Om
Raske fakta: Den indre bymuren i Khiva inneholder over 50 historiske bygninger og 250 hus pakket innenfor et område på 26 hektar. Over 2000 håndverkere og deres familier bor og arbeider fortsatt innenfor disse murene, og holder gamle silkeveistradisjoner levende daglig.
Høydepunkter: Ved solnedgang, klatre den 118-trinns spiraltrappen inne i det ufullførte Kalta Minor-minareten. Dets turkise flisverk fanger det gyldne lyset så intenst at hele tårnet ser ut til å lyse fra innsiden.
Insidertips
- For the best photos of the Kalta Minor minaret, shoot from the northwest corner of the Ichan Kala wall at golden hour.
- Skip climbing all the way up the Islam Khodja minaret unless you want 118 very narrow, steep steps with no railings.
- Buy souvenirs from the workshop cooperatives near the West Gate, they cost half what merchants charge inside the main square.
- Wear closed-toe shoes for climbing the uneven mud-brick staircases of the city walls and watch your head in 15th-century doorways designed for shorter people.
