Urgench Airport → Khiva
This route starts at Urgench International Airport. Give your flight details and hotel address in Khiva to arrange the meeting and drop-off points.
Choose your starting point and the journey you need. Each card gives a distance guide, a practical tip and a next step. Routes with clearly identified endpoints link to driving directions in Google Maps.
Compare the direct road with a journey through places you want to visit. For a trip across several cities, browse the CAJ programmes below; for a single journey, compare a car transfer with the train.
Distances help you make an initial plan. “Map estimate” marks driving routes checked in Google Maps on 15 October 2026: newly checked sections under 20 km are rounded to the nearest kilometre, and the others to the nearest 5 km. Other figures are earlier approximate CAJ guides with no known measurement date. Main road numbers do not cover every city access road.
Maps open driving directions for the named route. A city marker is not your hotel address, and an airport marker is not an agreed terminal meeting point. Add your addresses and stops before departure. For a lakeside place or camp, confirm the exact point first. Check journey times for your date and allow time for stops.
Choose your airport and the exact destination: a city landmark, an attraction or another city. Agree on the terminal meeting point using your flight details.
