While in orbit over central Asia, an astronaut aboard the International Space Station took this photograph of Fayzabad. The city, the capital of the Badakhshan Province, lies in a mountainous part of northeastern Afghanistan at an elevation of roughly 1,200 meters (4,000 feet).

The city is situated along the Kokcha River, which flows northward within a deep river valley surrounded by the Hindu Kush Mountains and eventually discharges into the Amu Darya River.

« Ayy Yorum Biyo » by the legendary Tajik singer Muboraksho. 

In 2009 the Iranian group Kiosk covered this song in the Iranian dialect               ( « Yarom Bia » ) with the help of the Sufi artist Mohsen Namjoo. The group preserved the Tajik origins of the song and paid tribute to Muboraksho by keeping the lyric « از بدخشانمه ... ( ...from Badakhshan ) » and featuring clips from Soviet director Sergei Parajanov’s 1969 film « The Colour of Pomegranates (Цвет граната) » in the music video.
