What Makes Uzbekistan So Alluring?

Uzbekistan is a country that has gone through a multitude of periods and eras throughout its history, as it’s right in the middle of everything. The Uzbeks are a warm and kind-hearted people, and their country has so much to offer to the excited traveler looking for adventure! Let’s check out the best things to see in Uzbekistan! 

Aral Sea 

You’ve heard of ghost towns, but have you seen ghost seas? This used to be the fourth largest lake in the world, until it was mostly drained in the 1960s. Now, it’s a dry, cracked land with deserted lighthouses and boats lining its former shores.  

The Deserts 

Uzbekistan is home to two deserts – the Karakum and the Kyzylkum. Both of these are unique places in their own right, and you can experience them by staying in the many yurts all around. There are about 50 fortresses to visit, so hope you made a list! 

Samarkand 

This city has been in continual existence for over three and a half millennia, so you know there’s going to be all kinds of fun stuff there! It was the capital of various empires and all steppe migrations moved through it. Best sights to see include the Registan Square and the Shah-i-Zinda complex, where you can see some of the best Asian artworks!
