KHIVA
Khiva is the city of "Thousand
and One Nights" and walking through its ancient streets and the
surrounding historical buildings, we feel that we are returning to the old
days. So that city has received the name of "open-air museum",
it is one of the few cities in the world where an open-air city has been
preserved in its historical state. In its monuments we see the most beautiful
works of the master craftsmen of the Khorezm area oasis. Ichan Kala - Khiva's
inner citadel is the only surviving monumental city in Central Asia, whose
destiny in the past, its architectural monuments are closely related to the
historical and cultural development of the oldest cultural oasis in the world.
Khiva was the first city in
Central Asia to be inscribed on the World Heritage List by a special resolution
of the 14th session of UNESCO in Canada on December 12, 1990.
In the Middle Ages, Khiva
was the city of scholars. It should also be noted that there is another great
scientist who grew up in the Khorezm region, and the science that he founded
played an important role in the development of mankind. This scholar was the
famous Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Musa al-Kharaizmi, who founded the science of
algebra and the term is well known from his book
In his time, Khorezm was the
center of international trade and an important part of the Great Silk Road.
