The oldest cities in the world. Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva, Shakhrisabz are only the most famous cities of the country. They were founded several thousand years ago and preserved the atmosphere of antiquity. There are entire neighborhoods in Bukhara in which nothing has changed since the Middle Ages. Walking along these old streets is an incredible feeling. And in each city luxurious architectural monuments that belong to world-class attractions have been preserved.
Reason number 2. Food. Tasty, simple, but such interesting Uzbek cuisine will be remembered for a long time. Pilaf, badamjan, chuchvara, shurpa, samsa, kebab ... You can list for a long time. And all this is fresh, prepared with a soul and very inexpensive. From June to October, various fruits, berries and vegetables ripen in Uzbekistan. Perhaps there are no such melons, cherries and tomatoes anywhere. You can just come to Uzbekistan, do not go anywhere, but to sit in a teahouse and the tour is already a success!
Reason number 3. People. Such kindness, hospitality and simplicity is less and less in tourist cities. In the Uzbek outback, all this has been preserved. You can just sit at a table in a teahouse or even on a bench in the park and people will come up to you, talk, talk about your life, about sights, about the city. An incredible sense of the value of simple human communication!
Reason number 4. Lack of language and visa barriers. Nevertheless, Uzbekistan has long been a part of the Russian Empire and the Russian trace continues to be felt here. Many speak Russian. There are fewer young people in the outback; in Samarkand and Tashkent, almost everyone speaks Russian. Therefore, you feel almost at home here. And even the locals, first approach me as a European, and then, after hearing the Russian language, immediately begin to relate as yours. Russians there are not considered foreigners. Almost every man begins to tell how he worked in Russia, they know the geography of Siberia quite well, and follow what is happening here. But they do not speak wisely about politics.
Reason number 5. Safety and tourist orientation. The country has set its sights on openness and attractiveness for tourists (mainly European). Therefore, tourists are treated very well, friendly. Everywhere in the cities there are quite a lot of police, everywhere there are frames, checking bags and backpacks and this creates a feeling of security.
