Xiva: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Culture

Xiva is defined by Ichan Kala. Ichan Kala is a cohesive and well-preserved example of Central Asian Muslim architecture. Mosques, mausoleums, madrasas, palaces, caravanserais, and markets are part of its historic ensemble.

Xiva is also associated with locally crafted handicrafts. These include handmade dolls, traditional Cho‘girma headdresses, and woodwork such as chess pieces, walking sticks, and carved doors.

Cuisine

Xiva’s cuisine includes Khorezm dishes such as tuxum-barak and locally prepared fish. It also includes Shivit Osh (green lagman), served with meat and vegetable sauce and yogurt.
