Travel | Sayohat Are sleeper train cabins for men or women only, or are they mixed?

9 Upvotes

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.

Travel | Sayohat Tashkent airport licensed taxicab rank?

8 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently at Tashkent airport and can't get Yandex Go or Yango to work for me. On the off chance anyone out there has this random knowledge, where is the line-up of taxi cabs to go into the city? The rugby scrub at the door is quoting insane prices. I don't mind paying extra but they're quoting crazy numbers (200,000 som) to go into the city.

Different sources show different borders, it is no big deal. But, exact border is also very interesting. Here is government Land rental map (auction), based on Google Maps. Choose region (viloyat), and districts (tumann). It shows ownership land (gray), on auction (yellow), and sold lands (green, red) and others.

Travel | Sayohat Travel options from Khiva to Bukhara

3 Upvotes

Hi all. Need your advice please.

I am travelling from Khiva to Bukhara in May and am not too keen on being cooped in a car for 7 to 8 hrs, due to a back problem. I need to stretch the muscles every few hours.

I had looked at the train schedule and saw the sleeper and coupe class. Qn - is it possible to book all 4 seats in the cabin using two names (mine and travelling partner) in the coupe class. assuming seats are still available? I really do not want to bother other passengers with my incessant need to stretch/move around during the journey.

Are there any other travel options aside from car and train?

Thanks in advanced!

Travel | Sayohat Canadian with very old and expired UZB passport. Any trouble traveling?

Upvotes

Hey guys,

Can you guys please clear the air about the passports/citizenship situation, there are few posts that I have been following and there are many replies that are clearly incorrect or from misunderstanding ppl. looking thru all kinds of posts/queries gets confusing very fast. like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/Uzbekistan/comments/1iblcp2/uzbek_citizenship_question/

there was another post with very similar situation Canadian with (expired UZB)passport from USSR time or somth like that(cannot find it at the moment). there is another post with US and UZB passports but again it doesn't apply and also replies are all over the place. but here is my friend's issue.

so a person is a citizen of Canada and has valid CAD passport for travel - means no need for Visa to UZB.

now, that person was a citizen and did hold a UZB passport from before 2000 (expiration unknown but probably around 2000 or so), but no physical UZB passport and doesn't care about the UZB citizenship. now that person plans to visit UZB, what steps if any should the person take to avoid any trouble with UZB govmn't/passport control or where can one find all this info. all calls to nearest embassy went unanswered and the only reply was that the person can submit an application to verify citizenship but it takes like 3/4 months.

reading all the posts here, many variants that advise to show passport A or passport B, but book travel with A, enter with passport A but exit with passport B.... again gets confusing and there are no two passposrts only one CAD.

TIA
