Khujand Walking Tour

Location Khujand, Tajikistan

Asli Travel

Khodjant has been historically referred to by scholars, poets, and authors as the "Crown of the World," making it an important historical and cultural site within Central Asia. As the largest and most populous city in Northern Tajikistan, Khodjant plays a significant role in the region's socio-economic development.



Khujand was conquered by Alexander the Great, who subsequently rebuilt and fortified the city, giving it the name "Alexandria Eskhata." Subsequently, the city fell under Arab control during the VIII century. It faced opposition from the Chingizkhan army but ultimately succumbed to destruction around the XIII century. Nevertheless, within a brief span of time, the city regenerated and emerged as a significant commercial, cultural, and scientific hub in the Central Asian region.

Starting your journey at the Sughdiyun Hotel (Sugdion), you may choose to alter your departure time according to your preferences.

The itinerary includes exploring Khujand's Central Park via a cable car for an enhanced experience of its newer sections. Next, visit the Alexandria Eskhata - Khodjand Fortress (dating back to the VII-VIII centuries), where you can delve into the rich history of this pivotal location.

Make sure to explore the Archaeological Museum, which offers insights into the ancient culture and civilization of the area. The Grand Theatre of Khujand provides a vibrant platform for performances, enriching your cultural journey. Don't miss the Monuments of IIWW, located in the heart of the city, offering panoramic views and historical significance.

As you proceed further, pay tribute to the Mosque and Mausoleum of Sheikh Muslihiddin, standing testament to the architectural grandeur of the Islamic era. A popular landmark, Panjshanbe, the Oriental Bazaar, showcases the bustling atmosphere and diverse offerings typical of the local marketplaces.

Throughout your trip, keep an eye out for various Soviet-era buildings that have since been repurposed or preserved as landmarks in the modern cityscape.
