Tourist Attractions in Dekhistan, Turkmenistan
Abu-Safar Akhmed Minaret
Dekhistan is home to both the crumbling remains of the Abu-Safar Akhmed Minaret and a mosque in the immediate vicinity. The well-known architect Abu Bini Ziyad was responsible for the construction of the minaret, which has a history dating back to between the years 1004 and 1005 AD. In this location, there are Arabic inscriptions that have been inscribed on the bricks. These inscriptions provide an account of the monument’s construction. At the very pinnacle of the minaret are sculptural patterns of all kinds.
Caravansary
The location of the Caravansary may be found to the south of the former Urgench village. Here, in this area, one may see the remnants of the three gates of Akabilan, AI-Kauz, and Nowur, which formerly served as the entrance to the city. The length of the monument, measured from north to east, is about 34 metres in length. It is located on a spreading area.
Shir Kabir Mosque
The Shir Kabir Mosque may be found near the northern part of the city of Misrian. The remains of various mausoleum structures can be seen among these ruins, and they date back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The Shir Kabir tomb, which is often referred to as the Mashat Mausoleum, is a monument that is kept in good condition. One of the most notable features of this location is a’mikhrab,’ which is a kind of well with its opening towards Mecca.
