Uzbekistan's history goes back twenty centuries, making it the oldest country in Central Asia, and as a result there is a lot to see and do in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan has many cities filled with hundreds of architectural monuments from a variety of different eras. Some of these cities, which were centres of science and art, are Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Termez, Shakhrizabs and Kokand.

In a bygone era, The Great Silk Road, which is decidedly one of the most dramatic achievements in the history of civilization, passed through the cities of Uzbekistan.

Other countries of Central Asia such as Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Iran also have some of these monuments.

Uzbekistan possesses the highest number of historically significant monuments along The Silk Route. Some of these are the Ichan-kola ensemble in Khiva, and the historical monuments of ancient Bukhara, Samarkhand and Shakhrisabz, which have acquired worldwide renown. Merv, in modern Turkmenistan, is also noteworthy as a well preserved ancient oasis town.
