The Mausoleum Of Al Hakkim Al Termezi

Al Hakkim Al Termezi was a Sufi saint, a jurist and writer, who died in AD 859. The current mausoleum is the latest version to be built on the site, starting around the 10th century. The place is now a holy pilgrimage site.

The devotees trickle in.

Design-wise, the mausoleum is standard Silk Road era fare, tan brick, central dome.

The mausoleum is divided into chambers, an intimate side room devoted to Termezi's tomb.

Interior view of the central dome. The grounds around the mausoleum are expansive and include a modern entrance gate with a bit of an Arabian Nights fantasy wall.

Noted! The complex is right on the Uzbekistan country border. A sign on a fence behind the mausoleum reminds visitors of territorial limits. Good notice. Beyond the sign, Afghanistan.
