Local tips
Get a SIM Card
Buy a local SIM card at the airport for affordable data. Ucell and Beeline have counters in the arrivals hall.
Exchange Currency
Exchange a small amount at the airport for immediate needs. Better rates are available in the city at banks or exchange offices ('Valyuta').
Customs Declaration
If carrying over $5,000, fill out a customs declaration form. Keep receipts for electronics.
Uzbek airports are modern and welcoming. Don't be surprised if fellow travelers greet you warmly. A simple 'Assalomu Alaykum' goes a long way in making friends right at the gate.
