Sultan Saodat Ensemble

Uzbekistan


The restored Timurid-style Sultan Saodat ensemble of monochrome mausoleums won’t impress you if you’ve been to Samarkand, but it makes a fun trip combined with nearby Kyrk Kyz. Buried here are members of the Sayyid dynasty, which ruled Termiz from the 11th to 15th centuries.

By road the ensemble is about 10km northeast of Termiz centre.
