🕌 A Sanctuary of Silence – Bahouddin Naqshband Complex, Bukhara, Uzbekistan

📍 Bahouddin Naqshband Memorial Complex, Qasri Orifon village, 12 km southeast of Bukhara, Uzbekistan The Bahouddin Naqshband Complex is a spiritual heart of Bukhara — a peaceful ensemble of mosques, minarets, and ancient trees dedicated to the great 14th-century Sufi master and founder of the Naqshbandi Order, Bahouddin Naqshband.
