The first thing to say about traveling in Central Asia is that most regions, including the towns and cities, are more laid back in their attitude to Islam than their neighboring areas to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is an Muslim area , and it’s essential to be careful in specific regions. T-shirts and shorts that are long are acceptable for males and females in cities, however in the case of visiting any mosques active, everyone should wear trousers which are shorter than the knee, and tops that cover shoulders. A headscarf is also suggested for women. The tour takes us to remote places that are not normally visited by tourists. Locals are extremely modest in their attire and therefore you’re likely to feel more at ease dressed in conservative clothes too.
