Bukhara, Uzbekistan
About this attraction
The memorial complex of Bahauddin Naqshband is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in Central Asia. It stands about 12 km northeast of Bukhara, around the grave of Bahauddin Naqshband (1318 to 1389), the Sufi master whose name the Naqshbandi order carries.
The complex grew over the centuries around his grave, with mosques, a khanqah (a Sufi lodge), a courtyard pool and a cemetery. Local pilgrims come in large numbers, especially on weekend mornings and on religious holidays.
Visitors can walk the courtyards, see the grave and the mosques, and learn about the place of Sufism in the history and culture of Uzbekistan. Modest dress is expected.
