★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 35 reviews · 2 days · from $215

Review of Asli Travel’s 2-day yurt camp tour from Bukhara, with Aydarkul Lake, camel riding, desert sunsets, meals, and practical tips.

“Other than the transportation, it was not a good experience, to say the least. There was nothing to do there in that freezing cold dezert, the facilities were rather poor and the food was mediocre at best. There was actually no guidance at all, as soon as we got to our yurt we were left alone. The yurt was shabby and depressing. We were so happy and relieved when it all came to an end on the following day!”

Review of a private Bukhara to Samarkand desert safari with petroglyphs, Nurata, camel riding, Aydarkul Lake, and a night in a yurt.

“Guida eccezionale e molto gentile che ha reso il tour molto piacevole con la sua cura e le sue spiegazioni in un ottimo inglese. Ikrom ha permesso che aggiungessi una stella alla valutazione di un’organizzazione mediocre che non vale, tuttavia, il prezzo di quasi 340€ che ho pagato, maggiorato perché ero da sola.
