour
Tour includes 3 main forts. -Ayaz qala 1 is a fortified refuge that was probably built in the 4th century BC just after Khorezm had gained its independence from Persia. It was one of a chain of fortresses defending the main agricultural settlements of the right bank from possible attack by nomads. It is likely that the rulers of Khorezm attempted to maintain friendly relationships with the local tribes and to engage them in trade, thus creating a political buffer zone around the oasis. -Topraq qala is a local name that means "clay fort", a good description. Of course what we see today are the heavily weathered and well-trodden remains of a well-excavated site. Sadly the archaeological works were left unprotected and have become badly eroded over the past thirty years. - Some archaeologists have proposed that Qızıl qala was a military barracks garrisoned with troops, possibly linked with the nearby summer palace of Topraq qala just 3km to its east.
