Travel and transport agencies Urgench

Night trains run from Tashkent-Ourgentch and vice versa every night of the week. Departures from Tashkent at 8.15 p.m., arrival in Urshentch the next day at 2 p.m. In the opposite direction, departing from Urshentch at 3 pm, arriving in Tashkent the next morning at 8.10 am. The train stops at Bukhara and Samarkand. A comfortable but still a bit long way to cross the Kyzyl Kum desert. Plan for some supplies, but street vendors come by regularly.

Many minibuses or shared cabs to Bukhara. Shared cabs cost a minimum of US$30, but it is not surprising that on some days the fare is US$50, US$60 or US$70, since the occupancy rate and the tourist season affect the fare. The duration of the journey has been significantly reduced in recent years. The road to Noukous is very passable. It takes about 2.5 hours to get there. Numerous departures throughout the day.

Ourgentch airport welcomes the A 310 in direct flight from Paris during the tourist season (the Friday evening flight, which lands at Ourgentch on Saturday morning). Connections with all other airports in the country, but also with neighbouring countries as well as Russia and China. For tourists, the most interesting connections are those with Tashkent (up to three rotations a day). Count around 100 US$ for a trip to Tashkent and 65 US$ for Bukhara.
