Imam al-Bukhari Memorial Complex

The Memorial Complex of Imam al-Bukhari marks the tomb of the 9th-century hadith scholar in the village of Hartang, about 25 km from central Samarkand in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan. Sources place the distance at 25 to 30 km and the district as Payaryk or Chelak, reflecting administrative changes. Wikipedia gives coordinates of about 39.815 N, 66.9445 E. The site is an active place of pilgrimage with a mosque, mausoleum and grounds, and is typically visited on a half-day trip together with the Makhdumi A'zam shrine at Dahbed or the Konigil paper mill. Jahongir Travel lists a half-day tour from USD 22 per person for 6 travelers (about 264,000 UZS). Entrance fees and opening hours were not found in the sources, so phone a local operator such as Jahongir Travel (jahongir-travel.uz) before travelling. By taxi the ride takes 30-40 minutes. Dress modestly and expect to remove shoes inside prayer areas.
