The Silk Road: Get on The Beaten Track

The movement of people, commodities, culture – and, yes, silk – along the Silk Road is one of the oldest connections between East and West. The interest in fabrics, spices and animals from far off lands held an intrigue that quickly made the Silk Road an essential intercultural connection of its time.

Building a Global Economy

The Silk Road a network of pathways that criss-cross Central Asia; from China, through the Middle East, to Italy and onward to Europe. As trade routes picked up during the Middle Ages, the paths became more frequently travelled. The increased traffic attracted local merchants, markets, and inns to the Silk Road path; in turn, creating settlements.

Even more important than the physical landscape that the Silk Road created were the cultures, customs, and languages that it helped fortify. Civilizations began to meet, and interactions with other languages developed, ushering in an opportunity for the separate civilisations of the world to meet through the global economy.

Today, many of these sites and cultures prevail, paving the way of the Silk Road, and outlining the path once followed by merchants and explorers.

Our reviews

Heath Marcus

USA - Paris Summer Games 2024

Booked our trip to the Paris 2024 Olympics with World of Discoveries and have been exceptionally pleased with the experience and customer service. WOD created a a customized pre-trip excursion to Normandy for tours of the D-Day Beaches and Mont St Michel, as well as a week-long stay in Paris for the games, and drivers/transportation arranged for all our transfers. When our original hotel was bought out by one of the Olympics delegations, WOD seamlessly booked us at another (upgraded) location with no issues. Communication was easy and effective by email, and our in-country representatives during the games were proactively in touch regarding transfer information or to help answer questions. I had not used WOD prior to this experience, but will definitely do so for our next big adventure!

USA - World Cup 2022

Do not hesitate to book, World of Discoveries comes through! This was my very first time using a travel agency to book any sort of trip. And this being not just any ordinary trip, but a World Cup experience, I was a bit hesitant. Many doubts on my mind. Would they come through with the match tickets, airline tickets, transfers, booking of hotels, will there someone there available for the hotel transfers or just to answer a question I have at anytime during the trip? World of Discoveries came through like CHAMPS! All my airline tickets, match tickets and hotel reservations were taken care of. There was always someone at the airport or hotel ready to greet me for transfers. There was always more than one person available via telephone or a text message away. They really did an excellent job at organizing everything. It was a worry-free experience with them. Special shout-out to Irena who was our manager based in Dubai. She always made sure we were taken care of and even hosted special events for us. I am glad I chose them for my World Cup experience and would not hesitate to use them again. Excellent service!

Mexico - Abu Dhabi F1

The Formula 1 trip to Abu Dhabi with Wofdi was an amazing experience! Everything was perfectly planned, making the whole weekend stress-free and exciting. The Yas Marina Circuit looked incredible, and watching the race at sunset was really special. The atmosphere was electric, with fans from all over the world cheering for their favorite teams. One of the best parts was the pit lane walk, where we got to see the cars up close and watch the teams work. Wofdi made sure we had great access and an unforgettable experience. We also did a tour of the circuit, visiting the control room and even standing on the winner’s podium! Absolutely loved the time we spent in Abu Dhabi .From start to finish, Wofdi made this trip unforgettable. If you’re an F1 fan and want a hassle-free, VIP-style experience, I highly recommend booking with them!

We had an amazing experience in New Zealand! Everything is tailored to what we want and like! After a short conversation Varya knew exactly what to offer! We saved so much time and money booking with her, instead of trying to look ourselves and then getting disappointed. cannot recommend enough. Will be back
