Termez

Located at the border with Afghanistan along the Amu Darya River, Termez contains Buddhist monasteries and medieval Islamic mausoleums spread across its territory.

Established in 498 BCE, Termez developed as a significant Silk Road center until Genghis Khan's forces destroyed the original settlement in the 13th century.

The Termez Archaeological Museum displays artifacts from multiple civilizations, including Kushan-era sculptures, ancient coins, and Buddhist religious objects from different periods.

Visitors can reach the archaeological sites by local taxis, with full-day excursions costing approximately 23,000 som for transportation between various locations.

The Qirq-Qiz Complex features a 9th-century fortress with distinctive architectural elements connected to regional stories about forty female warriors.
