What To Expect

National Museum of Antiquities

The Museum is proud to own artifacts of the Eneolithic and Bronze Age from the agricultural settlement of Sarazm, site included in the UNESCO World heritage list. The finds dating from the Hellenistic period coming from the Oxus Temple, excavated at the site of Takhti Sangin on the banks of the Amu Darya River are unique. A portrait of Alexander the Great in the image of Hercules, the Akinakes scabbard, a plate depicting hunting scenes and other items made of ivory are masterpieces of world art. Finds from the Oxus temple are an illustrative example of the synthesis of two cultures the local and ancient Greek. The wall paintings from ancient Penjikent (5th – 7th C), presented in the Museum are included in the Golden Fund of world culture. Buddhists from many countries worldwide make the pilgrimage to one of the most striking sights of the Museum, the "Buddha in Nirvana", almost 13-metre statue made of clay, which is today one of the largest ancient monument of Buddhism in the world.

located in the center of Dushanbe is the heart of the capital and entire Tajikistan. Its name is translated as “Friendship Square”. However, locals call this place “monument of Ismail Somoni” or “Park Somoni” as there is a monument to the founder of the Tajik state Ismail Somoni.

The monument embodies main symbols of Tajik statehood: crown and scepter adorned with seven stars.

Kamila picked me up from Hyatt. She was very a kind, thoughtful and took time with enthusiasm to address my questions. We took taxi to museum to learn history and than I enjoyed the walking tour to see the main sights. I appreciated her energy and knowledge. I would recommend using her.

I've had the pleasure of having Kamila as my guide. She's a historian with a vast knowledge of the country's and region's rich history, and above all that she's a really nice and friendly person. The tour will take you to all the most prominent and noteworthy places and sights in Dushanbe. I really couldn't think of a better guide and tour through the city!
