ウズベキスタンに驚愕 ― 2025年、最も物価の安い国に迫る
I traveled all over Uzbekistan in 2025, and it might be the best budget travel destination in the world.
This video is your inside look at what it’s really like to travel in Uzbekistan — from how cheap it is, to what locals are like, to places you never hear about in guidebooks. I visited Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and the Fergana Valley — from ancient Silk Road architecture to modern city life to remote villages.
🇺🇿 Is Uzbekistan worth visiting?
-How cheap is it to travel in 2025?
-What are the best hidden gems beyond the tourist trail?
This raw documentary answers all that and more — based on real experiences, real prices, and real people I met along the way.

Самое время путешествовать по Узбекистану август месяц.
Don't forget to visit Termiz

Don't forget to visit Bukhara shopping mall
Самая дешевая ? Не смешите .Может она дешевая страна для туристов но не надо это смешивать .Тут цены на продукты как в москве даже подороже а 70 процентов людей получают в среднем 300 долларов 400 долларов в месяц .ну попробуйте пожить с такой зарплатой .Я не говорю о ташкенте .это отлельная страна со саоими зарплатами как и все столицы мира. НО ТАшкент это не весь узбекистан .Иначе бы наши бедные жители не ехали бы по всему миру в поисках работы. …….

Hey! Thanks a lot for visiting and showing our country to your audience 👍. Just wanted to clarify smth for your curly friend: the old Uzbek language is a unique heritage on its own, very different from Arabic script. It was the language of our greatest scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians, and it played a huge role in world history. Thought it’d be cool for your audience to know that too 🙌.
My friend, only about independent Uzbekistan information interesting, no Soviet union.good luck guys ✌️
What do you mean cheapest country?? Compared to what else?? It's definitely not the cheapest in Central Asia or the greater area there 🙄
Dislike cause you have used not ozbek language in subtitles
It is good honour to see tourists in my country ❤
Welcome to Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
I am so happy to visit my city Rishtan
If you’re junky backpacker, yeah it’s could feel affordable. But if you’re traveling as normal tourist it’s a country with normal prices.
Il y a des pays comme l'Egypte, l'Inde, l'Irak, dont l'histoire remonte à plusieurs milliers d'années, mais malgré cela, une grande partie de la population du pays vit dans la pauvreté. L'histoire de l'Ouzbékistan moderne a également plusieurs siècles, mais auparavant, un tel pays n'existait pas sur la carte du monde, il y avait 2 khanats et 1 émirat. En tant qu'ouzbek, né et élevé sous l'Union soviétique, je peux dire, s'il y a maintenant une telle nation, un tel pays et un tel niveau de vie – c'est le mérite de l'époque soviétique, vous pouvez dire le mérite des russes! Si Lénine et les bolcheviks n'avaient pas créé l'URSS, il n'y aurait pas eu d'Ouzbékistan moderne et d'ouzbeks modernes! En outre, il n'y aurait absolument pas toutes les républiques de l'EX-URSS, sauf la Russie.
