This is a real oriental fairy tale! If you are planning a trip to Uzbekistan, be sure to visit Khiva. I recommend staying in the Ichan Kala fortress itself, there are many good hotels there. Ichan Kale has everything you need to stay - hotels, restaurants, cafes, shops, souvenir shops. The fortress has been preserved almost in its original form, so staying there will leave a lot of positive impressions.
A very beautiful place, a wonderful architectural, historical monument left by our ancestors, an oriental fairy tale with beautiful patterns, a place for pilgrimage for many Muslims!
According to legend, it is the burial place of a great wrestler who won competitions in India and refused a large reward in exchange for the return of the captive inhabitants of these places. Then a cemetery was formed next to him, because people believed that lying next to him was a blessing, and then the local ruler decided to lie down next to him. Then ordinary people were moved and a mausoleum and a mosque were erected. Then the premises for the ruling dynasty were completed, but they did not have time to fully use them - the Soviet government came!
