Sultan Saodat Complex
Sulton Saodat majmuasi
The burial grounds of the Sayyid (sacred lineage) family, who ruled Termez for centuries, spanning the 10th to 17th centuries. Two rows of domed mausoleums face each other, with richly layered brick decoration.
The Sultan Saodat Complex lies about 7 km northeast of the city. It is the burial ground of the Sayyid (sacred lineage) family, who ruled Termez for centuries. The complex is arranged along a long courtyard, with mausoleums on both sides. They range from single-domed brick tombs of the 10th and 11th centuries to Timurid-era chambers with porticos, showing how Central Asian mausoleum architecture evolved over several centuries. Geometric brickwork, carved stucco and fragments of blue glazed tile are layered on top of one another. The courtyard also contains a mosque and a prayer hall, and the setting is quiet. Admission is about 20,000 sum. It is around 15 minutes by taxi and is often visited together with the nearby Kyrk-Kyz fortress and the Kokildor-Ata monastery.
