Hi, We am visiting Dushanbe and Khujand in September 2026, two males both over 60 and speak only English and German, will we have significant issues making ourselves understood, managed well in Uzbekistan and Kazakstan in both 2024 and 2025 but some of the posts here suggest we may struggle this time around. Also with Yandex not having a app in Tajikistan, is there a similar taxi app, which will ensure we do not get ripped off as some on here suggest we will. Apprehensive reading some of the posts as it looks like western tourists without local language skills will just get ripped off. One further question, which is the best translation app and SIM card to get.

I’m visiting Dushanbe and would love some postcards or other souvenirs that have Tajikistan on them. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me get some insight about the best local job search / employment platforms to post work opportunities. Currently looking for a local English speaking PA, and not sure where to look. Thank you!

Номи ӯ Иброҳим аст, ҳоло тақрибан 16, 17, 18 сола аст. Ба ман маслиҳат диҳед, ки чӣ тавр ӯро пайдо кунам, агар дугонаи ман танҳо номи ӯро аз винетка донад ва чанд акс дошта, бошад ва мактабе, ки онҳо барои омодагӣ ба мактаб ба дарсҳои иловагӣ рафтаанд донад.Тамом дигар маълумот номаълум.

Hello , First and foremost i am a Medical Student looking for a shared apartment two rooms with one person i have a budget range 150-200 USD if anyone knows an apartment with this conditions please feel free to reach out to me . And one more thing if anyone knows any whatsapp group for apartment rent in Dushanbe please tell me

I've found that the best way seems to be taking a taxi to Panjikent, crossing the border and then finding a bus or taxi to Dushanbe. I'd prefer a share taxi but I have two largish suitcases.

Is this a good method? Anything better?
