Registan Square, Bukhara and the Chimgan mountains — the Silk Road in 5 days, and UAE residents travel visa-free.
An Uzbekistan tour package from the UAE bundles round-trip flights from Dubai (around 3.5 hours direct), 4 nights at the Bentley Hotel Tashkent, private transfers, guided tours, all entrance fees and travel insurance into one booking — including a full-day Tashkent city tour, a Samarkand day trip on the Afrosiyob high-speed train, and a day in the Chimgan mountains — from AED 2,899 per person. Best of all, UAE residents of any nationality enter visa-free for 30 days, so there's no visa fee and no paperwork.
One country, four ways to explore it — from the turquoise domes of Registan Square and the mud-brick lanes of Bukhara, to Tashkent's bazaars and metro mosaics and the snowy peaks of Chimgan. Flights, hotels, transfers, guided tours and every entrance fee are included, or we'll build a custom itinerary.

Here's how your 4-night Silk Road Signature trip flows. Every tour, transfer and entrance fee is included — nothing on this itinerary is an optional extra.
Land at Tashkent International Airport, meet your guide and driver, and transfer privately to the Bentley Hotel Tashkent. Then straight into a full guided day across the capital:
Finish with a plate of plov at a traditional Uzbek restaurant. Overnight in Tashkent.
An early transfer to Tashkent Railway Station, then the Afrosiyob — a smooth 2-hour ride to the jewel of the Silk Road:
Return to Tashkent by evening train. Overnight in Tashkent.
A scenic two-hour drive into the Western Tian Shan:
Your day, your call:
Breakfast and check out from the Bentley Hotel, with time for last souvenirs — silk scarves, ceramics and dried apricots. We transfer you privately to Tashkent International Airport for your flight home, with the domes of Samarkand still in your head.
Be honest with yourself about the heat: Samarkand and Bukhara sit in the desert, and July–August routinely tops 40°C. Spring and autumn are the real windows — mild, clear and perfect for the Silk Road cities. Come in summer and we'll build the trip around the cool Chimgan mountains instead.
| Season | Months | Weather | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | Apr – Jun | Mild 18–30°C, blossom & green | Best overall — ideal for Registan, Bukhara and the bazaars |
| Summer | Jul – Aug | Very hot, 35–42°C in the desert cities | Sightsee at dawn, then escape to the cool Chimgan mountains & Charvak |
| Autumn | Sep – Oct | Crisp 15–28°C, harvest season | Best overall — golden light on the tilework, melons everywhere |
| Winter | Nov – Mar | Cold, -5 to 10°C | Lowest prices, monuments almost to yourself, Amirsoy skiing |
The sweet spot: mild, clear days and gorgeous low light on Registan's turquoise tilework. Autumn adds the melon and grape harvest. Ideal for couples and photography.
It matches UAE school holidays, but be warned — the desert cities hit 40°C. We schedule sightseeing for early morning and base the rest of the trip around Chimgan and Charvak, where it's genuinely cool.
The quietest and cheapest window. Snow settles on the domes, you can photograph Registan with almost nobody in the frame, and Amirsoy opens for skiing an hour from Tashkent.
This is where Uzbekistan quietly beats every one of its neighbours. Unlike Turkey or Kyrgyzstan, where only your passport counts, Uzbekistan grants visa-free entry on the strength of your UAE residence visa itself — whatever passport you hold. Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Bangladeshi, Egyptian: if you live in the UAE, you can simply book and go.
Visa-free for up to 30 days, on the strength of your UAE residence visa alone. No e-Visa, no fee, no paperwork.
Your UAE residence visa must be valid for at least 90 days beyond your date of entry into Uzbekistan. If it's close to expiry, renew before you fly.
UAE, GCC, UK, EU, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Malaysia, Singapore and more are visa-exempt anyway, regardless of residency.
The online e-Visa at e-visa.gov.uz costs about USD 20 for single entry and is usually issued within 3 days. We'll handle it with you.
Visa rules differ by nationality and can change. Entry is at the sole discretion of Uzbek immigration. Passport valid 6+ months. Apply only via the official portal (e-visa.gov.uz) or through us — we confirm current requirements & fees for your passport and residence visa before you travel.
Mix and match these experiences into any package — just tell your consultant what you'd love to do.

Our Uzbekistan packages include round-trip economy airfare from the UAE, 4 nights at the Bentley Hotel Tashkent, all private transfers, all guided tours, Afrosiyob high-speed train tickets to Samarkand, every entrance fee to the monuments, and travel insurance. Lunches and dinners are the only significant extra.
Our Silk Road Signature package starts from AED 2,899 per person for 4 nights, including flights, hotel, all tours and every entrance fee — down from AED 3,999. Honeymoon, family and grand-tour packages range from around AED 3,499 to AED 6,900 per person.
Almost certainly not — and this is where Uzbekistan beats its neighbours. Unlike Turkey or Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan grants 30-day visa-free entry on the strength of your UAE residence visa itself, whatever passport you hold. Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Bangladeshi and Egyptian passport holders living in the UAE can simply book and go. The one condition: your UAE residence visa must be valid for at least 90 days beyond your date of entry. Bring your original Emirates ID and residence visa to show at the border.
April–June and September–October are the real windows: mild, clear, and perfect for Samarkand and Bukhara. July–August is genuinely punishing in the desert cities, where temperatures routinely top 40°C — if you travel then, we schedule sightseeing at dawn and base the trip around the cool Chimgan mountains. November–March is the cheapest and quietest, with skiing at Amirsoy.
4 nights covers Tashkent, a Samarkand day trip by high-speed train and the Chimgan mountains. Allow 6–8 days to add Bukhara and Khiva and complete the full Silk Road circuit.
Direct flights from Dubai to Tashkent take around 3.5 hours — the shortest hop of any Central Asian destination. Uzbekistan is just 1 hour ahead of UAE time.
Yes. You can split your booking into easy, interest-free instalments with Tabby and Tamara, plus we accept major cards. Ask your consultant about current payment plans.
Superb for both. Families get the Chimgan cable car and Amirsoy snow play, Central Asia's largest Oceanarium, Magic City theme park and Tashkent City Park. Culture lovers get four UNESCO Silk Road cities, and the fact that every entrance fee is already included means no nickel-and-diming at the gates.
Every package is a starting point. Add Bukhara and Khiva, upgrade to a boutique caravanserai, or combine Uzbekistan with Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan for a full Central Asia trip — just tell us what you have in mind.
Uzbekistan is a Muslim-majority country, so halal food is the default everywhere — plov, samsa, lagman and shashlik. The currency is the Uzbekistani Som (UZS). Cards work in Tashkent hotels and larger restaurants, but carry cash for bazaars, taxis and smaller towns.
Travelling to Uzbekistan? These neighbouring Central Asia and Caucasus destinations pair perfectly — many travellers link Tashkent with Almaty or Bishkek on one Silk Road trip. Flights, hotels, tours and visa help in one price. Tap any destination to see its packages.
Tell us your dates and group and we'll send a tailored Uzbekistan quote — flights, hotels, guided tours and every entrance fee, all in one price. Free, fast, no obligation.
Please note: Prices are indicative, per person on twin-sharing, and subject to availability. They may change due to airline fares, hotel availability, seasonal demand, exchange rates and supplier updates. Entry requirements are at the sole discretion of the respective immigration authority. Inclusions and exclusions vary by package and travel date. Please confirm the final itinerary, pricing and terms with our travel consultant before booking.
Extensions to Bukhara and Khiva, boutique caravanserai upgrades and private-guide options are available at a supplement and can be added to your package on request.
