TOURS IN UZBEKISTAN

Uzbekistan is conveniently situated between the great Asian rivers - the Amudarya and Syrdarya. Being compared to European countries, the territory of Uzbekistan is not at all small: it is bigger than that of Italy and approximates the area covered by Spain. The nature of the country represents an amazing variety of landscapes: the coastline of the Aral Sea gives place to the Kyzylkum Desert, the subtropical Surkhandarya oasis is bordered by the Pamirs mountain ridges, the fertile Fergana Valley is shut off by the Tien Shan foothills. After having declared its independence in 1991, Uzbekistan became a full member of the world community. The country is a member of the United Nations and has diplomatic representatives in more than 100 countries.

Tourist Information:

Uzbekistan has a rich history, which goes as far back as the remote ages. According to archeologists, this land is one of the most ancient man's habitats. Within the last 50 years alone there have been found here several sites of a primitive man of Stone Age. The most famous ones are Teshiktash and Amankutan.

The fertile lands, wonderful water supply, warm climate promoted the development of agriculture. The vast non-irrigated parts of deserts and steppes adjoining the agricultural areas served as pastures for cattle breeding. While evolving, the inhabitants of these lands established many-sided relations with their neighbors. Three main factors - geographical, economic and social ones, predetermined the formation on the territory of Transoxiana (the lands between Amudarya and Syrdarya) of such ancient states as Sogdiana, Bactria, Khorezm, Margiana and some others.

Modern Uzbekistan is a young secular state, which is now on the pathway to its renaissance. And one of the vivid evidences of the country's new realities is the revival of the Great Silk Road. However, it is not a recurrence to what the road used to be in the past. Time has changed and speeds have changed too. While in the past a long journey on camels could last a year or longer, today the same distances can be covered by plane in 2-3 hours. The essence of the Silk Road has remained the same though: the road still serves as an international convenient through highway for transportation of people and goods, as a channel which helps peoples and countries get to know each other better.

Ten Tashkent theaters open their doors in the evenings.. One of the theaters is the Alisher Navoiy Theater of Opera and Ballet, which was designed by the academician Tchusev. The theater's repertoire includes operas and ballets by Verdi, Bize, Tchaikovsky, as well as by modern Uzbek composers
