The first thing to say about traveling through Central Asia is that most areas, particularly the towns and cities, have a much more laid-back attitude to Islam than their neighbours to the south in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it is important to be kept in mind that it’s technically a Muslim region , and thus caution must be taken in certain areas. Long-sleeved shirts and shorts can be worn by both genders in cities, however in the case of visiting any mosques active, everybody should wear trousers that are below the knee, and tops that cover their shoulders. Females should also be wearing a headscarf. On this trip, we will be traveling in remote locations which are rarely frequented by tourists.
