- The beginning of the tour: tourists on the territory of Tajikistan: Dushanbe airport or North border – Penjikent/Samarkand - Visiting objects: Ancient settlement Sarazm – Mausoleum and Rudaki Museum; At once lunch Sarazm is an ancient town. It dates back to the 4th millennium BCE and is today a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sarazm was the first city in Central Asia to maintain economic relations with a network of settlements covering a vast territory from the Turkmenistan steppes and the Aral Sea (in the northwest) to the Iranian Plateau and the Indus (in the south and southeast). Rudaki composed poems in the‌ modern Persian alphabet and is considered a founder of classical Persian literature. As it seems, Rudaki was the first person to combine different roles that were yet distinguishable entitles in the 9th century royal court: musician, poet and declaimer/reciter, and copyist. The museum is of more interest, however, for its display of textiles and costumes, the frescoes found at Ancient Penjikent and the Neolithic tools from nearby Sarazm - Arrival to the 3rd lake; accommodation in the Hostel
