In the Wall Street Journal, Patrick Barta takes a look at the emerging tourism scene in Uzbekistan’s three great Silk Road cities, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, and what the long-ignored country is doing to adapt to the new visitors. The accompanying slideshow has me sold—Uzbekistan is officially on my list.

Hmm…I read the article and looked at the slide-show. It’s an amazing place with a lot of history and culture. Should definitely open for visitors.

Samarkand & Khiva (NOT Shiva!) are great historic places to visit.

Thanks for the catch, Dubaipal. It’s fixed now.
