At the heart of Uzbek culture is its wonderful hospitality , renowned for centuries. From the days when Uzbekistan stood at the crossroads of the Great Silk Road its grand cities hosted thousands of road-weary tradesmen who sought refuge from the desert and the perils of the open road. These caravans would stay for days at a time, enjoying the gracious generosity that has remained a living tradition to the present day.
Hospitality is one of Uzbekistan's features. Hospitality in Uzbek families is appreciated higher than the wealth of a table and prosperity of the family. Not to receive a guest means to disgrace the family, kin and makhalla. In Uzbekistan not everything is used to be measured with money, and as a result, you unexpectedly find yourself in the atmosphere of those forgotten values that have always been important and universal in all times!
