Urgench International Airport

Urgench International Airport is the main air gateway to western Uzbekistan and the closest airport to Khiva, a UNESCO-listed Silk Road city about 35 kilometers away. Modernized for regional and international travel, it offers a practical arrival point for visitors exploring Khorezm’s historic architecture, desert landscapes, and cultural heritage. While the airport itself is primarily functional rather than a sightseeing destination, its value lies in convenience: it provides the quickest access to one of Uzbekistan’s most atmospheric and historically rich regions.
