One thing to remember about travel in Central Asia is that most areas, specifically the cities and towns, are more laid back in their attitude to Islam than their neighbors to the south of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Central Asia is an Muslim zone, therefore it is important to be cautious when visiting certain areas. T-shirts and long shorts are fine for both sexes in the city, but if visiting any active mosques people should wear trousers which are shorter than the knee, and tops that cover shoulders. The use of a head scarf is advised for females. This trip takes us on remote places that are not usually frequented by tourists. The local people are very modest when it comes to their clothes and thus you’re likely to feel more at ease with your dress.
