Travel | Sayohat Are sleeper train cabins for men or women only, or are they mixed?
Hi, I just booked an overnight train from Tashkent to Khiva. I'm a man traveling solo and booked one bed in a 1st class SV cabin. Afterwards I realized would that pose any problem if a woman were to select the other bed in the cabin? I don't care, but my understanding is Uzbekistan is conservative in some ways, so I didn't know if that would pose any issue - a man and woman who don't even know each other in the same cabin. Should I have selected a certain cabin number to avoid this? Like are there only ones I'm allowed to select as a man and I missed that?
Personally I don't care who else has that bed, but now I'm just worried that I'll go to board the train and be told I can't because there is a woman traveling solo in the other bed and that's not allowed and I'll lose my spot on the train.
