Visite de la ville de Douchanbé et forteresse Hissar
Description
Découvrez la nouvelle capitale du Tadjikistan Douchanbé et l'ancienne ville Hissar. Aujourd'hui, vous vous rendrez à la forteresse d'Hisar (VIIe-XVIIe siècles), située à 35 km de la ville. Il y a des zones fortifiées et une citadelle sur ce site historique. La forteresse servait de résidence à l'émir de Boukhara. Son emplacement était sur une haute colline et les meurtrières des canons protégeaient un mur de 1 mètre. A l'intérieur de la forteresse, il y avait un jardin, et en face, il y avait un marché animé avec un caravansérail et des boutiques. Après vous visiterez les principaux sites touristiques de Douchanbé : le musée national, la mosquée, le bazar, la place de l'indépendance.

Itinéraire
Notre tour de ville commencera par une visite de la forteresse Hissor, l'un des principaux sites historiques du pays, à environ une demi-heure de route de la ville. La forteresse a été construite il y a environ 3000 ans, à l'époque où les routes de la Grande Route de la Soie passaient près de Hissar. La forteresse Hissar est l'un des monuments architecturaux les plus anciens et les plus grands d'Asie centrale. C'est aujourd'hui un musée en plein air d'une superficie de 86 hectares, situé sur le site d'une ancienne colonie. Elle est située à 30 km de la capitale du Tadjikistan. Pendant longtemps, la forteresse Hissar servit de résidence au gouverneur de l'émir de Boukhara. À ce jour, seules deux tours cylindriques et des structures autour de la porte principale, formant un arc en ogive, ont été construites sur les instructions de l'émir de Boukhara au XVIe siècle.
Le musée est fier de posséder des objets de l'Énéolithique et de l'âge du bronze provenant de la colonie agricole de Sarazm, un site inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Les découvertes datant de la période hellénistique provenant du temple d'Oxus fouillées sur le site de Takht-i Sangin, au bord de la rivière Amou-Daria, sont uniques. Le point culminant du musée est le « Bouddha au Nirvana », une statue en argile de près de 13 mètres, qui est aujourd'hui l'un des plus grands monuments antiques du bouddhisme au monde.
Après avoir visité le Mehrgon Bazar. Mehrgon est un nouveau marché alimentaire moderne situé à Douchanbé, la capitale du Tadjikistan, mis en service en septembre 2014. La superficie totale du marché est d'environ 30 000 mètres carrés.
Continuez vers la place Dusti située au centre de Douchanbé, le cœur de la capitale et de tout le Tadjikistan. Son nom se traduit par « Place de l'Amitié ». Cependant, les habitants appellent cet endroit « Monument d'Ismail Somoni » ou « Parc Somoni » car il y a un monument au fondateur de l'État tadjik Ismail Somoni. L'imposant monument Ismail Somoni, haut de 13 m, est l'attraction emblématique de la place Dusti. Une belle arche (plus de 43 m) monte le monument.

Amazing tailored to taste city trip. Highly recommend for solo travelers. Very flexible schedule and can alter the itinerary to your expectations Special thanks to Umeda (tour guide)
Very enjoyable day with Dilik. We had a terrific day engaging with the history, architecture, and culture of Tajikistan. It’s a super tour that allows travelers to see a cross-section of Dushanbe monuments and the Hisar (Hissar or Hisor) fortress and madrasa. We were also able to squeeze in the Imam Abu Hanifa Cathedral Mosque, which was exquisite. Dilik is a professional and took great care of us. We recommend this tour for anyone staying in Dushanbe and wants to see and learn more about regional history.
The Hisor Fortress is a site that must be visited if you go to Dushanbe. It is not far and you can go by taxi at a better price than what I paid for this excursion, which was a total disappointment. The fortress is small and then I visited some points in the city; in my case, I was traveling alone and the guide was hitting on me, which meant that I did not feel comfortable and I canceled the Iskanderkul excursion with this agency the next day. I find it very unprofessional for a guide to hit on a traveler; I would not recommend the excursion because it is cheaper by taxi and it is not difficult at all.
The city is clean and beautiful with lovely parks and flowers (late May) but who wants to see only old statues and memorials?? Many Cafes and restaurants but unfortunately it was Eid holiday that day and everything was closed , couldnt even exchange money as banks were closed. Restaurants dont accept cards or dollars, only local currency. we had to borrow from our kind guide. The museum visit was boring!! Most Tajik museums are not well presented although the content is pretty ok. Toilets are horrible although you pay to use- dirty and stinking!! Hissar fortress is a good place to visit ..but not in summer!! the best thing about Dushanbe are the friendly locals!
To contact the tour company use phone number n whatsapp then they are responsive Tour itself was fantadtic with Nigita as guide
It was a good day trip and it was well organized. The driver cum guide, Mr.Hakim had planned it well .
Dilik was my tour guide and gave me a very detailed overview of Dushanbe and Hisor, while showing me the main highlights of both. He was on time and drove safely. Overall a great intro to Dushanbe. The next day I also took a transfer to Samarkand with them which went smoothly. Recommended!
Thank you so much for your review!
Dilik was a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Tajikistan and the city so that in a short time I learned a lot. His English was perfect and his driving safe. If I were to come back to Tajikistan, I would definitely book another tour with him.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the tour and learned about the history and culture of Tajikistan in such a short time. I’m really glad you felt comfortable with the driving and communication as well. You are always welcome back, and I would be happy to show you more of beautiful Tajikistan next time. Safe travels and hope to see you again!
Great tour. Definitely worth doing. My guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Tajikistan and was very informative. It’s a great tour.
I really had a great day with Dilik who knew every details of every corner we’ve visited, I had to learn a lot about the country and its history. We started by visiting hissar fortress and then went around Dushanbe. He also took me to a nice local place for lunch where I have tried Kurutob. I really recommend this day trip !
