The Uzbekistan Tourist Information Centre — Pakistan is the official representative office of the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Pakistan, and has been for the past twenty-five years.
Headquartered in Islamabad, we work alongside the Embassy of Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan Airways and the national tourism authorities to open Uzbekistan to Pakistani travellers — for culture, history, faith and business. Through exhibitions, delegations, partnerships and everyday counsel across the desk, we introduce the land of Amir Temur, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva to the people of Pakistan.
Twenty-five years of that work has left us with something no brochure can give you: the phone numbers, the ground contacts and the plain experience of what actually goes right and wrong on a journey from Pakistan to Samarkand.

A message from the Brand Ambassador
Assalam-o-Alaikum.
For twenty-five years this office has carried one message across Pakistan: Uzbekistan is not a foreign land to us. It is family.
Our two nations share faith, food, language and a history written along the same Silk Road. The names our children grow up with — Imam al-Bukhari, Amir Temur, Bahauddin Naqshband — belong to the soil of Samarkand and Bukhara. To travel there is not to visit somewhere new. It is to return to a part of our own story.
In these years I have watched the journey become easier: direct flights, a simpler visa, new hotels, fast trains between the great cities. What has never needed improving is the welcome at the other end.
Whatever takes you there — faith, business, study, or plain curiosity — my team and I are here in Islamabad to make the way straight. Come and see us. The tea is already on.
— Hamid Mahmood
Brand Ambassador of Uzbekistan Tourism in Pakistan
