Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan travel is an exploration of dreamy medieval landscapes accentuated by minarets that pierce the desert sky. Local pilgrims arrayed in dazzling sequined robes whose kaleidoscopic colors are as vibrant as the people themselves. Aromatic scents that combine with the melodic banter of a thriving bazaar, welcoming you to a country both foreign and inviting, adventurous yet comfortable.
This Silk Road destination has been making history for thousands of years – decrepit Buddhist stupas and Zoroastrian shrines speak of its antiquity, while jaw-dropping vestiges of palaces and mosques make it easy to believe how these medieval kingdoms spawned stories of fantasy and lore.
Perhaps Uzbekistan has already captured your imagination and you’re simply looking for practical details on how to prepare for your upcoming trip, in which case we encourage you to check out Uzbekistan Trip Planner.

PALOV (OSH)
Pilaf is a national dish of Uzbekistan that is cooked from rice, carrot and meat. Depending on the region of Uzbekistan such components as peas, garlic, barberries, quince, dried apricots and raisins are added to this delicious Uzbek national dish. Traditionally Uzbek pilaf is served hot on a large dish. Pilaf is washed down with tea, eaten with salads. Sometimes pilaf is eaten with patyr (type of Uzbek bread). But such eating is for rare eater.The main difference from other pilaf dishes is not the composition of the products but the technology of preparation. Depending on the method of preparation, pilaf is always different, but equally delicious.
