About

The founders

Two people who wanted Uzbekistan explained properly, in every language they could manage.

Zafarbek

Co-founder

One of the three who started Explore Uzbekistan. The project rests on a shared idea — that a country is worth explaining properly, in the languages the people asking actually read — and it exists because none of them wanted to keep sending friends abroad links that did not say anything.

Jahongir

Co-founder

Co-founded Explore Uzbekistan with the conviction that a country is best explained by the people who live in it. Works on the research behind the sections and on making sure what the site says about Uzbekistan is accurate before it is interesting.

Muhammadamin

Co-founder

Started Explore Uzbekistan out of a simple frustration: almost everything written about the country in English was either a tour brochure or a footnote in someone else's history. This site is the version he wanted to be able to send people.
