Tashkent - is the capital of sovereign Uzbekistan. In the present Tashkent is one of the most important business centers of Central Asia. Present-day Tashkent is one of the most attractive Oriental cities. The architecture of Tashkent is unique, hospitality and friendliness of Tashkent people is amazing. Tashkent is about 2000 years old. It has passed the way from the small ancient settlement to the one of the biggest Asian cities. A lot of memorable events of peace and war took place Luring the history of Tashkent ful of periods of rise and decline. Contemporary Tashkent is a political, cultural, scientific and industrial center of Uzbekistan. Samarqand - is situated in Zerafshan Valley and surrounded by the spurs of Pamir-Alay ridges. Ancient Samarqand was well known both in the East and in the West. In the 4thc. BC Samarqand, then called Marakanda, was one of the centers of culture and trade in the East. Samarqand equals such cradles of human civilizations as Athens, Rome, Memphis, Alexandria..

10 Bukhara - As mentioned in the holy Avesta book Bukhara is one of the most ancient Uzbek towns built on the sacred hill of spring time offerings put by Zoroastrians. The name "Bukhara" is derived from the Sanskrit word "vihara" denoting "temple, cloister". In the course of centuries the town had the names Numizhkat, Madinat-us-Suphia, Madinat-ut-Tudjar, Fakhira. Khiva - History of Khorezm dates so long back to ancient times that only few civilizations can equal its age. Many hundreds years before opening the Great Silk Road the ancient Khorezm was already connected by water and land with Europe and the East, Siberia and the civilizations of the South. The great world civilizations of the time merged in Khorezm. Their cultural interaction preceded the opening of the Great Silk Road. Khiva is placed in the west of Khorezm region, at the height of 100 m above sea level, near boundless Kyzylkum Desert. Khiva seems to have been materialized from a tale. It has kept an exotic character of ancient place, untouched by the time till the present days. There are palaces with the rich mosaic, unique beautiful minarets, madrassehs and mosques there.

19 Unlike its nomadic neighbors, Uzbeks had a settled civilization for generations and, as such, developed a particularly distinctive cuisine. Between the deserts and mountains, in the oasis and fertile valleys, they cultivated grain and domesticated livestock and the resulting abundance of products allowed the Uzbeks to express their strong tradition of hospitality, which in turn enriched their cuisine. The seasons, specifically winter and summer, greatly influence the composition of the basic menu. In the summer, fruits, such as grapes, melons, watermelons, apricots, pears, apples, cherries, pomegranates, lemons, persimmons, quinces and figs, grow in abundance as do vegetables including some lesser known species such as green radishes, yellow carrots, dozens of varieties of pumpkin and squash, in addition to the more common eggplants, peppers, turnips, cucumbers and tomatoes. Uzbek dishes are not notably spicy, though certainly full of flavour. Some of the principle spices used are black cumin, red and black peppers, barberries, coriander, and sesame seeds. The more common herbs are fresh coriander, dill, parsley, celeriac, and basil. Central Asia has a reputation for the richness and delicacy of its fermented dairy products. The most predominant - katyk, or yogurt made from sour milk, and suzma, strained clotted milk similar to cottage cheese, are eaten plain, in salads, or added to soups and main products, resulting in a unique and delicious flavor. Palov or Osh, is the staple of Uzbek diet. It consists mainly of fried and boiled meat, onions, carrots and rice, with raisins, barberries, chickpeas, or fruit added for variation. Uzbek men pride themselves on their ability to prepare the most unique and sumptuous plov. The osh-paz, or master chef, often cooks plov over an open flame, sometimes serving up to 1000 people from a single cauldron on holidays or occasions such as weddings. Tea is revered in the finest oriental traditions. It is offered to every guest and there exists a whole subset of mores surrounding the preparation, offering and consuming of tea. Green tea is the drink of hospitality and is predominant in the country. Black tea is preferred in Tashkent, though both teas are seldom taken with milk or sugar. An entire portion of Uzbek cuisine is dedicated solely to tea drinking. Some of these include samsa, bread, halva, and various fried foods.
