About this trip
Adventure through Uzbekistan on our epic 7-day itinerary through Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand.

Wondering what it's like to travel with us? Here's what Huwaydah said after travelling with us for the first time in September 2022:
My trip with Halal Travel Guide was amazing
"My 1st trip with HTG and it was amazing!
Travelling with HTG I felt safe and found like-minded travellers that enriched the experience.
The itinerary was well planned with lots of things for us to do and see. I was not aware of all the Islamic history in Uzbekistan and this was an eye opener for me. I also liked that we got to take part in pottery and calligraphy masterclass and plov making.
Loved the country, the hospitality and hope to visit again soon insha'Allah."
