It is an architectural complex of Qasim Shaykh (16 century) in Navoi city (Uzbekistan). The architectural ensemble of the mausoleum includes a mosque, a khanaka and two khazirs (open-air tombs).

That's interesting - so why is it called Qasim Shaykh? It would be great to know more about the khanaka and the people who are buried there. I'm into spiritual sufi history and the different orders. So these things are amazing for me.I aim to make a global map of all the khanaka and khazirs.
