Itinerário
O Mercado Coberto Panjshanbe é uma das atrações mais famosas de Khujand. Panjshanbe significa quinta-feira. Em Dushanbe, negociavam às segundas-feiras e em Khujand às quintas-feiras. O bazar Panjshanbe está localizado no centro de Khujand e em frente a ele está o mausoléu do Sheikh Muslihiddin. O bazar consiste no pavilhão principal e em muitas lojas, tendas e lojas adjacentes. É sempre muito barulhento aqui, pois não apenas os moradores da cidade vêm fazer compras, mas também os hóspedes das aldeias vizinhas. A principal característica do mercado Panjshanbe é sua arquitetura e decoração únicas. A construção do pavilhão foi realizada em meados do século XX e foi concluída em 1964. O edifício do bazar combina elementos do império oriental e stalinista, e a decoração é harmoniosamente executada usando os estilos soviético e oriental.
Ao longo da história de Khujand, no centro da cidade estava sua fortaleza. Por 2500 anos, a fortaleza de Khujand se expandiu com a cidade, foi destruída pelos conquistadores, reconstruída novamente. Após escavações arqueológicas, verificou-se que a primeira fortaleza foi erguida nos séculos VI-V aC e consistia em uma muralha de aterro gradualmente convertida em grossas paredes de argila bruta. Além disso, além da fortaleza, havia uma muralha da cidade cobrindo 20 hectares. Durante o auge da Grande Rota da Seda, a fortaleza de Khujand foi reconstruída, assim como a muralha da cidade. No entanto, a cidade cresceu ainda mais e foi dividida em três partes: a cidadela, rabad e shahristan. Naquela época, a fortaleza de Khujand era considerada uma das cidades mais importantes da Ásia Central. No entanto, a fortaleza foi destruída pelo exército de Genghis Khan. Em 1219-1220. Em 1999, parte da muralha oriental da fortaleza de Khujan, que remonta aos séculos 8 a 10, foi restaurada.
Em 1999, parte da muralha oriental da fortaleza de Khujan, que remonta aos séculos 8 a 10, foi restaurada e construiu o Museu de História e das Tradições Populares de Arqueologia e Fortificação. Este museu contém utensílios domésticos, cerâmicas e ferramentas encontradas no local da escavação da fortaleza. No total, o fundo do museu contém 1.200 exposições, a maioria disponível para os visitantes.
Este grande conjunto memorial, localizado na parte histórica da cidade, foi erguido no túmulo de Muslihiddin Khujandi - o governante da cidade de Khujand e poeta que viveu no século XII. O xeque Muslihiddin era um milagreiro sagrado. A princípio, ele foi enterrado na vila de Unji (um subúrbio de Khujand), mas seus admiradores transferiram as cinzas do sheik para a cidade e ergueram um mausoléu neste local. Foi no século XII. Então o mausoléu era uma pequena câmara funerária de tijolos queimados, decorada com terracota. Este túmulo foi destruído durante a invasão mongol. No século XIV, o mausoléu foi reconstruído novamente. Hoje, o Mausoléu Sheikh Muslikhiddin é um conjunto arquitetônico constituído por uma mesquita, um minarete do século 19 (altura superior a 20 m) e o mausoléu do sheik Muslikhiddin.

My husband and I like to visit new countries. On our holiday to four of the Stan-countries, we decided to do a day trip to Khujand Tadsjikistan from Tasjkent. As Norwegian citizens we do not need a visa to these countries so the border crossing back and forth were easy. Just a little waiting on the way back to Usbekistan due to many people at the border. On this tour all the logistics went very well. We got picked up at the hotel in time at 0730 am. The drive to the border took exactly two hours. The border crossing took 20 min. On the other side the Tadsjik guide Shaxram and the driver waited for us. The drive to the city of Khujand took one hour. The logistics on the way back also went well. We left Khujand at approximately 3.30 pm. The driver in Usbekistan was very kind and polite and he was a clever driver. He waited for us at the border when we came back in the afternoon. During the drive we discussed fotball, as Norway just had beaten Brazil in the World Cup. But it was sad that his English was limited. The guide in Tadsjikistan was fluent in English and very knowledgeable. We visited all the places on the list and the Orthodox Church. The lunch was in a nice restaurant and we had a delicious pilaf dish with rice and meat. The drive from the border back to Tashkent took longer than in the morning due to the rush hour. We were back in the hotel at approximately 0745 pm. We truly can recommend this tour if you are interested in history and politics. We could ask a lot of questions to Shaxram and he could answer all of them. His driver was clever and drove us safely around in Khujand.
