Chor-Bakr is a sprawling necropolis located a few kilometers west of Bukhara's center. It comprises a collection of mausoleums, a mosque, and a madrasah, all set within a peaceful walled garden. The site honors the Juybari sheikhs, a powerful Sufi dynasty that shaped Bukhara's religious life. Visitors can wander among the ornate tombs, admire the blue-tiled domes, and experience the quiet atmosphere. The main mausoleum features intricate tilework and a large courtyard, making it a place of both historical significance and architectural beauty.
