The majority of Uzbekistan’s population are ethnic Uzbeks, also known as Turkic groups, but there are significant minorities of Russians. Nearly 90% of the populace is Muslim, but there are Orthodox Christians, Buddhists and Jews living in the nation. As with Central Asians, Uzbeks are famously warm and welcoming. It is commonplace to greet people and ask them questions about their family, health, and personal lives.

Uzbekistan tours let you taste the local cuisine and share some tips with others. The typical meal can include dishes such as palov rice, which is made by mixing rice with onions, carrots and meat, or mutton cooked in a tandir oven. Uzbeks can also relish manti dumplings and various kebabs. You can enjoy your Uzbek food with a cup of traditional green or black tea or drinking yogurt, which is known as ayran. Even though Uzbekistan is a majority Muslim country, it’s also secular, which means that you can drink local wines made in the region.

Uzbekistan is part of the group of Central Asian countries between Asia and the Middle East. Its neighbours are Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. Uzbekistan is a coastal country along the Aral Sea as well as the huge, but relatively shallow lake Sarygamysh. Around 80% of the country’s surface is covered by the Kyzyl Kum, also known as the red sand desert. There is only a small area of fertile land located in the Fergana Valley. Uzbekistan’s mountains comprise the Tian Shan Range in the south of the country.

The bazaars of Uzbekistan are an ideal destination for buyers. Shopping here isn’t just an opportunity to enjoy life, but also a great time. The markets in Tashkent, particularly the Chorsu Bazaar are great places to shop for bargains. You can find soviet souvenirs such as stamps, portraits by Lenin military uniforms, and caps. Other souvenirs from the region include light and intricately patterned pottery, colorful rugs and clothes as well as jewellery made from traditional silver. The Bukhara bazaar is among one of the most beautiful, with its abundance of fresh food and smiling people.
