Mehrgon Market
Бозори Меҳргон
Dushanbe's largest indoor produce market, with dried fruit, spices, bread and fresh fruit sold under a blue-domed building.
Mehrgon Market opened in 2014, replacing the old Green Market as the city's main produce market. Its exterior features traditional Tajik patterns and a blue dome. The ground floor is divided by category into zones for dried fruit, nuts, honey, spices, dairy and meat. Dried apricots, raisins, pistachios and dried mulberries are the most typical products, and vendors usually allow you to taste before you buy. The upper floor mainly sells household goods and clothing. It is a good place to buy souvenirs and experience everyday local life, and prices can be bargained down a little. Entry is free. The market is busiest in the morning, and some stalls close on Mondays. It is in the northeast of the city centre, about a 10-minute taxi ride away.
