Tourist villages
Living in a tourist village is a great opportunity to see rural life from the inside.

Yurt camps
If you want to join the life and culture of the northern people of Uzbekistan and learn the centuries-old traditions and the way of life of local residents, choose yurt camps.
Traditional Uzbek yurt camps are built in the form of traditional nomadic settlements.
Living in the yurts is absolutely eco-friendly, only natural materials are used in their production, such as wood and felt. Each yurt is designed for about 5 people.
In the yurt camp you will feel yourself on the edge of civilization, transported in time, feel the atmosphere of the Silk road, among the nomads and traders whose caravans once passed through these places.
Usually, tours with accommodation in the yurt camps often include various exotic services: a ride on camels, three meals a day, camping by the fire with folklore performances under an endless starry sky.
In addition, you can walk to the nearest village and get acquainted with the daily life and culture of the local people, or, for example, see an ancient fortress.
Some of the most famous yurt camps in Uzbekistan are: “Aydar”, located 10 kilometers from the Aydarkul Lake, “Safari” camp near the city of Nurata, Yurt camp “Muynak” on the shore of the Aral Sea, “Ayaz-Kala” camp near the settlement of Ayaz-Kala and others.

Wine making in Uzbekistan
Wine production in Uzbekistan has a very deep history. It is believed that the first grapes were brought here 6 thousand years ago. And even then in Central Asia there was a high technology of winemaking and growing grapes.
The famous Venetian traveler of the middle ages, Marco Polo, who traveled through Central Asia, wrote in his diary:
“Samarkand, Bukhara and other wonderful cities are the places decorated with the magnificent gardens and vineyards. I tasted the wine here. This wine was at least a dozen years old, and it amazed with its excellent quality…”
In 1927, a famous winemaker, Professor M. A. Khovrenko, came to Uzbekistan. He was the first in our country to develop technical methods for the production of fine wines, such as” Gulyakandoz”,” Shirin”,” Liqueur Cabernet”,” Aleatiko”,” Uzbekistan “and” Farkhod”, and organized the opening of the first winery for their production.
