The Saif ed-Din al-Boharsi Mausoleum and the Bayan-Quli Khan MausoleumIn the settlement, called Fathabad, to the east from medieval Bukhara, in the past was vast religious complex. The initial core of the complex was the grave of Saif ed-Din al-Boharsi (1190-1261) - very popular poet, sheikh, and theologian - who lived in thirteenth century. The followers of the sheikh al-Boharsi have built up at this area of rabad (rabad - an outskirt) many dormitories (khanakas) for dervishes, who lived there on donations of the Kubravi Sufi order members. The Fathabad settlement later had joined the city.

The Chagatay ruler Bayan-Quli Khan had expressed a wish to be interred near by respected burial place of al-Boharsi, and it is there that he is buried. In 1358, the Mausoleum of Bayan-Quli Khan  had appeared there. The extant mausoleum of Saif ed-Din Boharsi dates from the end of 14-ht century.

The Saif ed-Din al-Boharsi Mausoleum together with the Bayan-Quli Khan Mausoleum (on Bukhara map Buyan Kulikhan Mausoleum) are an admirable architectural ensemble. However, these monuments make even more great interest because of their religious-historical and cultural importance.
