As part of the “Week of Tolerance”, which encompasses various events aimed at strengthening interethnic and interfaith friendship, harmony, and solidarity across our country, a photo exhibition entitled “Uzbekistan – The Land of Tolerance” was held at the Tashkent House of Photography.
The event was attended by representatives and staff of the Committee on Interethnic Relations and Friendly Ties with Foreign Countries, the Committee on Religious Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan, activists of national cultural centers and friendship societies, representatives of religious confessions, and members of the media.

The latest group of Uzbek pilgrims is performing their acts of worship in Makkah al-Mukarramah, including the Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Kaaba, as well as the five daily prayers and voluntary (nafl) prayers.
They also visited several sacred sites such as Mount Arafat, Mount Nur, Mount Thawr, and the blessed valleys of Mina and Muzdalifah.
During their stay in Madinah al-Munawwarah, the pilgrims visited the Rawdah, Mount Uhud, and the Quba Mosque, and continue to perform their daily and optional prayers at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
Throughout the journey, Uzbek pilgrims have been treated with great respect and provided with comfortable accommodations — Pullman Zamzam Hotel (Madinah) and Al-Ayyam Elite Hotel (Makkah) offer excellent 5-star services to ensure a pleasant stay.
May Allah Almighty accept the worship and prayers of all the pilgrims and grant us the honor of making supplication beside His Sacred House.
