Khujand is one of Central Asia's oldest cities, dating back over 2,500 years along the banks of the Syr Darya river in northern Tajikistan. Founded by Alexander the Great as Alexandria Eschate (Alexandria the Furthest), it served as a key trade hub on the ancient Silk Road. Today, Khujand is renowned for its grand Panjshanbe Bazaar, the historic Khujand Fortress, and its peaceful riverside park, blending vibrant culture with a rich history.
