5 days in Dushanbe – Dushanbe, Tajikistan
EXPERIENCE
“Monday” is the translated name of the capital of Tajikistan, ancient Dushanbe. From 1929 to 1961, the city was called Stalinabad, in honor of the leader of the Soviet Union, I.V. Stalin. At the beginning of the 17th century, a village appeared at the crossroads of Asian roads, where a bazaar was held on Mondays. As time passed, the village grew and soon turned into a district center, whose bustling markets were full of people and goods not only one day a week – and the name remained. The first written mention of Dushanbe occurs at the end of 1676.
Modern Dushanbe is a city where you can feel the breath of the fabulous East, and at the same time it is the cultural, economic, and political center of the country.
The highest state authorities of Tajikistan are in Dushanbe, including the residence of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan in the Presidential Palace. The highest flag in the world has been erected in Dushanbe, which is included in the Guinness Book of Records. The population of the city is more than a million people.
