In this necropolis lies the double tomb of Abu-Bakhr Saad and Abu-Bakhr Ahmad, the descendants of Mohammed. The whole is made up of a mosque, a khanaka and a madrasas, which have the particularity of being built in the same alignment, facing a necropolis. From 1560 to 1563, Abdullah Khan raised this monumental ensemble for members of the Djoubaïri Sufi sect (or khodjagon), a branch of the order of Naqchbandi. The founder of the sect, Khodja Islam Djoubaïri, who died in 1563, was Abdullah Khan's spiritual leader. In the centuries that followed, many nobles in Bukhara were built at the tombs near the tombs of the saints, and a veritable necropolis was drawn around the streets. The enchevêtrement of tombs and the ruined pishtak give the whole charm a very special charm. This impressive architectural ensemble has been the subject of one of the latest renovation programmes in the Bukhara region, completed in 2001.
