Everything operates as usual, and alcohol is sold.

I didn’t think there would be major issues, but I accidentally found out these dates fall during Ramadan. So, my question is: how much will this affect the operation and variety of local eateries, food markets, and prices?

No one will spit in your plate.

And what @senekalucilius said is best.

You'll be fine there. It is widely shared in Uzbekistan that observing Ramadan is a personal matter, no one is going to enforce it on you and no one will even blame you for that.

On the one hand, they might genuinely welcome you, saying, "Come in, dear guest, enjoy your meal while we earn our money." On the other hand, they might bring the plate but leave you wondering if someone spat in it on the way.

Don’t worry; Ramadan restrictions aren’t observed with extreme strictness here.

Of course, I don’t plan to fast myself. I’d like to know—if anyone has traveled during Ramadan, what’s it like for tourists during the daytime? Should I reconsider my plans? Will this affect my trip? My goal is to travel across the country using trains and planes, enjoy wine and good food. Would this be impossible during Ramadan, or only possible after sunset?
