Khiva is known as a museum city under the open sky. It existed as a town for about 900 years, but was developed into the settlement as it is seen today only by the 19th century, when it was the last oasis on the northern Russian slave trade rout. Important spiritual and cultural values came form the large scientific centers of astronomy, mathematics, and medicine that existed in this area centuries ago. One can wander through the narrow streets of Khiva, peeking into the small courtyards through the wooden carved doors. The life inside the gardens assures the visitor that it is not just a museum, but also a living city.
------------------------------------
Khiva se encuentra en Uzbekistán perla y paraiso entre desiertos, cuna de una de las civilizaciones más antiguas y fascinantes que se conocen. Formó parte junto con Kazajstán, Kirgizistan, Tadzhikistan y Turkmenistán,en la denominada Asia Central Soviética. Es la más poblada, la más fascinante y la de mayor atractivo turístico de las cinco repúblicas. Nombres como Khiva,Bukhara y Samarkanda, evocan esplendores arquitectónicos, alfombras celebérrimas, caravanas cargadas de mercancías en la legendaria Ruta de la Seda, siendo la capital uzbeka, Tashkent una moderna y agradable metrópoli de más de dos millones de habitantes, la más occidentalizada del Asia Central .
