This tour will take you to the most important Sufi pilgrimage sites, which will take you off the beaten path and to some of the more unique and interesting sights in Uzbekistan. Start in Tashkent, with the Khast-Imam Complex, and then visit the several mausoleums and memorials in the area around Tashkent. Continue your journey in Bukhara, a spiritual city that’s filled with madrassas, mosques, and mausoleums. Some of the most famous sights are located just outside Bukhara, including the mausoleum of Bahauddin Naqshbandi, founder of the Naqshbandi Order. Samarkand is home to the famous Shahi-Zinda necropolis, an alley lined by intricately-decorated mausoleums. At the top is the most famous of the monuments, the final resting place of one of the Prophet Muhammad’s cousins. Next stop is Termez, and though the city has a long Buddhist history, it’s also home to the mausoleum of Al-Hakim at-Termizi, who was a religious leader, scientist and the founder of a dervish order. Finish your tour back in Tashkent with unforgettable memories of the holiest sites in Uzbekistan.
