Faq's
Spring (April to June): The temperatures are comfortable, and the landscapes are lush and green, especially in areas like Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. This season is perfect for outdoor activities and experiencing the beauty of Uzbekistan’s architecture and nature.
Autumn (September to early November): The weather is still warm but not too hot, making it another great time to travel. The harvest season adds a special charm, and you can experience local festivals and events.
Summer (July to August) can be extremely hot, especially in desert areas like Khiva and Bukhara, where temperatures can exceed 40°C (104°F), so it is less comfortable for travel during this time.
Winter (December to February) is cold, particularly in the desert regions, but if you don't mind the chill, this season could offer fewer tourists and a quieter experience.
