Discover Uzbekistan

What do you know about Central Asia? Nomad cultures? Ancient civilizations? Handicraft production? Music, different from classic standards?

Oriental beauties and sages-philosophers? A thousand of times “Yes”! But these are only isolated features of the whole. An old legend tells about

three sages; blindfolded they were coming up turn by turn to an elephant - the unknown animal for them. The first sage touched a trunk, the

second one - a leg, and the third one - a tail. Eventually, each of them gave different descriptions, which had no resemblance to the description of

the elephant. That is why, whatever you could hear, read, or watch about Uzbekistan, you will not get a full idea about this mysterious country. It

is far better to see everything with your own eyes, isn’t it? Let’s go then, let’s see and experience it all. The ancient cities adorned with mosques,

minarets and bazaars, the quiet streets full of hot sun or piercing night cool, the contrast between the deserts and these oases. The imperceptible

aura of the intuitiveness and meditativeness of the Oriental culture!
