Khiva (night time), Uzbekistan / 2025

#hellohalloween

Khiva by Night 🌙 feels like stepping into a time portal. When the sun sets and the crowds disappear, the mudbrick walls of Itchan Kala glow softly under golden lanterns. The Kalta Minor Minaret shines like a turquoise beacon in the dark, while quiet alleys echo with distant footsteps and the occasional call to prayer. The city transforms from a museum into a dream.

No vendors shouting, no tours — just silence, moonlight, and the sound of your own steps on ancient stone. You can sit by the Juma Mosque courtyard, watch shadows dance across wooden pillars, or climb the city wall to see the skyline lit like a lantern festival 🏮. It’s pure magic — calm, mysterious, and unforgettable.

Khiva at night isn’t just beautiful — it feels sacred. A Silk Road city frozen in moonlight
