Xazrati Dovud gʻori, Sacred cave pilgrimage site in Nurobod District, Uzbekistan
The cave system stretches deep into the mountainside, featuring natural rock formations and a steep entrance accessible by 1303 stone steps.
The cave became a refuge for Prophet David according to local traditions, leading to its transformation into a religious sanctuary many centuries ago.
Muslims, Christians, and Jews recognize this location as a site connected to Prophet David, making it a cross-religious destination for spiritual gatherings.
Visitors need to climb 1303 steps to reach the cave entrance, with local vendors offering refreshments and religious items along the ascending path.
Inside the cave, pilgrims can observe what local tradition identifies as preserved handprints and footprints attributed to Prophet David.
