Muborak Mosque
A listed historic mosque in the old town of Samarkand, a short walk from the Bibi-Khanym mosque and Siab Bazaar.
The domed tomb of Saray Mulk Khanum, Timur's senior wife, across the street from the great Bibi-Khanym mosque in Samarkand.
Saray Mulk Khanum, Timur's senior wife and a descendant of Genghis Khan, had this mausoleum built in the late 1390s; it was finished in the early 1400s as part of her madrasa, which has not survived. Her mother was buried here first, then Saray Mulk Khanum herself.
Over the following centuries earthquakes and neglect left the building in ruins, and most of its decoration was gone by the nineteenth century. It was rebuilt in the late twentieth century. It stands on Islam Karimov street opposite the Bibi-Khanym mosque, between the Registan and Siab Bazaar.
