Best Travel Experiences in Khiva

The main draw in Khiva is Ichan-Kala. There is a tall defensive wall surrounding this historic fortification. 26 hectares are occupied by Ichan-Kala. There are currently 300 families residing here, the majority of them hereditary craftspeople. On the fortress's grounds lies the state Historical and Archaeological Museum-reserve. Ichan-Kale is home to all of Khiva's major attractions. In 1598, work on the fortress' construction got under way. Although there are earlier ones as well, the most of the structures that have endured to the present were constructed between the XVIII and XIX centuries. According to scientists, Ichan-Kala is believed to be situated on the site of a former stronghold from the fifth century.

The Kalta Minor Minaret (also known as the Kalta Minar) is arguably the city's most recognisable feature. "Kalta Minor" means "Short Minaret" when translated from Uzbek. Muhammad Amin Khan, who started the building, had intended for the minaret to reach a height of 70 to 80 metres, making it the tallest in the Muslim world. But work on the building was halted in 1855, when the minaret's height was about 29 metres. According to historians, Muhammad Amin Khan's passing is to blame for this. Tiles and majolica in shades of blue, green, and white were used to embellish the minaret. One of Central Asia's most stunning minarets today is Kalta Minor.
