Culture Smart, Uzbekistan, The Essential Guide to Customs Culture, Ulko A.
 
   This short guide aims to raise awareness of the complexity of Uzbekistan's culture, to equip you with the knowledge of how to make the most of your visit, and to help you to avoid or handle the occasional difficulty. It sets out to guide you through a spectrum of local subcultures, from the traditional rural Uzbek through a mix of Russian, European, and Soviet cultures to the modern cosmopolitan community.




The Ferghana Valley.
The Ferghana Valley is Uzbekistan’s most densely populated area, home to about one-third of the country’s population. It has four important cities: Ferghana, Andijan, Namangan, and the smaller Kokand, which was the capital of a khanate in the nineteenth century.

Surrounded by mountains, the Ferghana Valley is accessible from the rest of Uzbekistan only via the picturesque Kamchik Pass or by air. The natural entrance to the valley now lies in neighboring Tajikistan. The mountains feed a number of small rivers that flow into the valley, making it the greenest region in the country, with large areas of fertile land.

Culturally, the valley is different from other parts of Uzbekistan, as the majority of its population are Uzbeks, although there are small minorities of Tajiks, Kyrgyz, and Kazakhs living on its fringes. The local Uzbeks often regard themselves as the “true Uzbeks,” as opposed to those in more multiethnic areas, and are more conservative and religious than the rest.
