Khorezm, which is famous for its ancient monuments, has always attracted the attention of tourists.

Over 100 Italians, who have recently arrived here on their charter flight, have had an opportunity to eye the beauty of Urgench and Khiva, as well as learn about its unique monuments, Jahon reported quoting UzA.

"We are leaving your country with tons of impressions," the head of the Italian tourist company Atakama Emilia Chitolini said. "I have been amazed with the tourist-attractive Uzbekistan, its wonderful cities, national customs and traditions. It is true that Khiva is an open-air museum. It is a fairy-tale city".

According to Chitolini, she has also been quite impressed with beautiful minarets, Pakhlavan Makhmud Mausoleum, Juma Mosque, and other monuments in Khiva, created by wit and talent of the Uzbek people’s ancestors, as well as the masterpieces of applied arts.

"I find no words to describe the taste of Khorezm bread, melons and fruits, and I certainly want to come back here," Chitolini said.

"Since the early year more than thirty thousand tourists visited Khorezm," the senior specialist of Uzbektourism National Company Alisher Matyokubov said, "Almost 28,000 of them are the foreigners".
