Transportation
Transportation in Tajikistan relies heavily on shared taxis and buses. For long distances, especially on the Pamir Highway, hiring a 4WD vehicle with a driver is a popular option. Domestic flights connect major cities but can be subject to weather conditions.
Specialty cuisine
Tajik cuisine features hearty meat dishes, often served with rice and bread. Plov is the national dish, a pilaf made with rice, shredded meat, carrots, and onions. Tea is deeply ingrained in the culture and is often enjoyed throughout the day.
Etiquette and Tipping
- Tipping is not widespread in Tajikistan, but it is always appreciated for good service. In high-end restaurants, a service charge may be included.
- Greetings often begin with a handshake, with the right hand placed over the heart as a sign of respect. Handshakes are common between men and between women, but between a man and a woman, it is customary to wait for the woman to extend her hand first.
