Indonesian tourists show particular interest in ancient cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. Here they explore architectural monuments, mosques, and madrasahs, as well as the rich heritage of Islamic civilization. At the same time, pilgrimage tourism holds a special place—many travelers seek to visit sacred sites.
Among the main places of interest are the Mausoleum of Imam al-Bukhari, the Bahauddin Naqshband Complex, and the Mausoleum of Imam Maturidi. In addition, the Islamic Civilization Center in Tashkent and the Imam al-Bukhari Complex in Samarkand are also popular. These sites play an important role in the history of Islam and in spiritual life, offering Indonesian Muslims opportunities for spiritual enrichment and deeper religious understanding. Visitors can also perform prayers there and experience the atmosphere of historical heritage.
The measures being implemented in Uzbekistan to develop pilgrimage tourism—including infrastructure improvements, the creation of specialized tour packages, and enhanced service quality—are contributing to the continued growth in the number of tourists from Indonesia.
