The sincere smile and piercing gaze of the residents of Kyrgyzstan through the lens of a Lebanese photographer (17 photos)
Photographer Omar Reda says:
Kyrgyzstan is the hidden gem of Central Asia. When you visit the rural areas, you will be captivated by the beauty of the scenery. Green hills and mountains are everywhere: it's like walking through Windows desktop wallpaper.
These magical landscapes may be the secret of the joy of life of the Kyrgyz people.
Wherever I went, I was always greeted with a happy smile, despite the harsh nomadic lifestyle. Another unique feature of the Kyrgyz people is their bright sparkling eyes, which surprised me every time I looked at the faces of the locals. They reflect the innocence and modesty of these people.
Kyrgyzstan is a place that everyone should visit. Here, horses gallop through lush green fields, these are the kind of animated landscapes by artists that you see in museums or hotel lobbies. Once you leave, you will immediately want to come back and stay here for life.
