Weather

Tashkent in April is mild and spring-like. Average daytime highs reach about 22C and overnight lows fall to around 9-10C, with occasional values from about 7C to 28C.

Plan for the climate

Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Cultural notes

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

Greetings and business cards

A handshake with the right hand and the greeting 'Assalomu alaykum' are standard in business settings. Offer and receive business cards with the right hand, and keep a Russian-language version of your card available — Uzbek business conversations frequently switch between Uzbek, Russian and English.

Hospitality and tipping

Tea is offered before any discussion and accepting it is a mark of goodwill. Restaurants and hotels commonly expect a 5–10% tip, while airport and city taxi fares are agreed before departure or booked through a ride-hail app. Do not turn a flatbread (non) upside down or place it on the floor — it is treated as a symbol of hospitality.

Dress and venue etiquette

Business attire or smart casual dress is well received at Uzexpocentre NEC and in city-centre hotels. Uzbekistan is a secular state with moderate Muslim traditions: dress modestly when visiting mosques or private homes, remove shoes on entering a home, and avoid photographing military or government buildings.
