Uzbekistan is having a moment — the blue-tiled Registan in Samarkand, the old walled city of Khiva, and Bukhara’s minarets are drawing more travellers each year. One regional eSIM keeps you online across the whole Silk Road route, from Tashkent to Khiva.

This plan covers Uzbekistan on the same data balance as 30+ other Asian countries, so if your trip continues on to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or elsewhere on the old Silk Road, the same eSIM keeps working — no new SIM to hunt down at the next border. It’s a single fixed plan: 10 days, 6GB at high speed, then unlimited data throttled to 128kbps for the rest of the validity — enough to keep maps and messaging working even after the high-speed allowance runs out. Install before you fly, switch on Data Roaming when you land in Tashkent, and you are online for the whole loop — the Registan in Samarkand, the Ark fortress and old town in Bukhara, and the walled city of Khiva. Coverage is strongest in the cities and along the well-travelled routes between them; it can thin out on long desert stretches, so download offline maps for the road between Bukhara and Khiva. Data-only: keep your home number in the phone for calls.