We loved our trip to Khujand from Tashkent. The pick up from our hotel was seamless. The car was clean and comfortable and Daniel, was a really good and safe driver. Once we crossed the border to Tajikistan our guide, Shahrom, found us and took us to our new driver, who was also great. Shahrom showed us around the city and taught us so much about Tajik culture and history. We had an amazing time learning, exploring and meeting friendly faces.
The journey started when the driver picked us up from our hotel in Tashkent at 7:30 a.m. By 10:00 a.m., we had arrived at the border between Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The border-crossing process was smooth and took only 15 minutes. Once we entered Tajikistan, we were greeted by our tour guide, who arrived with his car to drive us around the city. It took about an hour to drive from the border to the city of Khujand. Our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable, with an excellent understanding of the region’s history. Since it was a private tour, we were able to decide what we wanted to do and visit. We spent about four hours in Khujand before deciding to head back to the border. We reached the border at 4:00 p.m. and crossed back into Uzbekistan in another smooth 15 minutes. Finally, we arrived back at our hotel in Tashkent by 7:00 p.m. It was a wonderful trip, and I truly appreciated the hospitality of our tour guide. The people were kind and courteous. Two things to note: First, bring a Visa ATM card to withdraw cash. In Khujand, many establishments do not accept Visa credit cards. Secondly, don’t let the taxi drivers touting at the Uzbekistan or Tajikistan borders ruin your overall experience. This happens in many countries, and the borders are safe.
We completed a 12 day guided tour in Uzbekistan and thought it was good idea to take a day tour to khjand from Tashkent. It ended up a bad trip. First, there is really nothing new to see in Khujand. And secondly, the time spent on the road is too long. Thirdly, this day tour is way over priced based on living standard in these two countries. However, the tour guide and the drivers on both countries are friendly and helpful. I would not recommend to is trip to my friends.
I met my guide Hussein at the border. He was very polite and knowledgeable. Gave me a good overview about the history of Tajikistan and then details about Khujand. I had a lovely day. Luckily it was also Nowruz so I could observe some celebrations. He took me to a restaurant where I had a very tasty green salad. I still think about it. We finished the day with typical market. All together I can recommend the tour. Thanks Hussein.
Two important things; 1. It is a long ride from Tashkent on decent, but not good roads. We had a nice car and the driver kept the speed down on the way there. 2. Despite specifically stating admissions are included In the trip description, they are not. This matters because you have to change money at the border for this day trip. Credit cards were not accepted for admissions. The tour operators will not reimburse those admission fees. The drivers spoke no English but the guide, Hussein, was very good and knowledgeable. We did enjoy our trip.
A day trip to another country, crossing the border on foot and going through 8 (?) passport checks and an excellent guide to tell us about Tajikistan and Khujand . Hussein was an excellent guide - knowledgeable and helpful. Make sure you organise your visa for Tajikistan in good time for your trip!
The driving was safe-ish, and the border crossing well prepared. We were able to cross both ways with hardly any waiting, no visa and no cost (Norwegian passports). :-) The guide spoke a lot and was an experience in himself. He hardly understood any of our English but it somehow worked out, and we undertood most of what he said. Entrance fees are not included (even if it says so). You need some local currency for entrance and lunch. ATMs are available but the places mentioned didn't take Visa. All in all we had a great day!
Tour went generally smooth. Note that there you will be pick-up in your hotel and that ypu will cross the border. Your khujand tour guide will be waiting at the Tajikistan side if the border. Our tour guide Sha is good in history and have a lot of interesting stories to share.
A driver dropped me off at the border of Tajikistan close to Tashkent. I walked through the border and met my guild from Tajikistan, Hussein. He was very knowledgeable and informative. It was a great experience.
