Hazrat Khizr Mosque

It was a fascinating experience visiting the Hazrat Khizr mosque in Samarkhand. The mosque is impeccably maintained and an impressive site which overlooks part of the city. It is located a short distance from the world famous Registan and Shah-i- zinda site. The mosque contains the tomb of Islamic prophet Khizr and was erected on the site of an ancient mosque in the mid 19th century. No admission ticket is required. Dress code is in full force as this is a mosque. Definitely Woolworths a visit if you’re in the area.

Before going to Siab bazaar we had a quick visit to Hazrat Khizr Mosque where last president was buried. It’s beautiful from outside and it is from inside too. The view to the city is marvellous. You should visit it especially as it is free of charge.

Very satisfied with my visit to the Hazrat Khizr Mosque. Nice architecture, very respectful area. Includes the Mausoleum of the Islamic prophet Hazrat Khizr. Great view over Samarkand as well, especially during sunset. And free of charge, as all of the sightseeings in the city should be. Definitely worth a visit.

A great place on the way to Afrosiyab museum. Good for photography during sunset . What I like about Samarkand is the way all their top tourist attractions are done with accessibility in mind. You can walk in from Registan to bibi khanum mosque. From there it’s the Hazrat Khizr mosque and afrosiyab museum. Or you can go to Shahi Zind, all in walking distance.

A beautiful mosque with unique architecture, located within walking distance from Shah-i-Zinda and Bibi-Khanym Mosque.

Supposedly the resting place and Mausoleum of the revered figure in Islam, Hazrath Khizr, the mosque around the grave is built in his honour. The ceilings and Dome have a beautiful design egraved on them. The tomb is in the same compound as that of the President's Tomb. A great view balcony is here which gives some great photo op's with Shah-i Zinda in the background

A beautiful mosque built a little uphill with great views. The entrance is free of charge and the view from the balcony is great. There isn't much to see inside. As it is a place of worship, it is recommended to dress appropriately.

Visiting the Hazrat Khizr Mosque was a truly memorable experience. The mosque's location on a hill offers stunning panoramic views of Samarkand, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The architectural design is elegant and captivating, with intricate tile work and beautiful decorations that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region. The mosque is named after the revered Islamic figure, Khizr, and it holds a special spiritual significance. The interior is beautifully adorned with traditional motifs and calligraphy, creating a sense of reverence and tranquility. The well-maintained gardens and pathways around the mosque add to the overall charm of the place. The staff and caretakers were friendly and welcoming, providing insightful information about the history and significance of the mosque. It's a place where you can not only admire the architectural beauty but also feel a deep connection with the spiritual heritage of Samarkand. I highly recommend visiting the Hazrat Khizr Mosque to anyone traveling to Samarkand. It's a place of beauty, history, and spirituality that leaves a lasting impression on your heart and mind
