Al-Hakim at-Termizi Memorial Complex

Hakim at-Termiziy majmuasi

The mausoleum complex of Hakim at-Termizi, a 9th-century Sufi sage, and Termez's most important pilgrimage site, known for its exquisite carved terracotta panels.

Hakim at-Termizi (c. 820–869) was one of the most revered Sufi theologians in Central Asia and is regarded as the patron saint of Termez. The mausoleum complex lies on the banks of the Amu Darya, beside the old Termez site. Its core consists of burial chambers expanded in stages between the 11th and 15th centuries. The carved terracotta panels and marble tombstones added in the Timurid period are exceptionally fine. Nearby are a mosque, a prayer hall, and a newly built garden and museum. This is the first choice for local pilgrims. Dress modestly. Women are advised to bring a headscarf, and shoes must be removed before entering. Admission is about 20,000 sum. The site is about 10 km from the city center, around 15 minutes by taxi, and it can be visited together with Fayaz Tepe.
