I want to leave a review here for tourists on the so-called general ticket to all the museums of Khiva. Since we ourselves could not find any clear information anywhere in advance, I hope this review will help someone. Now a single ticket costs 200,000 soums per person (trip in April 2024). There is a discount for children. I am attaching a flyer, which places are included in this amount. Here, think carefully about whether to take a single ticket. It makes sense if you really like museums, go and look at all sorts of things in the windows. Because in all these madrassas, museums were made from the list. The Museum of Medicine, the Museum of Nature, etc. At the same time, in most of them you will not see any detailed information about the exhibits, just the name and a maximum of a century, then figure it out for yourself. We were very bored. You can look at the madrassas themselves from the outside without buying a ticket, there is nothing special inside. The problem is that you can't get to really interesting places like the Juma Mosque without this single ticket, alas. There is no separate entrance ticket. That's partly why we decided to buy it anyway. In our opinion, the really worthwhile places from the list: Juma Mosque, Kunya Ark Fortress, Tashkhauli Palace, Islam Khoja Madrasah, Museum of the history of sericulture (bomb! but you can go there without a single ticket, as far as we understand, admission is free, this is a private museum, you did not ask for a ticket).
Now a little bit about the rules. Turnstiles did not work anywhere for scanning the qr code, we just looked at the ticket, somewhere they generally ignored it, somewhere they wrote something on the ticket itself. Where nothing was marked, it was possible to pass, it turns out, any number of times. The brochure says 24 hours, in fact it is valid for 2 days. It is generally unclear about the entrance to the old city. It seems that the turnstiles are standing (not working), they let everyone through like that, although it seems like someone is sitting there and supposedly watching this. It's a complete mess :)) in any case, if you live in the old town, the passage is free, although we didn't even ask for a reservation.
