Our story
UZORA Travel is based in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, with our office at the Jahongir Premium Hotel on Chirokchi Street. Our story began in 2009, when we opened Jahongir B&B, a small guesthouse that has since become one of the top places to stay in Samarkand. As we gained valuable experience over the years, the wish to serve a larger group of travellers led us to open a separate tour department.
Relying on well-established connections, we work with trusted, professional drivers and guides in all parts of Uzbekistan to give our guests outstanding service.
Today we organise private day trips, multi-day journeys, tailor-made itineraries and transfers across the Silk Road: from the tiled squares of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva to the villages of the Nuratau Mountains, yurt camps by Aydarkul Lake and the Seven Lakes of Tajikistan. The hospitality we learned as hosts is still at the heart of every trip.
Since 2009

Years of hosting guests gave us a network of professional drivers and guides we know and rely on, all over Uzbekistan.
Private and flexible
Every tour is private. Start times, pace and stops can be adjusted to you, and we are happy to change the plan on the way.
