Muslim religious buildings in Samarkand at the southern tip of Afrasiab . The name associated with the name of the mosque of the Prophet (nabi) Hyzr - the patron of travelers, the legendary owner of the "living water."
 
Hazrat Khizr Mosque - one of the oldest buildings, was destroyed by hordes of Genghis Khan. The mosque was restored in the 19th century. This architectural complex is located on a hill at the entrance to the city. There are wonderful views of the Bibi Khanum, the bazaar and the mountains in the south.
