Nurullabay Palace Walking Tour: Royal Khiva Experience
♡ Save
Explore the hidden gems of Khiva at Nurullabay Palace. This tour reveals royal halls and stunning architecture, blending traditional heritage with modern Khorezm culture. Experience a unique journey through Uzbekistan’s living history.
Explore one of Khiva’s most unique and lesser-known landmarks — Nurullabay Palace, the residence of Khiva’s last khans. Unlike the ancient monuments of Itchan Kala, this palace reflects a fascinating mix of traditional Khorezm architecture and European influences.
On this guided walking tour, you will step inside richly decorated halls, learn about the lifestyle of the royal court, and discover how Khiva entered a new historical era in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Your local guide will share stories about the palace, political changes, and daily life of the khans, giving you a deeper understanding beyond what you see.
This experience is perfect for travelers who want to go beyond the classic routes and discover a hidden side of Khiva in a relaxed and authentic way.
