About Khujand
Khujand claims to be the world's oldest city, founded by Alexander the Great; the city sits on the Syr Darya River controlling north-south Silk Road trade. The Fortress and Museum document the city's layers of Persian, Greek, Silk Road, and Soviet history. Khujand remains commercially vibrant and less touristy than Uzbek counterparts.
