In the article about Khiva, John O'Ceallaigh describes the city as an open-air museum, where every street in the old city of Ichan-Kala immerses you in the atmosphere of the medieval East. He notes the unique preservation of architectural monuments such as the Islam Khoja Minaret, the Juma Mosque and the Tash-Khauli Palace, and emphasizes the importance of traditional crafts and carpet weaving. The author shares personal impressions of street life, spontaneous celebrations and the silence that can be found at dawn, walking along ancient streets.

The articles note the active development of the tourism sector in Uzbekistan, where the emphasis is on the preservation and popularization of the rich historical and architectural heritage. Publications in Conde Nast Traveller demonstrate the country's desire not only to preserve cultural landmarks, but also to integrate them into modern tourism infrastructure - from hotels to cultural events. Such materials play an important role in promoting Uzbekistan on the international stage, shaping its image as a promising and attractive destination, especially for those travelers who are looking for authentic experiences outside the usual routes.
