  Fergana with Anor Samarkand Travel
Fergana valley is a big flourishing oasis with a fine climate.
With the central streets shaded by huge plane and poplar trees and dotted with pastel-plastered tsarist buildings, Fergana is called among locals as a "Sleeping beauty".
Fergana's most appealing attraction is the bazaar, its good natured Uzbek traders leavened with Korean and Russian vendors selling home-made specialties.

Fergana (Uzbek: Farg'ona [Фарғона] or Farghana, Russian: Фергана) is a city (1999 population: 182,800), the capital of Fergana Province in eastern Uzbekistan, at the southern edge of the Fergana Valley in southern Central Asia, cutting across the borders of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Fergana also played a central role in the history of the Mughal dynasty of South Asia in that Omar Sheikh Mirza, chieftain of Farghana, was the father of Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur (1483-1530), founder of the Mughal dynasty in India.
Fergana’s wide, orderly tree-shaded avenues and attractive blue-washed 19th century czarist colonial-style houses are said to mimic the appearance of pre-modern and pre-earthquake Tashkent.
