MIZDAKHAN NECROPOLIS

This immense necropolis, more than two thousand years old, houses mainly Muslim tombs, but also Nestorian tombs as crosses were found engraved on some of the buildings. Most of the mausoleums are in ruins, some have been summarily renovated, such as those of Khalif Erdjep and Bugar Jumart Kassab, while others are waiting for the government to release a budget to resume work. The mausoleum of Nazlimkhan, built in the 14th century, is half buried underground. A must-see visit on the road to Nukus!
