The day draws to a close in Khiva. The setting sun highlights Itchan Kala, the old city museum, and in particular the Muhammad Rahim Khan Madrasah. Khiva has been selected as a flagship destination for 2026 by National Geographic, thanks in particular to the significant efforts made in building tourist infrastructure.
