The story
Origins and historical context
Ulli Hovli represents the large courtyard homesteads of rural Khorezm, where walls, rooms and working spaces organised extended household life.
Architecture and use
The visitor complex presents architecture, performance and craft traditions. Its current interpretation includes reconstruction and tourism programming, so it should not be described as an untouched ancient settlement.
Later history and interpretation
It lies outside Khiva and works as a regional cultural stop. Confirm programme times locally rather than promising a performance.
Why it matters
Visit Ulli Hovli to understand a distinct layer of Khiva and Khorezm beyond a checklist of façades.
