The Baha ad-Din complex is a cult ensemble located in the suburban area of Bukhara. The complex served as the center of the Naqshband dervish order. Its head, Sheikh Bahauddin Naqshband, died in 1389 and was buried near the village of Kasri Arifon near Bukhara.

The Samanid mausoleum is located in the historical urban nucleus of the city of Bukhara, in a park laid out on the site of an ancient cemetery.

In Bukhara’s historic center, Po-i-Kalyan is an architectural complex built around one of Uzbekistan’s best-known landmarks. The name means “At the Foot of the Great One.”

The complex includes the 12th-century Kalyan Minaret, the Kalyan Mosque, and the Miri-Arab Madrasah. Rising about 45 meters, the minaret is distinguished by fired-brick ornamentation.

Po-i-Kalyan remains an important part of Bukhara’s cultural heritage, connecting the historic center with the city’s role along the Great Silk Road.

Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum is located near the Samani Mausoleum, in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Its name means Job's well, due to the legend in which Ayub visited this place and made a well by striking the ground with his staff. The water of this well is still pure and is considered healing.
