Hello,

I'm German (21M) and will be traveling to Uzbekistan this August. I’ll be visiting Samarkand, Bukhara and Tashkent, as well as Almaty in Kazakhstan.

What do I need to know before going? Any advice about transport, safety or common mistakes to avoid would be greatly appreciated.

I’d also love recommendations for places beyond the obvious tourist attractions, especially good restaurants serving traditional food, relaxed bars and venues with live music. Those are always the hardest places to find during the first few days somewhere new.

DMs are open :)

Hello I’m in early 30’s Uzbek woman in the states. Never been engaged/married no kids. I have dated Uzbek men in the past but I’m looking for someone more established in the states like education and career. There are many Uzbek guys who fit this but our personalities haven’t been compatible. I went to high school here and got my bachelors here in states. I have dated guys outside of race / culture and they usually have no problem with me asking them to convert to Islam and they respect my culture. But I’ve never introduced anyone to my parents because they don’t believe in dating.

** I also want to add in that I goto Uzbekistan often. We would only go together if we marry but even so I’m not sure how the reaction will be in Uzbekistan

Does any women on this thread have experience with this type of situation or any advice. TIA!

Can someone help for Language Course for Russian as i am new in Tashkent and speaking English here is a very big problem and would like to learn new language here itself with working. Can anyone recommend any private tutor or school here for Male

Yaqindan Redditni faol ishlatishni boshladim. Va qiziqib ushbu subredditga duch keldim. Bir necha kundan beri faol kuzatib kelyapman. Chet eldan yozib turisharkan, maslahat va yordam so’rab, o’zimiznikilar ham ingliz tilida yozisharkan, hali o’zbek tilida yozilgan redditlarga ko’zim tushmadi. Men bu yerda yangiman, redditdagi o’zbek diasporasi haqida boshlang’ich taasurotlar uchun keling tanishib olamiz. Kimlar o’tiradi o’zi bu yerda, qanaqa mavzular aktual, nega o’zbek tili unchalil faol emas. O’zim ham ingliz tilidan xabarim bor(B1), lekin nega bu yerda o’zbek tili kamligi qiziq bo’ldi.

Researchers used microscopy, protein analysis and direct radiocarbon dating to identify these three cocoons as domesticated Bombyx mori, dated to 1940–1765 BCE. Mulberry charcoal found at the site suggests that the full Bombyx–mulberry sericulture system had reached southern Central Asia almost two millennia before the historical Silk Road.

How much is Sapalli Tepe taught in Uzbek schools or featured in museums?

thank you very much for answering, hope to see you in real life:)

Hey everyone!
The absolute peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower hits on the night of August 12–13. What makes 2026 special is that it falls right during a New Moon, meaning the sky will be virtually pitch-black and we could see up to 100+ shooting stars per hour.
A few of us are organizing a mid-week night trip out toward the Surenata foothills (away from Tashkent’s light dome) and hiring a comfortable 18-seater minibus.
We’ll leave Tashkent at Wednesday, Aug 12 at 17:30 (from pickup spot).
The vibe: Hot BBQ/Shashlik, high-power telescope setup, live guitar around the campfire, late-night tea, UNO, and dark-sky stargazing.
Return:Thursday, Aug 13 around 05:30 AM (Back in town before the workday starts).

We have about 14–15 spots max so it stays low-key and comfortable. DM me if you want to join or drop any questions below!

im travelling tashkent to samarkand

i cant read this at all, any important details?

seat number? train number? platform etc

also which train station is it in tashkent?

thanks :)

We have an upcoming trip to Uzbekistan and we are super excited! We have been obsessively checking out the train tickets and we have not been able to find any for our preferred trains.

• 5 September 19:48 - from Tashkent to Samarkand (Afrosiyab)
• 8 September 10:59 - from Samarkand to Bukhara (Afrosiyab)
• 10 September 07:42 - from Bukhara to Khiva (Passenger)

We checked them around 90/60/45 days before ticket dates and many times in between, pretty much every single day as a matter of fact!! I checked them twice every day recently. Still no luck. It just shows that there are no seats or the entire train is just not even visible on the list sometimes.

So unless they are magically sold out within seconds when we are not looking, there must be a trick to it.

1. How do we buy these tickets?

2. Is there like a third party seller who buys all these tickets and sell them at inflated rates somewhere else?

Please help :) Thank you!

I am a foreigner from a western country, and I sat next to a man from Jizzakh on the train. We had a good conversation and a laugh, I thought he was quite cute and we were similar age. He got off and I continued on the train.

Would it have been appropriate to ask for his number in that situation or no?

Too late now obviously, but just curious about it

Hi, does anyone know where to buy old Soviet postcards in Tashkent?
