Airport pickups at Urgench International Airport, with onward transfers to Khiva or Nukus.

Getting to and around Urgench
Urgench is mainly a transit point: its airport (UGC) is the closest one to Khiva, about 30–35 minutes away by car, and most travellers only stay long enough to transfer straight through. We track incoming flights and have a driver ready at arrivals so you're not left waiting in the terminal.
If your route continues north, Urgench is also a common stopover before heading toward Nukus and the Aral Sea region, so we can arrange a single private transfer that covers the airport pickup and the onward leg in one booking.
Nearest airport: Urgench International Airport (UGC).
