Why I Didn't Expect This From Uzbekistan

Why I Didn't Expect This From Uzbekistan Behind the blue domes of Samarkand and the ancient streets of Bukhara lies a country that once stood at the centre of the world. This cinematic Uzbekistan travel film follows my journey through breathtaking Islamic architecture, colourful bazaars, historic Silk Road cities, mountain landscapes, traditional food and everyday Uzbek life. China once sent armies toward the Fergana Valley in search of its legendary horses. Timur transformed Samarkand into the centre of an empire. More than a century later, Babur left the Fergana Valley, crossed the mountains and established the Mughal Empire in India. A major chapter of Indian history began thousands of kilometres away, in the land now called Uzbekistan.
