Investment Guide for Khorezm Region
Khorazm province is located in the north-western part of Uzbekistan on the left bank of Amudarya river. Total area constitutes 6.3 thousand square kilometers or 1.4% of total area of Uzbekistan.
borders with the Republic of Karakalpakstan in the north, with Turkmenistan in the south and with Bukhara province in the north-east.
The population of the province amounts to more than 1.5 million. The province is divided in to 10 following administrative districts: Bagat, Gurlen, Koshkupir, Urgench, Khazarsp, Khanka, Khiva, Shavat, Yangiaryk and Yangibazar districts; Urgench city is the administrative center of the province. Khiva and Pitnak are among other big cities.
The climate of the province is sharply continental with fairly dry winter and summer.
Khiva is situated in the west of Khorazm province of Uzbekistan. Kyzyl-Kum Desert starts here. Centuries-old history of Khiva is inseparably linked with history and destiny of Khorazm which was the most ancient civilization center on the territory of Central Asia. Recent archaeological excavations revealed that there are brickworks in the foundation of fortress walls of Khiva; such brickworks are peculiar to Ancient Khorazm. This moves the age of Khiva to the second millennium and the date of its establishment to the origin of Common Era. Khiva was destined to become the khanate capital and main city of the oasis due to alteration of Amudarya river route.
Kiva’s inner city is Ichan-Kala fortress. Khiva stayed within these boundaries in the ÕVI-XVII centuries and was surrounded with powerful clay-made wall which length constituted more than 2 200 meters and height more than 7 meters. There were erected fortified semi-circular towers along the entire perimeter of the walls. A lancet gallery containing embrasures and battlements were located in upper section of the walls. The fortified walls of Ichan-Kala provided strong and reliable protection of Khiva until invasion of the Iranian troops of Nadir-khan in the middle of the ÕVIII century.
At that time, Khiva was conquered and part of its fortification had been destroyed. During Kungrad dynasty, Khiva greatly expanded and, by the XX century, its square was many times greater than Ichan-Kala square.
Russia’s protectorate was established over Khiva Khanate in the 70s of the ÕIÕ century. In 1925, the lands of Khiva Khanate were annexed to the Soviet Union; and Khiva has become a part of Uzbekistan. Khorazm province was established on January 15, 1938.

Khiva is situated in the west of Khorazm province of Uzbekistan. Kyzyl-Kum Desert starts here. Centuries-old history of Khiva is inseparably linked with history and destiny of Khorazm which was the most ancient civilization center on the territory of Central Asia. Recent archaeological excavations revealed that there are brickworks in the foundation of fortress walls of Khiva; such brickworks are peculiar to Ancient Khorazm. This moves the age of Khiva to the second millennium and the date of its establishment to the origin of Common Era. Khiva was destined to become the khanate capital and main city of the oasis due to alteration of Amudarya river route..jpg)
.jpg)

At that time, Khiva was conquered and part of its fortification had been destroyed. During Kungrad dynasty, Khiva greatly expanded and, by the XX century, its square was many times greater than Ichan-Kala square..gif)
