About this trip
Fourteen days across Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, two countries that sat on different branches of the Silk Road and show it in very different ways. You start in Baku before heading inland to Shamakhi and the mountain town of Sheki, then fly on to Uzbekistan for the classic run of Silk Road cities.
This is a private tour, so it's just you (or your group) and a partial guide setup rather than a fixed coach party. The pace is easy, with room to actually look at things rather than rush past them.
Expect a mix of old-town wandering, historic architecture, and bazaars rather than long days of driving — the emphasis is on culture and history, with some natural scenery around Sheki thrown in.
