Zag is a small town in the Osh region of southern Kyrgyzstan, located on the edge of the Ferghana Basin, near the border with Uzbekistan. The region is predominantly agricultural, growing crops such as cotton and fruits, and retaining elements of a traditional nomadic culture. Located on the historical path of the Silk Road, Zag has a diverse ethnic composition, including Kyrgyz and Uzbeks, reflecting the cultural mix that characterizes Central Asia.
