Where is Uzbekistan located?

Uzbekistan is located in the Central Asia. Uzbekistan is the most populated country among all the other Central Asian Republics. Today Uzbekistan with its numerous ancient monuments, rich culture, history & nature is the most popular tourist destination than the other countries in region. Uzbekistan is located on the crossroads of Great Silk Road therefore hospitality became a nature of Uzbek people. You can enter any house without invitation and always get warm welcome; this sort of hospitality is rather not available in other parts of the world. Although the country is developing and becoming more modern but people strictly follow their traditions, greet each other with “Assalomu Alaykum” (God bless you!),host any stranger a cup of tea with dry fruits by saying “Welcome”.
