Khoja Ahrar Complex
Xo'ja Ahror majmuasi
The burial ground of Khoja Ahrar, a 15th-century Naqshbandi Sufi leader. The facade of the 17th-century madrasa is covered in colourful tiles, and it is an important place of worship in the south of the city.
Khoja Ahrar was the most influential Naqshbandi elder of the 15th century. His burial ground lies on the southern outskirts of the old city. The 17th-century Nadir Divanbegi Madrasa has a main entrance covered in coloured tiles. Together with the mausoleum, a mosque and a pool, it forms a peaceful complex. Locals come here to pray, and few tourists visit. Entry is free, and women need to cover their heads. It is about 5 kilometres from Registan, a 15-minute taxi ride. It can be visited on the same day as the Aksaray and Gur-e-Amir mausoleums in the south of the city.
