Mausoleum of Rabiga Sultan Begim
Рабиға Сұлтан Бегім кесенесі
The mausoleum of Rabia Sultan Begim, daughter of Ulugh Beg and wife of Abulkhair Khan, with a small, elegant blue dome, located just south of the Yasawi Mausoleum.
Rabia Sultan Begim was the daughter of the astronomer-ruler Ulugh Beg. In the 15th century she married Abulkhair Khan of the Uzbek Khanate. The original mausoleum was built at the end of the 15th century and collapsed in the late 19th century. It was rebuilt in its original form in the 2000s. Its blue ribbed dome echoes the main structure of the Yasawi Mausoleum. It stands on the lawn south of the Yasawi Mausoleum and is either free or included in the reserve’s combined ticket. It is a 2–3 minute walk from the Yasawi Mausoleum, and visitors often photograph the two mausoleums together.
