Question

We were able to get a local rate with the tour company. The Samarkand and Bukhara tour will be $400 USD per person (inclusive of accommodation in Samarkand and Bukhara, train, local transportation and tour guides). Restaurant meals are not included in this rate but we don't expect meals to exceed $10 - $15 USD per person.

Question

Are there any religious customs or dress codes that I need to be aware of while in Uzbekistan?

Answer

There's no strict religious dress codes in Uzbekistan. The country played a historical role as a key mercantile hub on the Silk Road and so necessarily needed to foster an environment which welcomed traders from all traditions, faiths and religious customs. Today's modern Uzbekistan blends a society of Islamic, Persian, Russian and Central Asian cultures. The only exception is when visiting mosques, where women may be asked to cover their heads in mosques, but generally, visitors can enjoy walking around tourist sites or the city at large without concern for religious garb or customs.

Question

Is it safe in Uzbekistan and are there places to drink??

Answer

You can generally walk around Tashkent at all hours without concern for safety. There's plenty of places to drink as alcohol is available in most restaurants and hotels, despite the country’s Islamic majority. Uzbekistan society at large also has a strong sense of hospitality - locals are mostly curious and enthusiastic about making visitors feel at home. Locals speak Russian, Uzbek and most have a passing knowledge of English. You don't have to tip at restaurants (sometimes restaurants do include a 10% or 20% service charge), but dining out is a lot cheaper than Australia or New York.

Question

How do I get around?

Answer

Download an app called Yandex Go and you can have the option to pay the driver cash. Google Maps and Apple maps also work in the country and you can generally copy and paste addresses you are intending to visit to the Yandex Go app.
