The city of Khiva was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1990, and its 2500th anniversary was celebrated in 1997. In 2020, it was named the Cultural Capital of the Turkic World, and in 2024, it became the Tourism Capital of the Islamic World.

Known as the "open-air museum," Khiva is considered the only fully preserved city monument in Central Asia. There are more than 120 architectural monuments located here.

The distinguished guests began their tour at the "Ota Darvoza" (Father Gate) and continued to explore unique sites such as the "Kuhna Ark" complex, Shergazi Khan Madrasah, Juma Mosque, "Toshhovli" complex, and other monuments.

In honor of the guests, Uzbek folk songs were performed, and a theatrical show was presented.

The presidents then visited the Nurullaboy Palace.

The palace garden complex was built in the early 20th century. The complex includes a madrasa, over 100 rooms, and galleries. In decorating the palace rooms, Khivan master craftsmen, along with foreign artist-decorators, participated, blending European modern style with the oriental appearance of the palace.

The history of Khiva and its contributions to science, as well as the rich culture and art of the region, left a great impression on the guests from Kyrgyzstan.
