A drive through Uzbekistan takes you some of the key historic parts of the Silk Road, although you should watch for potholes along the way. Though the roads in larger cities and major connections are good, there are many stretches with damage. You also should be aware if you are planning to travel over long distances that fuel can be scarce. Police checkpoints and stops are very common throughout the country and the enforcement of road rules is strict.

Khiva thrived during the silk trade and the trading fort dates to the 8th Century. The Registan public square in Samarkand is one of the country’s most extraordinary architectural masterpieces, with many of its standout structures built during the Timurid Dynasty.
