The Khazarta Khizr Mosque is a classic representative of the architecture of Samarkand. Since the mosque is built on a hill, the view from the ivan is simply gorgeous. The Bibikhanum Mausoleum and the Zhuma mosque are visible in the palm of your hand, so I'm sure there will be a lot of photos. The minaret and facade are decorated with mahogany and brickwork. The mosque is decorated with colorful paintings and carved ganch. The tomb of I. Karimov is located nearby.
A must-see, there are many attractions and this is one of them. Be sure to take a guide. It's very interesting to tell and you look at it differently when you know the story.
The Prophet Khizr is considered the patron saint of travelers, so tourists like to visit this mosque. For locals, the grave of the first president of Uzbekistan Karimov is located on the territory of the mosque. Until the 8th century, a Zoroastrian temple was located on this site, then the first mosque appeared. The modern building was built in the 19th century on an old foundation. The mosque is located on a hill, so it offers a beautiful view from above of the Bibi Khanum Mosque, the eastern Siab bazaar and the surrounding area. The area around the mosque is very pleasant for walking, there are many beautiful wooden carved gazebos. It is noticeable that this place is well looked after, there are a lot of guards on the territory.
A very beautiful and unusual mosque. If you are going to Bibi Khonim, do not be lazy and take a walk to it. It's not a long walk at all, 5-7 minutes. It offers a wonderful view of the panorama of the city.
