Tashkent sights (Uzbekistan, Central Asia).
More information here:
Tashkent, as it befits the capital of Uzbekistan, is grand and diverse.
Tashkent sights are various. Most of the historical and architectural monuments of the city are located in its Old Town area where evident history stays in harmony with modernity. The city's Oriental bazaars, just like centuries ago, attract visitors with the abundance of juicy fruit and vegetables, delightful aroma of hot flat loaves of bread and samsa pasties... The Oriental bazaar is notable for making anyone visiting it never go back without a purchase.
There are always a lot of cultural events taking place in Tashkent. The city has a large number of theatres, museums, restaurants, nightclubs, and hotels. In hot summers you can easily find a cooling place at a fountain, a shelter in one of the many parks or... in Tashkent metro, which is acknowledged one of the most beautiful in the world.
It will take longer than just a day to see all Tashkent sights, so this short film will help you, taking you on an excursion around the city.

Chorsu Bazaar
Bazaar is the heart of every oriental city, the center of public life, breadwinner of the whole city. Since the dawn of time bazaars appeared on the intersections of trade roads, on big squares of cities. They played role of main places of the city, where merchants, traders and common people gathered to discuss important news, to know prices, to have a rest in cozy choykhana (Uzbek café) eating pilaf and drinking green tea. Also bazaars were the places of main entertaining events of the city – theatrical performances.
Tashkent Bazaar Chorsu, the age of which is more than hundred years, also was always located on the main square of the city Eski-Juva. Old bazaar constructions destroyed and went bad, but the traditional architecture remained unchanged – domed large premises. This was the only way to protect oneself from heat and dust in terms of hot and dry Asian climate.The tendency of construction of such bazaars with a complex of covered premises began in XI century and went on up to XIII century. In our century this bazaar inherited land and premises of previous centuries. The modern trade complex is built with a glance of architectural features and traditions of urban development of previous epochs. Today it is the unique complex of trade halls crowned with interrelated blue domes. The central part of bazaar is the main magnificent domed construction, patterned with oriental ornament, with diameter of nearly 300-350 meters. It is the winter three-storey building of bazaar with elevator system. The lowest storey is basement passages with numerous back rooms. Middle and upper floors are the system of shops.On counters of this oriental Bazaar you will find fresh fruits, amber-colored dried fruits, toasted bread (lepeshka), fresh-killed meat, kazy (horse meat sausage), and what not… And all these things are so attractive that one can’t stand to pass by them. Next to bazaar there are choykhonas, where you can taste amber yellow pilaf, fragrant.
UZBEKISTAN: CHORSU, the MOST ICONIC MARKET in CENTRAL ASIA in TASHKENT ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the very iconic Chorsu Bazaar which is the traditional bazaar located in the center of the old town of Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan in Central Asia. Chorsu bazaar is Tashkent’s best-known market and it is impressive both inside and out as we will see in this video. It is topped by a giant blue-green dome and it is a delightful slice of city life spilling into the streets off the Old Town’s southern edge. There are acres of spices arranged in brightly coloured mountains, Volkswagen-sized sacks of grain, entire warehouses dedicated to sweets, and the freshest bread and fruits around. Souvenir hunters will find kurpacha (colourful sitting mattresses), skullcaps, chapan (traditional heavy quilted cloaks), ceramics and knives here.
Uzbekistan is a Central Asian nation and former Soviet republic. It's known for its mosques, mausoleums and other sites linked to the Silk Road, the ancient trade route between China and the Mediterranean. Samarkand, a major city on the route, contains a landmark of Islamic architecture: the Registan, a plaza bordered by 3 ornate, mosaic-covered religious schools dating to the 15th and 17th centuries.

