Panjakent dagstur fra Samarkand
Beskrivelse
Træd ind i den antikke by Penjikent, som engang var et blomstrende knudepunkt langs Den Store Silkevej. Fordyb dig i Sogdians rige historie, en gammel civilisation, der trivedes fra det 5. til det 8. århundrede e.Kr. Udforsk ruinerne af det antikke Panjakent og se resterne af en svunden tid. Besøg Muhammad Bashoros mausoleum er et arkitektonisk monument i Tadsjikistan (Mazar-i-Sharif) (11.-12. århundrede). I 1342-43 blev der bygget et stort, dybt buet helligdom og små rum i hjørnet samt en række gange. Det antikke Panjakent ligger i nærheden af det nuværende Panjakent og repræsenterer et unikt monument fra tidlig middelalder. I det 5-8. århundrede var det Sogdianas østligste by Sarazm er det første verdensarvssted i Tadsjikistan. Dette er en bygd med en historie på fem et halvt tusinde år. Velbevaret palads og religiøse bygninger, offentlige bygninger og beboelsesbygninger er af stor historisk og kulturel værdi.

Rejseplan
Øst for Panjakent, på en vej væk fra hovedvejen, finder du Mukhammad Bashoros mausoleum i en lille landsby kaldet Mazari Sharif. Det blev bygget her omkring det 11. eller 12. århundrede til ære for den islamiske lærde Mukhammad Bashoro, som det er opkaldt efter, som var ekspert i 'khadiser'.
Det gamle Panjakent blev grundlagt her allerede i det 5. århundrede f.Kr. som en del af den sogdiske civilisation. Det var dog i det 5. århundrede e.Kr., at det virkelig begyndte at blomstre. Byen ville være vokset betydeligt på det tidspunkt og dække meget af dette høje område, som jeg vandrer igennem. Der ville have været templer, fæstninger og store palæer for de rigeste beboere.
Panjakent-markedet er travlt, og jeg føler, at jeg er blevet fanget i en bølge af blomsterklædte kvinder med tørklæder, trukket af deres bevægelse gennem den udsmykkede port ind til stedet. Morgenrusen er i gang, og på tværs af markedet bliver plastikposer fyldt med frugt og grøntsager, nødder og slik
Dette elegante en-etagers museum, med sine hvide doriske søjler og fine blomsterudstilling, tildeler et værelse til sin navnebror, Abu Abdullah Rudaki (858-941), 'far til persisk poesi'. Museet er dog af mere interesse for dets udstilling af tekstiler og kostumer, freskoerne fundet ved det antikke Penjikent og de neolitiske redskaber fra det nærliggende Sarazm
Den mest betydningsfulde ting at se i nærheden af Panjakent er Sarazm, resterne af en by, der er endnu mere gammel end den, der blev grundlagt her af sogdianerne. Sarazm blev grundlagt omkring 3500 f.Kr. og er højst sandsynligt den ældste by i Centralasien. Folk her blev dygtige til landbrug og produktion af varer til handel, så det blev et vigtigt og velhavende centrum i regionen.

Parvina was a great guide. She greeted me and listened to what I wanted. She was very informative, best part was stopping on side of the road to eat 3 types of mulberries growing wild. All the sights were perfect and having a chat with the Sheikh while being treated to fresh yogurt, bread and tea was perfect. The drivers in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan were great. BRING PATIENCE because the border crossing is on foot and takes some time 50 minutes in and 35 minutes out. Otherwise a wonderful day trip in perfect weather I would do again with friends.
Sarazm, a proto urban Bronze Age city site. 5 to 6 thousand years old. A UNESCO site that marks the development of settlements in Central Asia. It was the first stop and very interesting. A great day trip to Panjakent from Samarkand. The Mazari-Sharif mausoleum was also an interesting stop. Farooq, the guide for the day was great.
Outstanding one day familiarisation with Tadzhikstan. Guide knowledgeable. Our conversation carried on all day.
We were hesitant to book this tour initially due to the higher cost and low amount of reviews, but we were so happy we ended up booking it! Dont let any of that stuff stop you from booking this tour, it is definitely worth it. Everything was so well organized and everything is covered for you throughout the entire trip. The driver takes you to the Uzbek side of the border, you walk through immigration, and your guide meets you right at the gate on the Tajik side, super easy and seamless process. The tour is amazing and covers all bases. It is a great introductory trip to Tajikistan and you get to get feel for the hospitality, food, history, and culture. We enjoyed our time so much we are planning another trip to central asia so we can travel Tajikistan fully. Our guide Shamsiddin and our driver from the Uzbek side were absolutely amazing, they made our experience a 10/10. I really wish i had written down the name of our driver, he was one of my favorite people ive gotten to meet on my travels, he was an absolute legend. If you have a free day get your passport stamped and take this trip!
