The best time to visit Uzbekistan is generally in spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October).
The Uzbek currency is called the Som (UZS). There are few ATMs in Uzbekistan and even then, most do not accept any card other than Visa. Stores and restaurants typically do not accept credit cards. We recommend you bring all the money in cash.
The official language is Uzbek, but the main part of the population can speak Russian. In some areas (Samarkand, Bukhara) people also speak Tadjik. English is getting popular among young people.
The guest house is a house run by local people who live on the same premises. It’s similar to a hostel, bed, and breakfast, or inn. The guest house is a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging. A national house is a house where local people live and receive visitors for lunch and dinners. You can order a dish from local national cuisine and feel yourself like home there. Accommodation is usually not provided in national houses.
Foreign citizens can become subscribers of any cellular company operating in Uzbekistan, in case if they have a temporary residence permit or a registration in the hotel.
We provide free tourist sim cards.
To enter Uzbekistan or transit through its territory, a visa is generally required. However, a visa-free entry regime applies to citizens of certain countries.
The trip was organized perfectly with high quality of service. The guide was so was knowledgable that told me the whole history of the region with beautiful stories and legends.
