1001 Nights

In the city of Khiva, Uzbekistan, is a hotel that will transport you 10 centuries ago back to the world of Scheherazade. Made into an hotel from an old Medressa (koranic shool), its mosaic-covered arches under the stars will make you feel like you're in one of these 1001 stories.

Hotel Khiva

Khiva also happens to be one of the most beautiful cities I've been to. The old city center feels just like Agrabah in Disney's Aladdin :-)
