Dushanbe

Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan.

Situated at the confluence of two rivers, Varzob and Kofarnihon, Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan. Although archaeological remnants dating to the 5th century BC have been discovered in the area, there is little to suggest that Dushanbe was more than a small village until the early 20th century.

Tajik Air had its head office on the grounds of Dushanbe Airport in Dushanbe. Somon Air has its head office in Dushanbe.
