Termiz is the southernmost and hottest city Uzbekistan at the Amu Darya.
background
Dynamic cardsThe city, which looks back on a long history, was devastated in the 17th century and only rebuilt as a garrison under Russian rule from 1897. The ancient city center is about 6 km north of Karshi (Marshutka No. 15, dir. Termiz Ota). The modern place, architecturally essentially a Soviet city, was in the last decades the base for the occupying troops of different nations, whose politicians believed that it was near Afghanistan having to attack.

The endpoints of the M39 (from Karshi) and M41 highways meet in Termiz. The latter leads over Sariosiyo in the Tajik Capital Dushanbe.
From / to Afghanistan
The connection to Afghanistan takes place via the now grandiose “Bridge of Friendship” (37 ° 13 ′ 40 ″ N, 67 ° 25 ′ 42 ″ E), which the Amur Daya (Oxus) east of the city Hairatan overstretched. The land border crossing between Afghanistan-Uzbekistan, which has been little used since the occupation troops withdrew, is about seven kilometers east of the city and open to pedestrians and vehicles during the day.
Uzbek border station
You reach the Uzbek checkpoint Mangusar, by taxi (bargain hard) from the central bell tower. A wrong one too Marshrut, Due to the constriction in the minibuses used, it is difficult to use them with luggage. The final stop is at the militarily secured checkpoint, where a passport check takes place. The actual check-in can be reached after a good 1 km, which must be covered on foot or on a paid shuttle bus (special price for foreigners).
The Uzbek customs control is strict - probably also because of the underemployment of the bored customs officers. Baggage is screened and searched. Bag and body searches are carried out in the back room. The export of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited. As in the times of the GDR, vehicles are checked over pits using an under-mirror.
A separate passport control follows. After that, after about 500 m on foot, you come to another control post in front of the bridge, on which there are two more post positions.
Afghan border station
The border town of Hairatan, which is nothing more than a dusty truck stop and transshipment point, can be reached by (collective) taxi from Mazar-i-Sharif either from the west side of the shrine or from the “bus station” a good five kilometers outside. The fare in Oct. 2014 was US $ 20 per vehicle or US $ 5 per passenger. There are a few taxis waiting behind the border post, and the owner of the only shop there changes dollars at an extremely bad rate in Afghani, but if you come from Uzbekistan, it is advisable to go a few hundred meters to the "place," a long, dusty street village for fairer ones Prices to go.
The Afghan passport control is, as everywhere, extremely superficial. Personal data are handwritten in a book, luggage checks for foreigners are practically non-existent. You will receive a routing slip that has to be handed over to the guard. On the local side, the border post is secured by soldiers and a splinter protection path. There is a clean toilet by local standards.
mobility
The city center is the Independence Square with a monument to Khakim-at-Termizi. The main street Al-Termizy ko‘chasi runs from north to south through the city center. The train station is at the north end. In the direction of the city you will find the archaeological museum after approx. 400 m along the road. Directly opposite is an extensive city park, in which an extensive artificial lake is used for swimming in summer. Otherwise there are typical Soviet attractions.
There is little public transport, the places worth seeing are comparatively far apart, so that renting a taxi on a daily basis makes sense, especially for small groups. The local marshrutkas are exclusively 7-seater Isuzu Minibuses that are not suitable for taking luggage with you.
