Yillar

Another one on our list of the most famous festivals in Uzbekistan is Yillar. This is Uzbek Christmas, which is celebrated in a manner similar to that of other countries around the world. Fir trees are decorated, gifts are distributed, and Santa Claus himself may appear in some regions.

One of the Uzbeks' distinguishing features is their legendary hospitality. Nowadays, it is a component of extremely old and valued practices, with hospitality being a very significant guideline. Discourteousness toward a guest was once considered a disgrace to the family and the entire town. Even if the visitor was a foe. This ancient practice continues to this day, causing the Uzbek people to act with remarkable correctness and respect.