Old City, Mosques and Earthquake Memorial in Tashkent - Uzbekistan 4K Travel Channel
Before visiting the Hazrati Imam Mosque we want to take a look around the old town of Tashkent. Only some of the historical structure which so clearly represents the Orient remained after the earthquake of 1966. We enter the neighborhood via Tarix Street, which is traversed by a small canal. High clay walls form narrow street canyons in the side lanes and prevent a view into the courtyards.
Thanks to our guide Nargiz, we have the opportunity to take a look at some inner courtyards. They have a different designs but give insight into the individual needs of the residents.
In the first courtyard, we meet a lady who proves a happy hand with her plants. But the animals also seem to be close to her heart. Besides to a dog and chickens, we can even discover a goat in a shed. In the next courtyard is a bed, where they can sleep in the open air during the warm season.
Here turtles enrich life. Also in the next courtyard, we see a bed and a fruit-tree provides shade. Everyone creates himself a little paradise.
We continue our walk to the mausoleum, built by the 926 AD deceased Imam Abu Bakr Kaffal Shashi. It was erected in 1542 AD for him and some of his disciples. Believing Muslims still come here today to ask for help in emergencies.
Now we arrive at the Muslim center of Central Asia, the Khazrati Imam complex. On the one hand, it consists of the Barak-khan Madrasa, which was originally built as a mausoleum. Barak-khan (Nauruz-Akhmed), a great-grandson of Ulugh Beg, the Timurid prince of Sarmakand, who has made his name as an astronomer, converted the building into a madrasa. In the Soviet era, all the madrasas were closed. Today, only ten state madrasas are allowed again.
The Imam Al Bukhari Islamic institutes set up next-door is a kind of university for Islamic sciences. It should be noted that the radical Islam is heavily combated in Uzbekistan. The country pursues a secularized line. Due to the Soviet history, there are many residents without religion. The Barak-khan Madrasa is now a retail space for local craftsmen.
In the middle of the complex is the library building of the Muyi Muborak Madrasah. It contains the most valuable part of the complex, the oldest Koran, dating from the 7th century.

Vor dem Besuch der Hazrati Imam Moschee wollen wir uns noch ein wenig in der Altstadt von Taschkent umsehen. Nur wenig ist von der historischen Bausubstanz die den Orient so anschaulich wiedergibt nach dem Erdbeben von 1966 übrig geblieben.
Wir betreten das Viertel über die Tarix Straße, die von einem kleinen Kanal durchzogen wird. Hohe Lehmwände bilden schmale Häuserschluchten in den Nebengassen und verhindern einen Blick in die Innenhöfe.
Dank unserer Fremdenführerin Nargiz haben wir die Gelegenheit einen Blick in manche Innenhöfe zu werfen, die sehr unterschiedlich gestaltet sind, aber gut über die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Bewohner Auskunft geben.
Im Ersten treffen wir auf eine Dame, die eine glücklichen Hand bei ihren Pflanzen beweist. Doch auch die Tiere scheinen ihr am Herzen zu liegen. Neben einem Hund und Hühnern können wir in einem Verschlag sogar eine Ziege entdecken. Im nächsten Innenhof steht ein Bett, so dass man während der warmen Jahreszeit im Freien schlafen kann.
Hier bereichern Schildkröten das Leben. Auch im nächsten Innenhof steht ein Bett im Innenhof, dazu sorgt ein Obstbaum für Schatten. Jeder schafft sich hier ein kleines eigenes Paradies.
Bald erreichen wir das Mausoleum, dass vom 926 n. Chr. verstorbenen Imam Abu Bakr Kaffal Schaschi gebaut wurde. Es wurde 1542 n. Chr. für ihn und einige seiner Schüler errichtet. Gläubige Moslems kommen noch heute hierher um in Notsituationen Hilfe zu erbitten.
Nun kommen wir zum moslemischen Zentrum Zentralasiens, dem Khazrati Imam Komplex. Der besteht zum einen aus der Barak-khan Medrese , die ursprünglich auch als Mausoleum erbaut wurde. Barak-khan (Nauruz-Akhmed), ein Urenkel von Ulugh Beg, dem Timuriden Fürst aus Sarmakand, der sich als Astronom einen Namen gemacht hat, baute das Gebäude in eine Medrese um. In der Sowjet Zeit wurden sämtliche Medressen (Koranschulen) geschlossen. Heute sind nur zehn staatliche wieder erlaubt.
Das nebenan errichtete Imam Al Bukhari Islamic Institute ist eine Art Hochschule für Islamische Wissenschaften. Dazu ist zu bemerken, dass der radikale Islam in Usbekistan schwer bekämpft wird. Das Land verfolgt eine säkularisierte Linie. Aufgrund der sowjetischen Geschichte sind viele Bewohner ohne Religion. Die Barak-khan Medresse wurde als Verkaufsfläche für heimische Handwerker umgestaltet.
In der Mitte des Komplexes befindet sich das Bibliotheksgebäude der Muyi Muborak Medresse. In ihr befindet sich das wertvollste Stück der Anlage, die älteste Niederschrift des Korans aus dem 7. Jahrhundert.

