A burial place for the Temurids and the Barlas aristocracy

The crypt of Amir Temur lies in the grounds of the Dor us-Sadat complex, which is a majestic structure and known as one of the rare monuments of Amir Temur’s time.

 It is thought that the tomb of his son, ‘Umarshaikh (1356–1394), is located in the same territory. A sepulchral stone of ‘Umar-shaikh's son, Sa‘id Ahmad Mirzo (1391–1429), found not far from here, supports this theory. The necropolis was obviously a burial place for the Temurids and the Barlas aristocracy, the family from which Amir Temur originated.
