After all, over the past quarter century in Russia has grown a whole generation who are familiar with the life and miracles of the Eastern countries, including Uzbekistan. Most of our young people have not seen the enchanted old town of Khiva, who has taken refuge behind mud walls, do not travel on tourist trains in the former "capital of the world" - Samarkand, which was and still remains one of the most popular tourist destinations. In Moscow there is a great monument to Hodja Nasreddin, but not everyone knows where Bukhara located so beloved by Nasreddin.

Now - thanks to the efforts of the Uzbek tour operators and your national airlines, these cities with their ancient monuments, modern hotels, an established tourist infrastructure and high-speed trains have become much closer.

In the East they say: "If in your heart the admiration of beauty wakes up, you will gain a good which everybody need". So let the consumers of this product will be a lot of tourists and travelers from Russia.
