This is one of the must-visit historical sites in Tashkent. In the square, you first see the Tillya Sheikh Mosque. This is a relatively new mosque. The interiors of the mosque are beautiful. Once you have visited the mosque, walk out and behind and you reach the huge Hazrati Imam Square. We went there in the evening and the entire square was filled with children flying kites which was a very pretty sight. On the far end of the square is the Barak Khan Madrasah which is worth a quick look. Also in the square is Moyie Mubarek Library Museum which has the world's oldest Quran. There is a hefty fee of UZS 10,000 to visit the library.

This was our visit sightseeing stop on our tour of Uzbekistan. We came in the mid-afternoon on a hot summer day and found the place relatively empty. We spent the most time seeing the historic copy of the Qur'an, and we viewed other buildings mostly from the outside. We purchased some unique Qur'an stands from a vendor inside the madrasa, though I'm pretty sure that we overpaid. The large Islamic Civilization Center will be worth visiting once it's open, provided visitors are allowed to enter.

One of my favourite things to do in Tashkent, this beautiful complex is stunningly beautiful. Hazrati Imam Square is vast and the beautiful Mosque is just beguiling. If you have time you can pay a little centra to see the world's oldest Koran. I was here before in early 2023 in cold spring weather, this time it was blue July skies and searing heat. Lovely place this one, plenty to see as you stroll around including the striking minarets.
