Kitab State Geological Reserve to be opened for tourists 

The State Committee of Uzbekistan for Tourism Development together with the State Committee for Geology and Mineral Resources plan to open for tourists a unique tourist destination - the Kitab State Geological Reserve.

This was announced on August 2 by representatives of the committees at the opening of the new holiday destination. It has been only for scientists to visit. 

The cleared paths and observation platforms along the cuts make it possible to see ancient corals, other marine sedimentary rocks that were formed 370-470 million years ago, having preserved the unique remains of the structures of fossil organisms and plants during the presence of the Kitab Geological Reserve.

“Our task is to present this geological section to the whole world and show its significance for science, history, culture and in this case for tourism,” the adviser to the chairman of the State Committee for Geology and Mineral Resources Ilhom Turamuratov said. 

It is noted that the Committee has already submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers for consideration a draft proposal on changing the status of the Kitab Geological Reserve to National Park, which would allow anyone who wants to see this unique natural zone with their own eyes.
