Passionate storyteller, expert in local history, food and legends

Favorite site in Uzbekistan

Muhammadrizo's favorite site is the House Museum of Fayzulla Khodjaev in Bukhara, as he had my first guiding experience there. He says that it is truly one of a kind and offers a glimpse into how people lived in the past. Divided into men’s and women’s courtyards, it is a perfect embodiment of traditional Bukhara architectural style.
 

Why guide?

He has always been curious about new experiences, unknown places, delicious food, and mysterious legends — all of which fueled my passion to pursue this career. After majoring in hotel management, he found it a bit monotonous to stay in a hotel, stuck behind a screen, while my true self longed to explore hidden gems and share them with others. Above all, his friends encouraged him to become a tour guide, saying he was a natural storyteller. In the end, he decided to enroll in a guiding course, completed it with flying colors, and has now been working in this field for three years.
 

Random Facts

He like drawing, listening to music, trying new food and spending long hours in the nature.

Just wanted to say thanks for an amazing trip! Every detail was thought through — from the airport pickups to the packed lunches on long drive days. The hotels you chose for us were great.

The trip was intense but balanced, and I loved the mix of cultural immersion and nature.

As we are physically fit, the trip perfectly matched our age.

Looking forward to joining one of your Caucasus tours next year :)
 

Kind regards,

Hi Hayku, 

we are back home in Canada now. What a wonderful trip we had! The 5 Stans were amazing. The food was delicious, and the people were so hospitable. We did face a small issue during our stay in Turkmenistan where our planned visit to a particular site was unexpectedly closed for maintenance. However, our tour manager, Hayku, quickly rearranged our schedule to include an alternative site, ensuring we still got to experience the best of Turkmenistan. This adjustment meant that our trip remained smooth and enjoyable without missing out on any key experiences. Please send our warmest greetings to Nazima, our guide in Tajikistan. She was excellent, sharing so much about the local culture. 

Thank you, Arara Travel, for such an unforgettable experience.

Hello! 

I hope everything is going well with you. I would like to no sincerely thank you for all your help during the tour booking process and throughout the trip. It was a wonderful experience! We had no problems at all — we enjoyed it immensely and learned so much. The hotels were great, the guides were excellent, and the tours were absolutely spectacular. I was deeply impressed by Armenia. The people are incredibly kind, and I felt at home. Yerevan is a very pleasant city to live in, and maybe one day I will return.The history of the country and its people sparked in me a true desire to learn more about Armenian culture and also about the Armenian Genocide. I am truly grateful and will definitely recommend to my friends the excellent treatment I received. Please accept my warmest regards, and know that I am at your disposal should you need anything. 

Sincerely, 

Vera
