Uzbekistan is a wonderful warm land, which is characterized by a variety of natural areas.
The climate in Uzbekistan is sharply continental. Drought, arid desert areas of our state taught people to appreciate the source of water, each canal and irrigation canal.
This country combines hills and rocky mountains, deserts or steppe plains and beautiful oases, small mountain rivers that are constantly changing direction.
There are few lakes in the republic. The largest of them is the Aral Sea, as it occupies a large territory. Today, Uzbekistan is an interesting country with beautiful landscapes.
Many cities in ancient times were located on the Great Silk Road, on the road between East and West, along which caravans of goods passed. A great environmental disaster was the death of the Aral Sea. This happened because the waters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya were diverted into the canals.
The favorable nature of our region is always glad to meet guests from other countries and other nationalities.
