It is worth coming in the early afternoon, when the sun lights up the brick pattern of the southwestern facade from directly in front. In winter, almost no one comes here; in summer, the deep inner courtyard offers a cool refuge from the midday heat.
Budgettips
The facade with its special brick pattern can be viewed completely free of charge from the outside, and you can see most of the sights here from the outside. Its inner courtyard is usually closed to tourists, but with a ticket for the neighboring carpet museum (about 20,000 sum) they sometimes let you in.

Om
Snabba fakta: Byggnaden från 1100-talet var en gång ett zoroastriskt tempel, sedan en synagoga, innan den blev moské. Dess namn betyder "den underjordiska moskén", eftersom ingången ligger mer än 4 meter under dagens gatunivå.
Höjdpunkter: Tegelmönstret som dekorerar moskéns sydvästra fasad är så omsorgsfullt utarbetat att inte ett enda murbrukslager syns bland de 800 år gamla lertegarna. I den 10 meter djupa utgrävningen under ingången vittnar hedniska fruktbarhetssymboler och ett väldigt 4 meter långt djurskelett om byggnadens flera tusen år gamla sakrala förflutna.
Insidertips
- Look for the 12-meter-high carved wooden columns on the facade: they have blackened over the centuries, but their decoration is still sharp today.
- To the right of the entrance, at the base of the wall, you can see ancient Sogdian carvings in a small recess.
- Do not approach from the main entrance, but start on foot from the Lyab-i Hauz pool: in the narrow alleyway, the sunken facade suddenly appears before you unexpectedly.
- From the terrace of the teahouse opposite, you can take a perfect photo of the entire mosque in the afternoon light.
