Uzbekistan has a secular constitution. Most Uzbek people are Muslims. You should respect local traditions, customs, laws and religions at all times and be aware of your actions to ensure that they do not offend other cultures or religious beliefs, especially during the holy month of Ramadan or if you intend to visit religious areas. You should carry your passport with you at all times as this is a legal requirement in Uzbekistan. The police often carry out checks. Possession of drugs is illegal. There is a ban on the sale of alcohol and tobacco to those under 20. Prison sentences can be lengthy. While prison conditions have reportedly improved, reports of widespread hepatitis and tuberculosis and allegations of mistreatment of some prisoners by officials remain a concern. Homosexuality is illegal under Uzbek law and is still very much frowned upon socially. You should take care over public displays of affection. Any form of photography can upset the authorities, particularly photographs of government buildings including the Palace of Forums in Tashkent and sometimes in local bazaars not normally visited by tourists. While restrictions have been relaxed recently, you should check before using a camera, especially near airports, border checkpoints, military barracks, bridges, police stations and metro stations. Unauthorised import and use of drones in Uzbekistan will attract fines, detention and confiscation of equipment. Licenses to import drones must be obtained prior to arrival.

Travel scams

Always use common sense when you're traveling in an unfamiliar country. Scams are not unheard of here.

One common scam (not exclusive to Uzbekistan) involves a stranger coming up to the victim and saying they have found cash lying on the street. They will then try to enlist you in a complicated scheme that will result in you 'splitting' the cash – of course only after you have put up some of your own.

The entire scenario is ludicrous, but apparently enough greedy foreigners fall for it that it continues. You wouldn't fall for this kind of thing at home – why would you overseas?

In the same vein, be cautious of locals you don't know who offer to show you the nightlife.

Unstable security

Areas bordering Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan - Avoid non-essential travel

Terrorism

There is a threat of terrorism. This threat is amplified by Daesh fighters returning from the Middle East. Local security forces occasionally conduct operations to counter these threats, leading to sporadic violence.

Street Crime

Foreigners may be targets of violent crime and have been robbed by individuals posing as police officers. If approached, ask to see police credentials or offer to go to the police station.

Street crime is more frequent after dark in urban centres. Don't travel alone after dark and Don't show signs of affluence. Ensure that your personal belongings, including your passport and other travel documents, are secure at all times.

International Driving Permit 1968 is required.

• The most common religion in Uzbekistan is Islam.
• Don't forget to dress conservatively when visiting religious places.
• Don't eat, drink, smoke or chew chewing gum in public during the holy month of Ramadan.
• Don't show off with expensive clothes or jewellery in public - keep a low profile to avoid unwanted attention.
• Don't photograph military and security installations - it’s prohibited.
• Don't give public speeches or engage in other public events without permission if you're a foreigner.
• Don't be shy to negotiate and bargain a bit on markets - it's expected.

• Don't expect foggy or dusty views over the capital Tashkent- it's one of the only cities in the world where view of night sky is unimpeded, mostly because of Tashkent's low concentration of gas.
