Central Asia's new "Must-Visit" destination: How much does it cost to visit the center of Islamic civilization?

For a world-class experience, less than $15 — this is exactly the amount sufficient for a family of two adults and two children to visit the Islamic Civilization Center.

 

The ticket prices for visiting this new, large-scale cultural project in Tashkent were announced at a press conference attended by members of the Scientific Council, representatives of partner organizations, and experts in science, culture, and education.

 

The Center is now open to the general public and can be visited on a regular basis. Its operating hours have been set for the convenience of visitors: ежедневно from 09:00 to 22:00, without days off. This allows, in particular, for evening visits with family after work. Such a practice is being introduced in Uzbekistan’s museums for the first time.

 

The organizers noted that the visiting system has been developed in accordance with international museum standards and is designed for both local residents and foreign tourists. Ticket categories are differentiated, with separate pricing for citizens of Uzbekistan, foreign visitors, and children.

 

The ticket price includes:
— accompaniment by professional multilingual guides
— access to unique exhibits and historical artifacts
— exhibitions reflecting Central Asia’s contribution to global science and Islamic civilization

 

Visitors will also have access to the Qur’an Hall, where a luminous dynamic environment has been created through architectural-artistic mapping using more than one million Swarovski crystals. The program also includes four “time capsules,” allowing immersion into different historical periods. Interactive and digital installations present the region’s scientific and cultural heritage.

 

Tickets are available online (via iTicket.uz) and at the Center’s ticket offices. Electronic tickets are equipped with QR codes, making entry fast and convenient.

 

Visit formats include:
— group excursions (up to 30 people)
