Uzbekistan is one of two doubly-landlocked countries in the world. To get to the open
sea, one would need to cross two other countries first. The only other
doubly-landlocked country is Liechtenstein.

Uzbeks always negotiate prices before buying something. It may seem funny but both
sellers and buyers love doing it. Any purchase is not a good purchase if it is bought
without bargaining. So, when you look for souvenirs or fruit on the market, make sure
you get 10%-20% off the price.
Uzbekistan’s signature dish is plov (also called palov or pilaf), a main course classically
made with rice, meat, yellow and orange carrots and onions. There are dozens of plov
recipes from all over Uzbekistan. Though the same ingredients are used across the
country, cooking methods vary from region to region. Try plov in Tashkent, Samarkand,
Bukhara, Shakhrisabz, Khiva, and the Fergana Valley and see if you can choose your
favorite one.
Samarkand bread does not get stale for many days if stored in a cloth bread bag.
Uzbeks always bring bread from Samarkand to their families as a souvenir. The best
places to buy bread are Siyob Market and Tashkent Street in Samarkand.
