Tours & Activities in Tashkent
Welcome to Tashkent. This eclectic city hosts
Russian-speaking cabbies on broad Soviet-built avenues, old
men wearing long traditional chapans (quilted coats) resting
outside of mud-walled houses, and throngs gathering
together before steaming cauldrons for their daily repast of
plov (a popular ethnic rice pilaf dish). With a visit to the
madrasah of Kukeldash we start our explorations of the
historic monuments of the Uzbek capital. This restored Koran
School was built in the 16th century by the grandson of
Timur, an enlightened despot who loved poetry, and today it
is a high school where Islam is taught. Within walking
distance is the Mausoleum of Kaffal Shashi, that together
with the 16th century Barak Khan Madrasah and the Tilya
Shekh Friday mosque (the largest in the city) is part of the
Khast-Imam complex. Today it is the residence of the Mufti,
a high Islamic scholar. Via one of the few authentic Uzbek
districts we finally go to the Chorsu Bazaar. We begin and end our tour by taking a ride in a jewel of Tashkent architecture, local Metro.
Entrance fees to the museum of Quran is 50.000 so'ms. Metro fare is 2.000 so'ms per person.

Today Tashkent is the modern capital of Uzbekistan, which practically has not preserved ancient landmarks as opposed to Samarkand, Khiva and Bukhara. But it has its own sights. One of them is the Tashkent Metro, the first underground transport in Central Asia.
Construction of the Tashkent metro began two years later after the destructive earthquake in 1966. Also the increase of population in the capital caused to the construction of rapid and comfortable public transport system. First line of metro opened in 1977 in honor of 60th anniversary of the USSR and connected the most populous district Chilanzar with the center of the city