Chef in Tashkent Old Town, Uzbekistan
After stumbling around Tashkent for a day, we stopped at this little cafe in the old part of Tashkent close to the Chorsu Bazaar. This guy was funny and liked to play with his knives. He also made some lovely food.

As always I just love standing on the side of the road and capturing the passing parade. Traffic is traffic everywhere and here it is a little noisier than other places but still all good. We had a great first day in Tashkent
Uzbekistan STREET FOOD Tour of Chorsu Bazaar - Hasib, Honim & Norin | Tashkent, Uzbekistan
My whirlwind time in Tashkent, Uzbekistan continued with an unforgettable Uzbekistan street food tour of Chorsu Bazaar, where I tried incredible traditional dishes like hasib, honim, and norin. Come along with me on my exciting Uzbekistan street food market visit!
FEATURED:
Bobur:
Chorsu Bazaar is the largest and oldest traditional bazaar in Tashkent. Inside the massive, domed complex, you can find vendors selling fresh fruits, vegetables, and vendors. There are also vendors outside selling street food, and a nearby market that sells crafts and silks.
We headed to the left, straight to the food. There was a small vegetable market, where I could see cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, and much more!
The street food was down some stairs and to the right. I could see people eating somsas and corn. The smell was incredible! I started with some lamb sausage made of intestines called hasib. It was super tender and was full of flavor! Then I tried some horse meat with cheese called norin. The horse meat was dense and gamy, but so tasty!
Next, I tried honim, which is like a dumpling made with tomatoes, chilies, and onion. We took some honim, norin, and hasib to a nearby table to eat in the communal dining hall. The hasib was down in a soup. The tender meat absorbed the flavor of the broth. I could tell it had never been frozen!
The homim was filled with potatoes and topped with onion. The flavor was similar to an Italian pasta. The dough was thin and you get lots of filling. The potatoes inside are thinly sliced. I served us some tea for my throat.
The narib was like a horse salad. The cheese was really nice and didn’t have a lot of flavor. Most of the flavor was in the horse meat. I loved the crunch of the onions.
Then, I went with the beef kebab, which is cooked in lamb fat. It was phenomenal! The combination of the two was insane. It’s one of the best kebabs I’ve ever had in my life! It had a bread crust. But the hasib was my favorite!
I woke up with no voice, but the green tea was helping!
The meal cost me about 56,000 som, or about $5 or $6 USD. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Next, we found some plov, which is the national dish. It’s a mix of rice, raisins, vegetables, peppers, egg, and beef.
The main section of the bazaar had lots of souvenirs like clothes, pottery, hand-painted plates, and more. Finally, we headed into the domed section of the complex. It was all meat and spices, as well as dried fruits, nuts, and spices. It felt like a massive stadium! The smell was amazing!
There were lamb, beef, horse, and chicken everywhere. The butcher taught me to chop some meat. Then I saw some huge horse sausage, a horse heart, and some huge beef liver. There were so many cuts of meat, as well as organ meat, cow bones, and more.
On the second floor were nuts, dried fruits, and spices. From there, I had an amazing view of the whole domed market. I tried a dried apricot, which I loved! It was like fruit chewing gum. Then, I tried a prune, which was very dense and dry. They’re dried in the shade, so they don’t lose all their moisture!
Next, I had a dried kiwi, which was the best kiwi ever. It was nice, moist, and dense. There were also platters of nuts and fruits. There were hundreds of vendors. Then, we visited the souvenir market.
We passed restaurants, fruits, and spices to get there. The aroma was unreal! We passed through a maze-like clothing market. Everything was super affordable.
The souvenir shop had lots of vests and figurines of old men. There were also beautiful traditional hats, leather boots, and more. I got a fruit bowl, a jewelry box for my niece, and a hat as a gift. What a day!
I hope you enjoyed my tour of Chorsu Bazaar! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss my upcoming videos!

6 ноября мы встретились с Ашотом в фойе театра Ильхом. И Ашот пригласил меня на свой спектакль Человек с табуреткой. Тот день был его днем рождения. И в этот же день исполнилось ровно два года его спектаклю-перформансу Человек с табуреткой.
Я получил от него великолепный подарок - и я хочу поделиться им с вами, мои дорогие зрители.
Итак, легендарный Ильхом, Ашот Даниелян (лидер ташкентской рок-группы Крылья Оригами) и его спектакль Человек с табуреткой - в 3-х частях - Ташкент, 136, 137 и 138-я серии...

