This mausoleum is of the 14th-century poet and sage Pakhlavan Makhmud, who was proclaimed a Muslim saint since he belonged to the Kungrad Dynasty.
I’d say that this is very much a must-see place in Khiva. From the outside, the mosque is beautiful enough (particularly with its green dome). It’s inside, however, that this site is particularly interesting. Stepping inside the mosque you get a real sense of reverence, and it’s fascinating to be able to see the series of tombs inside and to sit a moment beneath the main dome in contemplation. You have to pay extra to enter the mausoleum even if you have the pass that allows you to access all of the attractions in Khiva, but I’d certainly say it’s worth it.

The Madrasah was built in 1851-1854 by the order of Khiva ruler Muhammad Amin-Khan and was named after him. The building of the Madrasah of Muhammed Amin-Khan has five domes and flank towers. The facade is decorated with rich glazed bricks and wooden doors with ornamental carving. Madrassah of Muhammed Amin-Khan is one of the main sights

Really worth a visit. Colourful and full of wonderful items. A good place to shop for those gifts and souvenirs. Not tacky. Good quality and no hassle bargaining.
