The grave that Tamerlan reserved for himself near his sons remained forgotten for a very long time and was rediscovered by chance in the 1940s. Its extreme sobriety is the opposite of the mausoleum in which he finally rests, the Gur Emir of Samarkand, and was more suited to his desires: just a tombstone engraved with prayers in a small, cool and silent crypt, the walls of which also bear inscriptions engraved in stone. It is one of the most interesting places to visit in Sharisabz, having been spared by the reconstruction.

La tombe elle même est très simple, petit espace voûté avec quelques gravures et les pierres tombales et sépultures de deux hommes inconnus. Cette simplicité peut paraitre surprenante quand on voit le splendide portail du palais de l'Ak Saray, mais correspond pourtant à Timour qui... campait dans les jardins de ses palais, ceux-ci étant surtout fait pour montrer la puissance de son empire.
