UZBEKISTAN
With a spellbinding collection of ancient cities and forts, Uzbekistan is Central Asia’s biggest crowd puller in terms of attractions.
Bordered by Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, the country is one of the largest Central Asian states. Characterised by their mausoleums, madrassas and mosques boasting intricate Islamic architecture and tiled domes, towering fortresses and thriving bazaars, here you can still witness traditional techniques of silk production which has been used for centuries.
WHERE TO GO
In Uzbekistan, the cities of Samarkand, Khiva and Bukhara possess fabulous mosques, mausoleums, and medressas.

Not to miss, the capital city of Tashkent that boasts of modern and Soviet-era architecture.
