Тоҷикистон / Roof of the World / Persian Heritage
The enduring spirit of Тоҷикӣ
The Pamir range in eastern Tajikistan is called the "Roof of the World" with peaks over 7,000m and some of the most remote, stunning landscapes on Earth.
Abu Abdollah Rudaki (858-941 CE), born in Tajikistan, is the founding father of Persian literature. His poetry laid the foundations for Ferdowsi, Rumi, and Hafez.
Tajik plov is a festive rice pilaf layered with lamb, carrots, garlic, and raisins -- the centerpiece of celebrations and the ultimate symbol of hospitality.
Tajikistan sat at the crossroads of the ancient Silk Road. Penjikent's 5th-century frescoes rival those of Pompeii in their artistic brilliance.
Named after Alexander the Great, this turquoise alpine lake sits at 2,200m surrounded by Fann Mountains -- one of Central Asia's most beautiful natural gems.
The Shashmaqam is a UNESCO-listed classical music tradition, a sophisticated system of six melodic modes performed at courts and celebrations for over a millennium.
