About the place
A khazira is an open, walled burial court, and this one was built in the 19th century inside the Chor Bakr necropolis, the family cemetery of the Juybari sheikhs west of Bukhara. It faces the complex's khanaka and is entered through a modest portal with a double-leaf gate made of elm.
Inside are two small rooms, a place for reciting the Quran and an ayvan open on two sides; there are no marble gravestones, and historians cannot say who is buried here. The walls and the rooms beside the gate were restored after independence.
Why go
- A quiet corner of the Chor Bakr necropolis
- Carved elm gate and open ayvon
- Easy to combine with the rest of Chor Bakr
