Khorezm Region is often entered through Khiva, but Urgench, lower Amu Darya agriculture, canal villages, courtyard houses and roads toward Karakalpakstan give the region its wider shape. The walled city matters more when the living plain around it is visible.

Navoi Region is Uzbekistan at desert scale: Navoi city, mining towns, Kyzylkum roads, Sarmishsay petroglyphs, Nurata approaches and Aydarkul lake camps. It is industrial and old at the same time, with long drives that make water and fuel feel concrete.
Contains
Surxondaryo Region is Uzbekistan’s southern door. Termez, the Amu Darya, the Friendship Bridge, Buddhist remains, pilgrimage places, Boysun routes and intense heat make the region feel like a frontier of trade, faith, border logistics and long roads.
Contains
Fergana Region gives the Uzbek valley its most visible craft circuit: Kokand for urban memory, Margilan for silk, Rishtan for ceramics. The road between them is full of workshop errands, school traffic, fruit sellers and fields shaped by household labor.
Contains
Andijan Region is compact, crowded and direct. Andijan city, Babur memory, factories, markets, border-facing roads and irrigated fields create a harder eastern rhythm than Fergana’s craft circuit or Namangan’s foothill edge, with daily movement always close.
