Ichan Kala, the walled historic inner town of the city of Khiva, is one of the popular destinations for tourists visiting Uzbekistan. This gigantic open-air museum, where one can wander the narrow streets of the ancient Silk Road town for hours, retains about 60 historic monuments and 250 old houses. Uzbekistan can offer tourists lots of unique attractions, yet tourism remains a sorely underperforming sector. (Photo: Asian Development Bank via Flickr.com)
