About the place
This hazira, an open-air family burial enclosure, was built in the 16th century under the Shaybanids, wall to wall with the enclosure of Moh Sulton Khonim. You enter through a portal, follow a long passage that turns left, and climb steps to the raised burial area.
Above the crypt stand small rooms where pilgrims sat to recite the Quran, with a porch in front. The marble stone over Khoja Sa'd's own grave is lost, but three other carved marble gravestones remain.
Why go
- Carved marble gravestones
- Raised enclosure reached by steps
