Situated 1,600 metres above sea level on the south-facing slopes of the Ferghana range, Arslanbob boasts striking mountain scenery, friendly locals and the most prized walnuts in the country.

The population is predominantly Uzbek and Arslanbob is considered to be rather conservative, as it is close to many Muslim holy sites and due to its isolation from the rest of the country.
