Halal Travel to Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan for centuries was one of the largest centers of the Islamic world - the best scientists, Sufis, Hadith scholars (muhaddis) and architects lived and worked here. After themselves, they left a huge legacy, and their burial places became sacred, and are annually visited by Muslims from all over the world. Many travel agencies organize special halal trips to Uzbekistan, including visits to religious monuments in Samarkand, Bukhara, and other cities.

Famous scientists who once practiced science in Uzbekistan include Al-Khwarizmi (the father of algebra), Al-Biruni, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Mirzo Ulugbek, Al-Maturidi, Al-Fergani, and Al-Farabi. Such Sufis as Abdulkhalik Gijduvani, Khoja Arif Revgari, Mahmud Injir Fagnavi, Ali Ramitani, Baba as-Samasi, Sayyid Amir Kulal, and Bahauddin Naqshbandi preached here. The most famous Hadith scholars of Uzbekistan are Imam al-Bukhari (Samarkand city) and Hakim at-Tirmizi (Termez city).

Islam is practiced by 93% of the population of Uzbekistan, and thanks to this, it is easy to find restaurants and cafes with halal dishes, as well as stores with halal products. In the whole of Uzbekistan, there are now more than 2,000 functioning mosques, and there are several Islamic higher education institutions. Therefore, Muslim tourists will feel very comfortable during Uzbekistan halal travel.
