Tashkent eSIM
91 Uzbekistan plans · from $3.19
Tashkent is the entry point to the Silk Road cities, and the high-speed Afrosiyob train puts Samarkand two hours away and Bukhara four. A travel eSIM covers the whole route, including the desert crossing to Khiva where coverage becomes genuinely sparse.
Landing at Islam Karimov Tashkent International (TAS)
The airport is close to the centre but the arrivals process can be slow. Yandex Go operates in the city and is the straightforward way in — book it with data already live rather than negotiating outside the terminal.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more
Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.
Which networks you'll be on in Tashkent
Siima eSIMs for Uzbekistan ride Beeline and Ucell. Coverage is solid in the cities and along the main highways and rail corridors, and thins across the desert stretches.
Coverage around Tashkent
Tashkent Metro
The stations are among the most ornate in the world and photography has been permitted since 2018 — coverage is available in the stations, with some variation in the older tunnel sections.
Chorsu and the centre
Good 4G across the bazaar, the old town and the Soviet-era boulevards. The city is spread out, so navigation matters more than you expect.
Samarkand and Bukhara
The Afrosiyob route is covered for most of its length, and both cities have good coverage across the Registan, Shah-i-Zinda and the Bukhara old town.
The Kyzylkum crossing to Khiva
The long desert road and rail stretch west has extended gaps with no signal at all. Download maps, tickets and anything you need to read before you set off.
How much data you need
Ten days on the Silk Road route is 3–5 GB. Translation apps are a bigger share here than in most destinations — Russian and Uzbek signage is the norm.
