Hazrat Khizr Mosque

The mosque is dedicated to Khizr, a figure of Islamic tradition linked with travellers and water. A mosque is said to have stood here since the early Islamic period, but the present building dates mainly from the nineteenth century.

Its covered porches have carved wooden columns and brightly painted ceilings, a good example of later local craftsmanship. A small mausoleum of Islam Karimov, the first president of Uzbekistan, stands next to it.

From the terrace you can look across the road to Bibi-Khanym and the bazaar rooftops.