The ULTIMATE Uzbekistan STREET FOOD - Tandoori SOMSA (SAMOSA) + LAGMAN | Tashkent, Uzbekistan
After arriving in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, I hit the ground running to explore as much of the city as I could. Come along with me as I try the ultimate Uzbekistan street food, tandoori somsas, and check out some of the local attractions!
FEATURED:
Bobur:
My first Uzbek adventure began at Minor Somsa Restaurant with my guide, Bobur (or Bob), who would be showing me around. Minor Somsa is one of the best places in town to eat somsas. They’re similar to an empanada or an Indian samosa.
The restaurant was packed. It was open-air and had lots of seating on the outdoor terrace. I was the only foreigner there!
There were four tandoor ovens, where they stick the uncooked beef somsas around the inside wall of the oven. Once they’re inside, they fire them up and toss water inside. After they’ve cooked, they use a tool to scrape the somsas off the inside. The ovens are about 300 degrees inside. It’s super hot standing next to them!
I was losing my voice because of the dry air, but I couldn’t wait to eat. I had to let the somsas cool down because they were boiling hot. Bob served us some green tea after we took our seats.
The somsa was unbelievable! The minced meat inside was tender, juicy, and delicious. I tasted lots of incredible spices and the dough was nice and flaky. There were also onions inside! I added some tomato sauce, which made it even better!
Then I tried the traditional green tea, which was very light. It’s healthier than other types of tea and was really delicious.
Then I dove into the second somsa. It’s different from Indian samosas, which usually contain peas, lentils, or potatoes. I couldn’t get enough of the dough. It was the perfect, tasty snack. It cost only $0.30 USD for one somsa! Eating good food like this is a true experience.
Then, we arrived at the Minor Mosque of Tashkent, the main mosque in city. It’s relatively new at 4-5 years old. It had some beautiful blue, hand-painted tiles on it. The mosque has two minarets, a fountain, and two stunning, hand-crafted doors. The designs on them are gorgeous!
From there, we headed out to eat more traditional Uzbek food! On the way, I marveled at the Soviet-style buildings and wide streets. There were also lots of trees. The Silk Road went through Tashkent, so Chinese and Indian people came through here. Those influences can be tasted in the noodles at Lagman House!
Inside, I watched them prepare the noodles. At our table, we had some amazing fruit juice, which was like a mix of peach and apple!
Then, we had some of the national bread, which was soft and fresh like the crust of a pizza! I loved how fluffy and airy it was. It tasted great with the chili oil!
My ultimate Uzbekistan street food tour continued with the lagman. It was topped with fresh beef, vegetables, and sauce. It was al dente and the noodles were thicker than glass noodles. It was dense, mild, and light on spices, but still so good! It reminded me of Italian pasa! Fresh ingredients, made with love. You can’t beat it!
Then, we drove to the Old Town to the Khazrati Imam Mosque. Old Tashkent felt very different from the modern area. The streets were narrower and it felt more like the countryside, with smaller houses. The mosque dates back to the 16th century and is massive! There are two minarets, and the mosque houses one of the oldest Korans in the world! It’s from the 7th century and is a national treasure.
We walked through the complex to a small, family-run shop in a handcraft bazaar where they were making jewelry boxes, seats, plates, and more. I bought some jewelry boxes for my wife and daughters for 650,000 som/roughly $68 USD, but he gave me a discount!
I hope you enjoyed my tour of Tashkent! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe! I’ll see you in the next travel/food adventure! Where have you been?

