Things to see and do Soumitan

In this necropolis is the double tomb of Abu Bakhr Saad and Abu Bakhr Ahmad, descendants of Mohammed. The complex consists of a mosque, a khanaka and a madrasah. From 1560 to 1563, Abdullah Khan had this monumental complex erected for the members of the Jubairi (or Khojagon) sect of Sufis, a branch of the Naqchbandi order. In the centuries that followed, many nobles of Bukhara had mausoleums built near the tombs of the saints, and a veritable necropolis grew up around the alleys.
