One of the attractions of Khiva that is worth a visit. The palace was built in the late 19th and early 20th century. Once it had more than 100 rooms. After a recent restoration, several halls are open for display. There are many authentic things, three chandeliers have been preserved, donated by Nikolai ll Nurullbai. There is a courtyard and a garden inside the palace. We were there in December, it was deserted, and in spring and autumn it should be very beautiful there. They work until 18 hours. All employees speak Russian. The atmosphere is very pleasant.
A huge complex of architectural monuments near Ichan-kala. It consists of several courtyards and various types of buildings. The structures are even two-storied. In 2022, the conference "Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan in the collections of the world" and the final concert were held.
Great place!

Such an interesting place. Several museums are located inside the complex, including the palace itself. Most of all, I was impressed by the museum dedicated to the first Uzbek photographer and cameraman Khudoibergen Devonov.
A huge cool palace. I definitely recommend you to visit if you suddenly find yourself in Khiva.

The idea is good, but there is not enough more interactive, this place could be made a center of contemporary art and an art space for tourists hungry for interactive bored in Khiva
A beautiful palace, and an exhibition of the first-ever photographs and cinematography of Khiva is also taking place.
We recommend you to take a guide, he tells you very interestingly about the history of the palace and Khiva.
The most beautiful palace in Khiva is located in a common walled complex. It is very beautiful inside the palace itself, you can only enter by taking off your shoes because the floor is shot with carpets. Very expensive and beautiful furnishings. It is also very beautiful and interesting to walk around.
It's a very cool place. The last Emir of Uzbekistan lived here. The palace is made in Russian style with Uzbek decoration. I do not recommend buying souvenirs, it is expensive. The cheapest souvenirs in Khiva.
Interesting, but not particularly impressed. Probably, the impression was spoiled by an already polluted and blooming pond.

A beautiful place!! It's worth a walk here! But be sure to hire a guide - and they will tell you a lot of interesting information about the life of Central Asia in the 19th and early 20th century!! Very exciting!!!
We were brought there three hours before departure, which is a pity: a very sincere museum, extremely full of exhibits and made in a modern way. Just about a storehouse of information about Khiva
Keep it up !
The first museum seen in Khiva. I really liked it! We searched for a long time for a hammam room, but we found it. Very interesting expositions: cinema lecture halls, paintings, photographs. I recommend definitely visiting!

Very beautiful. The hall with the exhibition of paintings is wonderful. Rooms with a four-poster bed and many other things of indescribable beauty!.. You need to count on at least 1.5 -2 hours to be there at least. I recommend.
A wonderful place, a large territory, there is something to see

There is not enough information and descriptions, but in general it is a very calm and pleasant place, and surprisingly not popular...I walked there alone most of the time)
