Teave

Kiired faktid: Üle 40 mausoleumi pressib kokku kitsale tänavale, igaüks kaetud siniste ja türkiissiniste glasuuritud tellistega. Hauakompleks kasvas välja 300 aasta jooksul ja iga valitseja püüdis eelmist ületada oma uhke hauakambriga.

Esiletõstmised: Trepi tipus asub Kusam ibn Abbasi haud, prohvet Muhamedi nõbu, kes legendi järgi ei surnud, vaid elab edasi maa all. Seetõttu nimetatakse paika "Elava kuninga hauaks" ja siiani on näha palverändureid jätmas tema mausoleumi juurde väikeseid sedeleid palvetega.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Bring a small flashlight to see the details in the darker burial chambers at the far end.
Photograph from the bottom of the stairs upward for the best picture of the entire alley with all the domes.
Dress covered over shoulders and knees, this is an active pilgrimage site and respect is expected.
Skip the middle of the day between 12-2 PM when the sun is directly overhead and creates flat shadows.
