As a Central Asia country, Uzbekistan has a typical continental climate. It is hot and dry in summer, and cold in winter. In summer, the average temperature is 36°C (97℉) in north, while the temperature usually gets to 40°C (104℉) in south. In winter, the average temperature is 8 °C (46℉).

The best time to have tours of Uzbekistan is spring from April to mid June and autumn from September to October. In spring, the weather is mild and the average temperature is 20°C (68℉). It is the most beautiful time in desert, since all plants come back to life in this short period. And in autumn, weather is cool again. It is also a good time for travel. Summer is the low season because of the hot weather. But if you visit Uzbekistan at this time, you could enjoy a lot of delicious fruits and it is less touristy in spots. Winter is a low season too, but it is perfect time for skiing.

There are 6 international airports in Uzbekistan: Bukhara International Airport, Fergana International Airport, Navoi International Airport, Samarkand International Airport, Tashkent International Airport and Urgench International Airport. Tashkent International Airport is the biggest one. It is easy to find a direct flight to Uzbekistan from Amsterdam, Athens, New York, Frankfurt, Delhi, Tel Aviv etc.

Besides the international airports, there are 7 domestic airports. You can fly to almost all the major cities. The Uzbekistan railway system is mature too. The railway connects the major cities like Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand together. Traveling by train is also a very popular way.

Most of the residents in Uzbekistan are Muslims. To show respect to their culture and tradition, travelers should avoid wearing shorts or tights when taking Uzbekistan tours. And female travelers need to wear headscarves to cover their heads and shoulders when visiting mosques, mausoleums and temples.

It is very safe to have tours of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan is pretty stable and the crime rate is low. There are always English-speaking polices in the streets of big cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand. Travelers can ask for the polices' help if they need any assist. But since its bordering country Afghanistan is not stable, you are suggested not to approach the border.
