Khujand, Historical settlement in northern Tajikistan
Khujand stretches along the Syr-Darya River, surrounded by mountains and orchards, forming a major urban center in the Fergana Valley region.
The settlement evolved from Alexandria Eschate, founded by Alexander the Great in 329 BCE as the northernmost outpost of his empire.
The Panjshanbe Market, among Central Asia's largest covered markets, demonstrates the city's continuous role as a trading center since ancient times.
The Khujand State University accommodates over 10,000 students, providing education across multiple disciplines in northern Tajikistan.
The Kayrakkum reservoir extends 55 kilometers upstream from Khujand, providing water activities and fishing opportunities throughout the year.
