Religious and Pilgrimage 
Tourism 
Located at the crossroads of several religions, 
Uzbekistan is rich in religious sights and 
monuments. The most ancient destinations 
were created when Zoroastrianism and 
Buddhism were the dominant religions of the 
area. Termez was a Buddhist centre, though 
many of the stupas and monasteries are now in 
ruins. The Zoroastrian monuments of ancient 
Khorezm have lost little of their power and 
presence despite centuries of disuse. But ever 
since the arrival of Islam in Central Asia, the 
region has been home to leading scholars and 
religious thinkers. Several of our tours visit the mausoleums of these great figures, including 
Bahauddin Naqshbandi, founder of a famous Sufi order, and Imam al-Bukhari, who collected 
numerous hadith. No less notable are the many mosques and madrassahs that supported 
spiritual life in Uzbekistan and can be found in any city. Make sure to visit Tashkent’s Khast
-
Imam Complex to see one of the oldest Qurans in the world which, according to legend, was the 
Quran that the Caliph Othman was reading when he was killed. 
Health and Spa Tourism 
Sanatoria are a great way to 
have a relaxing vacation. Many 
sanatoria in Uzbekistan are built 
near natural springs, whose 
waters are known to ease the 
symptoms of various respiratory, 
renal, circulatory and other 
medical conditions. Other spa 
services, including various 
mineral baths, spa treatments 
and relaxing massages, are also 
offered on location. Some of the 
most popular health resorts are 
in the mountains near Tashkent, where mineral springs and clean air abound. Read more about
