'' (Tajik: Айни) is a small town in the Zeravshan Valley of west-central Tajikistan. Most travelers will zip on by this town, but it played an important role in the region's history.
By vehicle
Ayni is located just south of where the north-south M34 road meets the east-west A377 road.
The town is pretty small but divided in two by the Zeravshan river. The town can be walked pretty easily, although the bridge across the river is mainly for automobiles.
