Silk Roads: Zarafshan-Karakum Corridor by Els Slots

The Mausoleum of Mukhammad Bashoro is almost a thousand years old (built 11/12th century). It is a building that combines the function of a mausoleum and a mosque. The central cupola hall has extensions on both sides. The most outstanding feature of the Mausoleum is the arched portal or peshtak with glazed tiles, carved terracotta and brick stones. Since it has undergone very little renovation, the Mausoleum is one of the most authentic religious buildings along this part of the Silk Road. 
It is located along the Panjakent-Duschanbe highway, with a 10km detour to the village of Mazor. You need your own vehicle.
