Central Asia is a Muslim region, so it’s crucial to be aware in certain zones. Long shorts and T-shirts are fine for both sexes in the city, but in the case of visiting any mosques active, all visitors should wear pants that fall below the knee and tops that cover shoulders. Also, a headscarf is recommended for women. On this trip, we will be traveling in remote locations which are rarely visited by tourists. Local people wear modest clothing, so it is highly likely that you will feel more comfortable wearing conservative clothing.
