A Sufi tour of Uzbekistan from Dubai is a kind of pilgrimage to the holy places where the great Sufis of the East lived and preached. You will start your journey from Tashkent, where the Hast-Imam religious center is located and the authentic Quran of Caliph Osman, written in the 7th century, is kept. Then you will go to Bukhara, which is also known as the "city of a thousand mosques". Here you will visit the most famous mosques and mausoleums, which are many hundreds of years old. You will also drive through several holy places in the vicinity of Bukhara, where the most famous saints of Uzbekistan are buried. Pilgrims from all over Uzbekistan and neighboring Muslim countries come here every year. The last point of your trip will be Samarkand! Here you will visit the magnificent monuments of the Middle Ages and the famous necropolis of Shahi-Zinda, where the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, Kusam ibn Abbas, is buried. A Sufi tour of Uzbekistan from Dubai is the best way to learn more about the role of Islam and its spread in Central Asia.
