HIGH-SPEED RAIL · UP TO 250 KM/H

Afrosiyob High-Speed Train

The Afrosiyob is Uzbekistan's flagship high-speed train and the fastest way to travel along the Silk Road. Running up to 250 km/h, it connects Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara with several daily departures, turning long road journeys into short, comfortable rides.

Travelers choose Afrosiyob for its modern air-conditioned carriages, reserved seating, on-board service and reliable punctuality. Tickets for the Tashkent–Samarkand train sell out quickly in high season — Dunya Travel secures your Afrosiyob tickets in advance and arranges synchronized transfers at both stations.

The Sharq train is Uzbekistan Railway's comfortable intercity service connecting Tashkent with Samarkand, Bukhara and the Fergana Valley.

Sharq reaches destinations the high-speed line doesn't, making it ideal for travelers heading to regional cities or wanting an economical option on the Tashkent–Samarkand–Bukhara corridor. Dunya Travel books your Sharq tickets and connects every leg with private transfers.

TRANSPORTATION GUIDE

Uzbekistan Transportation Guide

Wondering about the best way to travel in Uzbekistan? For the main Silk Road corridor — Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara — the Afrosiyob high-speed train is the quickest option, while the comfortable Sharq train is an excellent, more affordable alternative with a wider network of stops. For Khiva and remote regions, a domestic flight or a private car transfer works best.

As a licensed DMC, Dunya Travel combines trains, private drivers and transfers into one seamless journey. We handle airport transfers, intercity routes, mountain trips to Chimgan and Amirsoy, the Fergana Valley over the Kamchik Pass, and cross-border logistics — all with professional multilingual drivers.

Use the distance and travel-time table below to compare routes by car, Afrosiyob and Sharq, then let us build the most efficient combination around your itinerary, group size and dates.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common Questions About Transport in Uzbekistan

How long is the train from Tashkent to Samarkand?
The Afrosiyob high-speed train covers Tashkent to Samarkand in about 2 hours 10 minutes at up to 250 km/h. The comfortable Sharq train takes around 3 hours 30 minutes, while a private car takes 4–5 hours.
What is the fastest way to travel in Uzbekistan?
For the Tashkent–Samarkand–Bukhara corridor, the Afrosiyob high-speed train is the fastest option, while the comfortable Sharq train is an excellent, more affordable alternative — the right choice depends on your schedule and preference. For Khiva and remote regions, a domestic flight or a private transfer is usually best.
Is the Afrosiyob train worth it?
Yes. Afrosiyob is modern, fast, air-conditioned and punctual — an excellent choice on the Silk Road route, alongside the comfortable and more affordable Sharq train. We recommend booking tickets in advance, as seats sell out quickly in high season.
How can I book train tickets in Uzbekistan?
Dunya Travel books Afrosiyob and Sharq tickets for you and coordinates connecting transfers at both stations — so you never have to deal with the railway system or language barriers yourself.
Is there a train to Khiva?
There is an overnight train to Khiva (via Urgench), but most travelers prefer a domestic flight to Urgench or a private car transfer. We arrange whichever option best fits your schedule.
How far is Bukhara from Samarkand?
Samarkand to Bukhara is about 280 km. The Afrosiyob covers it in roughly 1 hour 40 minutes, the Sharq in about 2h 30m, and a private car takes around 4 hours.
How long is Tashkent to Bukhara by train?
The direct Afrosiyob from Tashkent to Bukhara takes about 3 hours 50 minutes (around 600 km). The Sharq train covers the same route in roughly 6 hours.
Can Dunya Travel arrange private transfers?
Yes. We provide private drivers and vehicles — from sedans to minibuses and full-size coaches — for airport transfers, city tours and intercity routes anywhere in Uzbekistan.
Are airport transfers available?
Yes, 24/7. We offer meet-and-greet airport transfers in Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Urgench and other airports with professional, multilingual drivers.
What is the best way to reach the Fergana Valley?
The Fergana Valley is reached by road over the scenic Kamchik Pass (about 5 hours) or by the Sharq train. We arrange comfortable private transfers either way.
Can I travel to the mountains (Chimgan & Amirsoy)?
Yes. Chimgan and the Amirsoy resort are about 1.5–2 hours from Tashkent by car. We offer day-trip and seasonal transfers, including 4x4 vehicles in winter.
Do you provide VIP and corporate transport?
Yes. We offer luxury sedans and SUVs with executive chauffeurs, airport protocol and 24/7 availability for VIP guests, delegations and corporate clients.
How much does transportation in Uzbekistan cost?
Prices depend on the route, vehicle and group size. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees — send us your itinerary and we'll prepare a tailored quote.
Can I combine train and private car in one trip?
Absolutely. Most clients take Afrosiyob between major cities and use our private transfers for airports, day trips and regions without rail service. We coordinate the entire journey.
How do I travel from Samarkand to Shahrisabz?
The easiest way is a private car from Samarkand via the mountain pass. We usually plan about 90 km and 1.5–2 hours each way, with guide time at Ak-Saray, Dorut Tilavat and Kok Gumbaz.
Do you provide child seats and luggage space?
Yes. We can provide child seats on request, and our vans and coaches have ample luggage capacity for multi-day tours — just let us know your needs when booking.
