A 'MUST' whilst you're there?

Favourite time of year to visit Khiva
"September/October. You will have clear blue skies, the heat of being in the Khorezm desert has subsided and you will pretty much have the place yourself... just you and the locals - perfect."
Benefits of a tour guide for Khiva
"A tour guide will show you all the hidden places tucked away in the labyrinth of cobbled narrow alleyways and bazaars. You will also learn about its rich Silk Road history and all its stories."
Why is it called Khiva?!
"Khiva in English means "Sweet Water". The legend goes the Silk Road camel trains stopped here to take a drink from the natural spring in the desert. The word "Khiva" was spoken & the name stuck!"
Where is Khiva?
"The ancient city is located on the edge of the Khorezm Desert in Western Uzbekistan, on the Turkmenistan border. It's approximately a 1-hour flight to Urgench from the capital, Tashkent."

Uzbekistan
Travel Blogger: inbetweentravels
Favourite time of year to visit Uzbekistan
"The best time to visit Uzbekistan is in the shoulder season (April, May, September or October) to enjoy pleasant temperatures. However, if you are a fan of skiing, you can try the winter season too!"
@inbetweentravels's Top Tips
"Travel by train! The trains in Uzbekistan are amazing. You can either choose the older but comfortable sleeper train or travel with the 'Afrosiyob', with a 250 km/h speed."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
What do you love most about Uzbekistan?
"The people are so friendly and helpful! Also, the destination is not widely known yet, despite the amazing architecture and culture."

Favourite time of year to visit Lapland
"Lapland is beautiful throughout the year, but the best chance to experience the northern lights is from September to April when it’s dark enough."
Where to stay?
"There are plenty of accommodations in Lapland, from hotels to cute cottages, but one quite unique experience is staying in a glass igloo!"
Benefits of a tour guide for Lapland
"You might be lucky enough to experience the northern lights from the comfort of your own cabin, but there are also plenty of tour guides who can take you to the best spots to witness the phenomenon."
@ulrika.wanderwoman's Top Tips
"You don’t need to stay awake the whole night, but the northern lights are usually seen some hours before and after midnight. Many hotels have also wake-up services for the northern lights."
@ulrika.wanderwoman's Top Tips
"Remember that it’s never 100% guaranteed to see the northern lights, as it’s a natural phenomenon and the sky must be dark and clear. Fortunately, there are plenty of other things to do in Lapland."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Must pack items for Lapland
"Especially around New Year’s, it can be extremely cold in Lapland, even -30 Celsius degrees. So remember to bring warm clothes and a lot of layers!"

Why should you visit Fez?
"Fez is a little less popular than Marrakesh or Chefchaouen, but it shouldn't be! There's lots of culture, great food and things to do!"
What do you love most about Fes?
"Exploring the old Medina!"
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Benefits of a tour guide for Fes
"A tour guide is a must! Fez is an absolute maze, and the old city has poor WiFi. Additionally, a tour guide can help to reduce the number of locals trying to hawk their goods to you (there's a lot!)"
Don't miss...
"Visit the Tannery in Fez. This is a still-working leather Tannery showing the process that the locals have used for many years."
