Melon Festival in Khiva: Festival and Itchan Kala

Once a year, ancient Khiva transforms into a lively folk celebration — the Melon Festival, where whole mountains of fragrant fruit fill the city streets, national music plays, and in the evening the stage comes alive with a vibrant open-air concert. This tour combines two vivid experiences: the atmosphere of a genuine Uzbek celebration with its tastes, colors and music, followed the next day by a calm immersion into history — an unhurried walk through the entire territory of Itchan Kala, a museum-city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perfect for those who want to see Uzbekistan not only through its majestic monuments, but through the lens of living folk traditions.
