The yurt camp has only a few yurts, which we really liked. The yurt has electricity and lights, which we appreciated. The shared bathroom outside was clean. The food was delicious. The family didn't speak much english but thanks to translator apps we could communicate. We also enjoyed the camel ride and lake Aydar is very near.

Everything was perfect, the place, the food and obviously the family the best!

Ruslan, who organized the stay for us, is very helpful in all possible aspects. He organized the transport from Bukhara and the next day to Samarkand for a more then competable price. We were welcomed at his family place in Nurota for a very delicious lunch. Then a driver took us to Alexander the Great’s fortress ruins for a walk, afterwards to their private place at the Aydar lake to swim. Later we arrived at Kyzylkum Desert where we were welcomed to the Yurt camp. We learned how the traditional bread is baked, had a camel ride, admired the landscape and sunset. Afterwards we enjoyed dinner with the family. At the camp fire we could admire the stars. Ruslan is perfectly caring for every aspect of your stay and makes it easy to be able to just enjoy and be fascinated. Everything is very personal and his aim is to meet everyones needs, the tourist ones as well as the host family, drivers, nature. Ruslan speaks very good English, with the family we used a mixture of English, some Russian words and the help of google translate :) A very excptional ecperience!

The staff was really nice, the food was great and plentiful. Lovely setting. Had delicious cold beers in the hot. Nice hikes.
