The first thing to say about travelling in Central Asia is that most areas, specifically the towns and cities, are more laid back in their attitude to Islam than their neighbours to the south of Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, it should also be remembered that it is technically an Muslim area, so caution is required in some areas. Although both women and men can wear shorts or T-shirts in cities, they should not wear T-shirts or sleeves that are long. However, anyone visiting active mosques should wear pants that do not go below the knees and tops that cover shoulders. Also, a headscarf is advised for females. The trip takes us to remote places that are not typically frequented by tourists. The people of the area are modest in their dress and you’re likely to feel more comfortable in a conservative dress code too.
