First, it is important to note that Central Asia has a more flexible approach towards Islam than its neighbors in Pakistan and Afghanistan. However, it should also be remembered that it is technically a Muslim region , and thus an extra dose of caution is recommended at certain locations. Long-sleeved shirts and shorts are fine for both sexes in cities, however should you visit any mosques with active worshippers, everybody should wear trousers that do not go below the knee and tops that cover their shoulders. Women must also wear an asymmetrical head scarf. In this tour, we’re going to remote areas not often visited by tourists. Locals are extremely conservative in their dressing and therefore you’re likely to feel more at ease dressed in conservative clothes too.
