About Dushanbe
Dushanbe is the green capital of Tajikistan, set in a valley beneath the Hissar mountains, with tree-lined avenues, teahouses, bazaars and mountain roads.
Dushanbe lies in a valley in western Tajikistan, with snow-capped Hissar mountains to the north, and takes its name from the Persian word for Monday, after a market that once met there. Wide avenues lined with plane trees and fountains run through the city, and Rudaki Park is named for the medieval Persian-language poet Rudaki. The Rohat teahouse, with its tiled and carved interior, is a favourite meeting place.
