Near to absolutely uninteresting from the point of view of historical "excursion" of modern Urgench there is Khiva. In the distant past, this city enjoyed the fame of one of the largest slave markets in the Middle East. Inside the old city of Khiva, Ichan-Kala there are hotels and restaurants for tourists. The main entrance is the western gate leading to the square to the madrasah of Mohammed Amin Khan.

Near it is the minaret of Kalta-Minar, lined with blue-green tiles. On the contrary - the entrance to Kukhna-Ark, the palace of Khiva khans. Further along Pahlavon-Mahmud street there is an interesting Friday Mosque, Islam-Khudja Madrassah and Pakhlavon Mahmud Mausoleum, the patron saint of Khiva.
