Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is the heart of the Silk Road, culturally and geographically. Situated in Central Asia, this extraordinarily varied country is famed for its UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the ancient cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva; but is also building a reputation for adventure tourism in its mountains and deserts, for community-based tourism, and for immersive cultural experiences. Almost 100 nationalities can visit Uzbekistan visa-free, and with strong international flight connections, a high speed train network, and great accommodation options for all budgets, there's never been an easier or more appealing time to visit.

Republic of Georgia

Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is the country where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with modern dynamism. Nestled in the South Caucasus, this remarkably diverse destination is renowned for its UNESCO-listed sites and the breathtaking landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains. As the cradle of wine, Georgia boasts an 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition, with unique grape varieties and ancient qvevri techniques still in use today.

The country’s rich culinary heritage offers everything from flavorful khinkali dumplings to the iconic khachapuri, while its museums showcase centuries of art, archaeology, and culture.

Georgia is also a year-round destination, home to world-class ski resorts like Gudauri, Bakuriani, and Goderdzi, where visitors can enjoy pristine slopes and breathtaking alpine scenery. In contrast, the Black Sea coastline offers a completely different experience, with vibrant seaside cities, like Batumi, known for their subtropical climate, lively atmosphere, and modern architecture. With a growing network of highways and railways, and accommodation options to suit every budget, there’s never been a better time to explore this hidden gem of the Silk Road.
