Etiquette in Uzbekistan

Hospitality has a long history of tradition in Uzbekistan where the guests are treated with utmost courtesy and given best possible treatment from the Host. Being proud of this tradition we are recommend you to follow some rules bellow: You can greet a man shaking his hand but woman, would be enough if you just make a light bending forward of the head. Better not to get inside the Uzbek’s house with shoes but if the owner makes it you should follow his step. It is necessary to take off your shoes when you are going to enter some specific places like religious. No need to wear special cloth but you should cover some open parts of your body including hands and legs. Ramasan is the special month for Muslim peole. It is a time of act of abstaining from eating. But in spide of this fact all restorans, bars, cafe are working as usual. In some areas the average visitor may appear extremely wealthy to local people. A lavish display of jewellery, bulging handbags and wallets and a neck full of cameras will make you stand out in a crowd. Be discreet, respectful of local culture and traditions and carry the minimum of valuables.
