How far is Urgench Airport from the city?
UGC sits about 4 km southeast of central Urgench. Taxis cover the route in roughly 10 minutes, and most travellers continue directly on to Khiva rather than staying in Urgench itself. There is no rail link to the terminal, so road transfer is the only option.
