Khiva (Ichan-Kala) is a perfectly preserved silk‑road walled city of mudbrick palaces, tiled madrasas and soaring minarets—ideal for architectural detail, texture and panoramic courtyard shots. Best at golden hour and blue hour when warm brick contrasts with glazed tiles. Accessible on foot inside the old town (paid entry to Ichan‑Kala); parking outside city gates. Dress respectfully; expect crowds mid‑day in high season (May–Sept).
