Pentru a ajunge la Khiva, am zburat de la Tashkent la Urgench o ora si cincisprezece minute, cu un avion al companiei “Uzbekistan”, iar de acolo am mai mers cca. 30 km cu microbuzul. Cand ne-am ridicat in aer, soarele apunea asa ca aproape tot drumul am vazut doar o dira de lumina care despartea cerul de pamant.

Hotelul Malika-Khiva, la care am ramas doua nopti, se afla in imediata vecinatate a fortaretei Ichan Kala. la poarta sa de vest, Ota Darwoza. Predomina influenta stilului uzbek, de la poarta sculptata la decoratia camerei. Hotelul are punct de schimb valutar si cateva pravalioare.

On the Silk Road in Uzbekistan 13. Accommodation In Khiva
We had an one hour 15 minutes flight from Tashkent to Urgench, and then, by mini van, still 30 km to Khiva. We arrived there in the evening. The Malika Khiva Hotel is right near the Ota Darwoza Gate (Western Gate) to the Old City. Like in the other hotels, the presence of traditional Uzbek style was evident.

I have never seen an airport with so few passengers around! The building and the interior are quite nice.
Traveling Hawk
You are right, VP! I guess it depends on the number of flights at a certain hour.It was already late afternoon and it seems there were only two flight then. Also only the passengers access is permitted on the airport.