Arrival in Tashkent - Uzbekistan 4K Travel Channel
At 7 o'clock in the morning, we landed in Tashkent. We have started our journey in Bishkek at 5.45 hours. Uzbekistan is now the third country on our journey through Central Asia. After the adventurous journey through Tajikistan and the breathtaking nature of Kyrgyzstan, we would like to get to know the culture of the Silk Road.
Sirojiddin Hujamuratov from Registran Travel and the driver Shamil pick us up at the airport. We met Sirojiddin already in Berlin at the ITB in spring and he made us a very attractive offer, so we decided to travel to Uzbekistan as well.
At first, we go to the hotel to drop our luggage. We stay at the Hotel Arien Plaza. A comfortable hotel that offers everything you need.
On the last day of our stay in Uzbekistan, we stay here once again. We can only say that everything is very clean and the staff very friendly.
But first, we need money. We drive via Usman Nasir Street, Shota Rustaveli Street, and Shakhrisabz Street to the center of Tashkent. The Uzbekistan Hotel has a cash machine (ATM). Unfortunately, it is empty. Via Amir Temur Avenue we drive to the Radisson Blu Hotel, Tashkent. Here we find an ATM and can withdraw dollars. We still have no Uzbek so'm.
Sirojiddin informs us. At the time of our stay (September 2017), the official rate is around 4000 so'm for € 1.-. On the black market, you get about 7000 so'm, which of course is not allowed. Since the inflation rate is around 70%, it is not advisable to exchange a lot of money directly. So he suggests we always exchange $ 100 with him. As soon as the money is used up we change the next € 100.-. Every time we get a big bundle of bank notes. Later, we saw women in a restaurant carrying a bundle of about 5cm thick. This is normal here. You usually do not keep money in a purse but in a plastic bag.
After that's done, we drive back to the Uzbekistan Hotel, where we pick up our guide Nargiz, who accompanies us for the rest of the day. Various tours on this day will be shown in another two more videos.

Morgens um 7 Uhr landen wir in Taschkent. Wir sind um 5.45 Uhr in Bischkek gestartet.
Usbekistan ist nun das dritte Land, auf unserer Reise durch Zentralasien. Nach der abenteuerlichen Reise durch Tadschikistan und der atemberaubenden Natur von Kirgisistan möchten wir nun die Kultur der Seidenstraße kennenlernen.
Sirojiddin Hujamuratov von Registon Travel und der Fahrer Shamil holen uns vom Flughafen ab. Wir haben Sirojiddin im Frühjahr in Berlin auf der ITB getroffen und er hat uns ein sehr attraktives Angebot gemacht, so dass wir uns entschlossen haben, auch nach Usbekistan zu reisen.
Zunächst fahren wir ins Hotel um unser Gepäck abzustellen. Wir sind im Hotel Arien Plaza untergebracht. Ein komfortables Hotel, das alles bietet, was man benötigt.
Am letzten Tag unseres Aufenthalts in Usbekistan übernachten wir noch einmal hier. Es bereitete auch kein Problem um 3 Uhr morgens einen Kaffee zu bekommen, da wir einen sehr frühen Flug gebucht haben. Wir können nur bestätigen, dass alles sehr sauber ist und das Personal sehr freundlich.
Zunächst haben wir aber das Problem, dass wir Geld benötigen. Wir fahren über die Usman Nasir Street, die Shota Rustaveli Street und die Shakhrisabz Street ins Zentrum von Taschkent.
Im Uzbekistan Hotel gibt es einen Geldautomat (ATM). Leider ist er leer. Über die Amir Temur Avenue geht es weiter zum Radisson Blu Hotel, Taschkent. Hier werden wir fündig und können Dollar abheben. Damit haben wir noch immer keine usbekischen So`m.
Nun klärt uns Sirojiddin auf. Zum Zeitpunkt unseres Aufenthaltes ( September 2017 ) liegt der offizielle Kurs ungefähr bei 4000 So`m für € 1.-. Auf dem Schwarzmarkt erhält man ca. 7000 So'm, was natürlich nicht erlaubt ist. Da die Inflationsrate ungefähr bei 70% liegt, ist es nicht ratsam direkt sehr viel Geld umzutauschen. Also schlägt er uns vor, immer nur $ 100.- bei ihm einzuwechseln. Sobald das Geld aufgebraucht ist, wechseln wir die nächsten € 100.-. Jedes Mal bekommt man ein dickes Bündel an Scheinen. Wir haben später Frauen in einem Restaurant beobachtet, die ein ungefähr 5cm dickes Geldbündel bei sich hatten. Dies ist hier normal. Geld bewahrt man üblicherweise auch nicht in einer Geldbörse auf, sondern in einer Plastiktüte.
Als das erledigt ist, fahren wir wieder zurück zum Uzbekistan Hotel, wo wir unsere Fremdenführerin Nargiz abholen, die uns den Rest des Tages begleiten wird. Diverse Führungen an diesem Tag werden in zwei weiteren Videos gezeigt.
