The staff was incredibly helpful, they arrange a taxi for us to Bukhara. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Pleasant evening around the campfire, enjoying some local music.

Ruslan, who organized the stay for us, is very helpful in all possible aspects. He organized the transport from Bukhara and the next day to Samarkand for a more then competable price. We were welcomed at his family place in Nurota for a very delicious lunch. Then a driver took us to Alexander the Great’s fortress ruins for a walk, afterwards to their private place at the Aydar lake to swim. Later we arrived at Kyzylkum Desert where we were welcomed to the Yurt camp. We learned how the traditional bread is baked, had a camel ride, admired the landscape and sunset. Afterwards we enjoyed dinner with the family. At the camp fire we could admire the stars. Ruslan is perfectly caring for every aspect of your stay and makes it easy to be able to just enjoy and be fascinated. Everything is very personal and his aim is to meet everyones needs, the tourist ones as well as the host family, drivers, nature. Ruslan speaks very good English, with the family we used a mixture of English, some Russian words and the help of google translate :) A very excptional ecperience!

It's a really nice experience to stay here! It's a beautiful yurt camp with all facilities you need. We were here at the beginning of November. Most yurt camp were already closed because of low season, but this one was still open with 4 yurts (so less than they normally have). The yurt is clean and there is a heater for the cold and also a lot of blankets. When we were there, there was only 1 couple more. But even for 4 people they took us to the camels, they made food and they did a camp fire with traditional live music which was really nice. Of course it's a bit touristy, but a really great experience. And because we were there in low season, it didn't feel touristy. The family is really friendly and helpful. We can even used their Wifi. I really recommend to stay here if you are in Uzbekistan!

We had a wonderful one-night stay in the yurt! The host was incredibly kind and had everything perfectly organized down to the smallest detail. The yurt itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully arranged — a truly authentic and unique experience. If you’re looking for something special and typical of the area, this is absolutely the place to be. Highly recommended!
