Rules in force · 8Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut w…Mehrgon Bazaar aisles are crowded and uneven
- Central Asia ↗Keep every hotel registration slip or its e-registration record until you leave Uzbekistan and Tajikistan; border officers can ask for proof of where you slept and fine gaps.
- Central Asia ↗Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut with politics and demarcation deals; confirm the exact post is open to foreigners the week you cross.
- Tajikistan ↗Check entry rules on the official e-visa portal only; many nationalities need an e-visa, and the Gorno-Badakhshan (Pamir) region needs an extra permit.
- Tajikistan ↗Carry Tajik somoni in small notes; markets, taxis and tea houses are cash-first, and cards work mainly in hotels and larger shops in Dushanbe.
- Tajikistan ↗Land borders, including those with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, have been closed or restricted at times: confirm the current status before you plan an overland leg.
- Central Tajikistan ↗Mountain roads close in rain and snow and are unsafe at night: leave early and let your hotel know your route.
- Dushanbe ↗Do not photograph government buildings, the presidential complex, bridges, police, the airport or military sites; ask before you photograph anything official.
- Dushanbe ↗Mehrgon Bazaar aisles are crowded and uneven: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never into the market.

Know before you go
- The mosque is named for Yaqub Charkhi, a 14th–15th century Sufi scholar from the Naqshbandi tradition (check the details locally if they matter to you).
- A working mosque, not a museum: come as a guest and follow the staff's lead.
- It sits in the north of Rudaki Avenue, close to the Rohat tea house, so it pairs naturally with lunch.
