About

Uzbekistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia, known for its rich Silk Road heritage and vibrant culture.

The nation’s capital is Tashkent, while historic cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva showcase stunning Islamic architecture with turquoise domes, intricate mosaics, and towering minarets. Uzbekistan is home to over 35 million people, the majority of whom are ethnic Uzbeks, and the official language is Uzbek, though Russian and other regional languages are also spoken. The country’s geography ranges from deserts like the Kyzylkum to fertile valleys such as the Fergana Valley, making it both agriculturally important and historically strategic. Islam is the dominant religion, shaping much of the cultural identity, while traditional cuisine—especially plov (pilaf)—is central to daily life. Since gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Uzbekistan has developed into a unitary semi-presidential republic under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, balancing modernization with preservation of its ancient heritage. Today, it is one of the most visited countries in Central Asia, offering travelers a blend of history, hospitality, and breathtaking landscapes
