I went to the OLDEST city of TAJIKISTAN, KHUJAND 🇹🇯 | Exploring Tajikistan In 2024

It was a hot summer day when I arrived in KHUJAND, Tajikistan, located in the Western Fergana valley. During daytime, the temperature here often rises above 35°C, but at night this ancient city comes alive.

Follow me on a walk to Panjshanbe Market, one of the biggest bazars in Central Asia and to the ancient fortress that was erected more than 2500 years ago. Khujand was not only visited by Alexander the Great, but also played a major role on the ancient Silk Road. As I stross around the city, I uncover the hidden gems of the local cuisine: shakarob (a traditional Tajik salad) and various soups. The food here is extremely delicious, but at the same time very affordable. Surprisingly, this city is totally off the tourist radar.
