Chor‑Bakr (also spelled Chor-Bakr or Chor Bakr) is an extraordinary memorial‑necropolis complex located about 5–6 km southwest of Bukhara, in the village of Sumitan. Over time, it has evolved into a serene “city of the dead,” combining sacred burial sites with spiritual and educational architecture . Built around the tomb of Abu Bakr Said, a 10th‑century great‑grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, the site gradually became the family necropolis for the Juybar Seyyids—renowned sheikhs and spiritual mentors in the region .
