Mousoleum Chasma Ayub

The mausoleum features four connected chambers aligned from east to west, each topped with domes of varying sizes and architectural designs.

Built in the 12th century by Karakhanid rulers, the structure underwent modifications during the 14th century under Tamerlane with contributions from Khorezmian craftsmen.

According to regional tradition, Prophet Job struck the ground with his staff at this location, creating a spring that provided water to the drought-affected population.

The building now houses the Museum of Water Supply, displaying artifacts including ceramic pipes, copper containers, and leather water bags from past centuries.

The central chamber exhibits an unconventional tent-shaped double dome, marking a departure from typical architectural patterns found in Bukhara.
