, Some background information: The Tash-Khawli Palace was built as the khan's new residence. The former Kunya Ark palace seemed too cramped and old to Allakuli Khan. Tash-Khawli was supposed to become a symbol of his power, wealth and a new stage in the life of the city. The complex performed several functions: 1. The main residence of the Khan and his family. 2. Venue of official receptions and courts. 3. Harem - private living quarters for the Khan, his wives, children and concubines. 4. Administrative building - office and reception rooms were located here.

There are 2 museums included in the general ticket. Probably the most beautiful museums in Khiva. It's more interesting when they tell you something about the palace or read it in advance) in general, it doesn't really fit in my head how they also put a yurt on the territory of the palace. How did several wives live there at once
