Jizzakh, Ancient trade city in Jizzakh Region, Uzbekistan.
Situated between Samarkand and the Fergana Valley, Jizzakh extends across a fertile oasis surrounded by mountains at an elevation of 378 meters.
The city originated from a Sogdian settlement named Dizak, meaning small fortress, and developed into a major trading post along the Silk Road network.
The Rashidov Memorial Museum contains artifacts from Soviet times, including diplomatic gifts such as a crocodile received from Fidel Castro.
Two universities and a multipurpose sports arena serve the population of 179,200 residents, while tree-lined streets create an organized urban layout.
The Iron Gate passage at the foot of the Turkestan ridge contains ancient inscriptions documenting centuries of travelers through this mountain corridor.
