The Navoi region of Uzbekistan is developing as a sustainable travel destination. Sentob village, named a UNWTO Best Tourist Village, promotes family-run guesthouses and traditional experiences.

In Nurata, visitors can explore the Chashma Spring pilgrimage site and a fortress linked to Alexander the Great. The area also preserves embroidery traditions and Bronze Age petroglyphs in Sarmishsay gorge.

At Aidarkul Lake, yurts offer both traditional and modern stays, complemented by camel treks and desert landscapes.
