About the place

Abu Abdullah Muhammad al-Hakim at-Termizi was a theologian and Sufi writer whose works were read across the Islamic world. Local people call him Termez Ota, the father of Termez, and his grave has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries.

The mausoleum was built over the grave and later extended with a mosque and other rooms. Inside, look for the finely carved decoration around the tomb. The complex has been restored and landscaped, and it is busy on Fridays and religious holidays.
