  Zaravshan River flows on the territory of Central Asia. It is an ancient feeder of Amudarya River. In ancient times, the local people called the rive “Daitya”. The River feeds mainly by snow and glaciers. It crosses border of Uzbekistan, flowing through the territory of Tajikistan, then it turns the north-west, creating a unique oasis, where is located the fabulous city Samarkand.

Large left feeders Fandarya, Kshtut, Magian flow into the river, running through a narrow deep valley. Near Samarkand the River divides into two horns - Akdarya (north) and Karadarya (southern).
