First, it is important to note that Central Asia has a more open-minded attitude towards Islam than its neighboring countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan. But it is important to be remembered that it is technically considered to be a Muslim region and some caution is required in certain places. Long shorts and T-shirts can be worn by both genders in the city, but when visiting mosques that are active, all visitors should wear pants which are shorter than the knee, and tops that cover shoulders.
