The Shah Mansur Bazaar, also known as the Green Market, is the largest bazaar in the city center of Dushanbe.
This central market is the perfect place to gain an impression of local life in the city. It is a busy oriental market, where one offers everything your heart desires.
The wide selection of goods includes fresh fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, sweets, meat, cheese, and bread.
You can also buy ready-made dishes, or eat them on the spot. Plov, the standard dish in Central Asia, is prepared in stonewalled ovens.

Everywhere we see water and honeydew melons for dessert.
As on most markets of Asia, there is an immense variety of fresh spices.
Besides that, merchants offer household items of all kinds, clothing, shoes, and bags.
The people are very friendly and look forward to every attention you give them. Most people like it when you take a photo of them.
We talk to a vendor. He is a foreigner and speaks some German. All his relatives live in Germany and his mother always wants to persuade him to come to Germany. As an Uzbek in Dushanbe, he does not feel integrated. He only stays here because he is married to a Tajik woman and his business is registered in her name.
Measured against western standards, all the goods are very cheap.
