Description:

The definitive travel guide to Uzbekistan – the most detailed guidebook dedicated to Central Asia's most populous country, written for independent travellers.

Uzbekistan is packed with diverse experiences, from the Silk Road cities of Bukhara and Khiva to glorious Islamic architecture. This is a country of medieval tiled tombs at Shah-i-Zinda, the sound and light show at Registan, and the 19th-century palace of Kokand ruler Khudayar Khan. Stroll Bukhara's old town, or shop in Tashkent's Chorsu Bazaar. Beyond the cities, ski the Tian Shan, overnight by the Aral Sea for the saiga antelope, or visit the desert fortresses of Karakalpakstan.

Now in its fully updated fourth edition, Bradt's Uzbekistan remains the definitive practical guide to an increasingly liberal destination. Whether interested in culture, trekking, archaeology, deserts, or the Golden Road to Samarkand, Bradt shows you how.

What makes this guide indispensable:

Expert local knowledge - written by Sophie Ibbotson, Uzbekistan's Tourism Ambassador to the UK
More detail than any other guidebook – first-hand descriptions from UNESCO sites to camel treks and cooking plov (lamb pilaf)
Fully updated – this new edition reflects recent investment in tourism infrastructure and provides more detailed economic and political insights
Entirely new coverage – Amirsoy resort, Zarafshan nature reserve, Lower Amudarya Biosphere Reserve, Shirin ecovillage, plus extended coverage of Tashkent hotels, museums and shopping and new hotels in Khiva

About the Author

Sophie Ibbotson (maximumexposure.co) read Oriental Studies at Clare College, Cambridge, and has a particular interest in Central Asia and Afghanistan, where she has worked since 2008 when her auto-rickshaw got snowed in en route from India to London. Overwintering unexpectedly, she fell in love with the region and became excited by the opportunities it offered. She has travelled extensively in Uzbekistan and is the country’s Tourism Ambassador to the UK. An experienced travel writer, Ibbotson has authored or co-authored six Bradt guides, including three others to Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Karakalpakstan), and has written for The Financial Times, The Economist and The Telegraph. Ibbotson is the founder of Maximum Exposure Ltd (which provides tourism and culture consultancy, and PR services), the co-founder and managing editor of Panorama: The Journal of Intelligent Travel, a consultant for the World Bank, and a council member of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs.

Aidan McMahon (aidanmcmahon.com) studied History and Hispanic Studies at Trinity College Dublin before living in Spain, Poland and, for many years, in Turkey. Here he developed an interest in the Turkic world and its languages (which include Uzbek), prompting him to travel extensively in the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Travelling widely across Uzbekistan has given him a deep fondness for the country and a desire to communicate its attractions for travellers, which has culminated in him updating this new, fourth edition of Bradt’s Uzbekistan. McMahon has also written and contributed to guidebooks covering his native Ireland, Morocco and western Turkey. He complements his writing with travel photography (which can be seen on his website), and additionally has more than a decade of publishing experience, focusing on web content and digital media covering global trade and travel.
