However , these days the Sultan Ali Mausoleum is among the most visited tourist sites in Turkmenistan, mainly due to the vicinity of the mausoleum of the great Sufi and the founder of the Kubrawiya Order – Najmuddin-Kubra, a place of pilgrimage of Muslims from all over the world. The Sultan Ali Mausoleum is located not near, but just opposite it, and is connected with the famous mausoleum with a common courtyard, forming a single ensemble.
