An oasis of peace, a land where ancient history and liberal culture converge. Uzbekistan is the oldest land in Central Asia having a twenty-five centuries long history, the country with the arranged specific historical and cultural community different from that of other regions. Lately, tourism interests in Uzbekistan have been noticeably raised and accordingly, the range of travel facilities and services of local tour operators are being increased year by year for attracting more travelers to explore this wonderful place.
Uzbekistan has some of the best preserved Islamic cities in the world. Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva all have great historic centres, with a few almost unbelievably beautiful mosques and Koranic schools. These are cities you cannot miss, if you are at all interested in culture and/or Islam.
Uzbekistan has also part of one of the biggest environmental disasters in the world: Aral lake. This lake is slowly disappearing with unpleasant consequences for the people living around it. It is a very unhealthy climate near the ex-lake. Worst of all is that this is a man-made disaster.
Traveling around Uzbekistan is an adventure filled with fascinating cultural discoveries, history and breathtaking natural beauty. Tourists have the opportunity to travel through living history, not just among remains kept in the confines of a museum, but also experience the silence of the distant past in sites of ancient settlements, temples and tombs - a great place to have rest from impetuous civilization. They still serve as places for religious pilgrimage, as they have for a thousand years. You will always remember tall minarets, grandiose madrassahs and mosques, palaces and mausoleums decorated with incredible ceramic ornaments, noisy and colorful oriental bazaars, interesting legends, warm hospitality and ancient traditions of local inhabitants....
