Silk Road Treasure Tours Featured in Meduza: Celebrating Uzbekistan’s Jewish Heritage and 30 Years of Jewish Heritage Tours

We are deeply honored to be featured in the powerful article by journalist Sasha Slobodov for Meduza’s The Beet — “Back to Bukhara: How Memory, Tourism, and the Diaspora Sustain the Last Vestiges of Uzbekistan’s Jewish Heritage.”

This beautifully written story highlights the enduring legacy of Uzbekistan’s Bukharan Jewish community and how tourism continues to play a vital role in preserving its living heritage.

For over 30 years, Silk Road Treasure Tours has been a pioneer in arranging Jewish Heritage Tours across Uzbekistan and the Silk Road “Stans.” From the sacred synagogues of Bukhara and Samarkand to the mountain valleys of Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, we’ve proudly connected travelers from the U.S., Israel, and around the world to their ancestral roots — keeping history, faith, and culture alive through meaningful, authentic travel experiences.

This feature beautifully captures what we have dedicated our lives to:
preserving memory through heartfelt journeys, where every step tells a story of resilience, faith, and connection.
