The ancient city of Termez on the banks of the legendary Oxus River remains a little explored Gem of Uzbekistan.
Once a pivotal transit point for merchants, travellers and missionaries, Termez was the centre for cultural exchange where Greek, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, and Islamic cultures fused. Today, it stands out as one of the few places in Central Asia where travellers can experience a semblance of the Buddhist culture that once prevailed in these regions.
The ancient city is home to numerous historical monuments dating back to the Kushan Kingdom of the 1st century. Sultan Saodat in particular is a remarkable architectural ensemble.
