About the place
Emir Abdulahad Khan died near Karmana in January 1911 and was buried beside the Qosim Sheikh khanqah. His son and successor, Emir Alim Khan, then built this square courtyard tomb of fired brick around the grave.
You enter from the east through a gabled doorway with a marble inscription above it, pass a short domed passage and come out into a courtyard with a wooden porch. The building was restored in 2000–2001 and again in 2017, and it sits in the south-west part of the Qosim Sheikh complex.
Why go
- Tomb of the second-to-last emir of Bukhara
