  • In general, tipping is not expected, however, in the larger international hotels in Tashkent and Samarkand western-style tipping is the norm. Tipping guides and drivers is an excellent way to show appreciation of their services
  • The currency of Uzbekistan is the Cym, though dollars are generally much more useful for purchases in hotels or shops
  • To show respect and to avoid any cultural conflict we suggest dressing conservatively in mosques or places associated with saints or nationally revered people
