Getting There
You can get to the market by taxi, minibus, bus number 4, or on foot by turning from Rudaki Avenue onto one of the many side streets that leads to the market.
What to Expect
Mehrgon Bazaar is a main attraction of Dushanbe and offers an unparalleled sensory experience. The bazaar offers exotic produce from Tajikistan’s fertile orchards and farms, such as fresh and dried fruits, honey, famous Tajik spices, halva and other agricultural products.
History
The site where Mehrgon Bazaar is located, Surkhob Street, was known previously as the Green Bazaar, untill 2012 when the latter was demolished and a new bazaar was constructed nearby. The transition from the Green Bazaar to the new Mehgron Bazaar was at first not well received by Dushanbe’s residents.
Many didn’t expect it to be successful, especially since unlike its predecessor, this new bazaar’s location was located on side streets away from the city centre. But over time the side streets grew to become avenues thereby improving access and the visibility of the market to locals and visitors.
Facilities
There is a cafe on the third floor.
