Olim Dodkhokh Complex

Tajikistan


On cold Friday lunchtimes, dozens of older men with flowing white beards, turbans, upturned boots and swishing purple/green iridescent joma robes make their way to prayers at this mosque-madrassa complex opposite the bazaar. Though mostly a contemporary rebuild, its origins are from the 14th century.

The best view is from the upper storey of Mafsemi Chaikhana.
