The most interesting thing in this mausoleum is the museum of the history of water supply in Bukhara. This topic is very important for Uzbekistan in general and for Bukhara in particular, and deserves a more detailed and understandable museum.
The schemes of irrigation channels and houses (pools) are made intelligently. The photos about the drainage of swamps were amazing, were there swamps in Bukhara?? There are no explanations. The section about the construction of the canal from the Amu Darya in Soviet times was not developed at all, only photos. The scheme is completely incomprehensible, the inscriptions are only in Uzbek.
The history of the disappearance of the Aral Sea is intuitive according to the scheme, but much more information is needed! There is a long text in Uzbek that is not duplicated in either English or Russian.
The layouts are good, and so are the photos of the water carriers. There are wineskins and water jugs, which is great. The water level in the houses at the beginning of the last century is impressive.
But there is a great lack of detailed explanations. The museum is designed to be visited with a knowledgeable guide, this is wrong. The information should be available to any visitor.
Still, it's good that such a museum exists in principle.
An extremely old place and the atmosphere. There is a market nearby, where it is fashionable to buy almost everything you need. There is also a nice zoo nearby, but it's better not to go near it, it smells very strong)))))
An interesting building with a cone-shaped finish. Inside is the holy well of the Prophet Job (Ayub) and the water museum.
There is also a separate stand about the death of the Aral Sea.
One of the most mysterious buildings in Bukhara, I advise all guests of Bukhara to visit this beautiful historical place.

The mausoleum of Chashma Ayub is interesting for its historical component. According to legend, the Muslim saint Ayub, in a plea for help from the drought-stricken locals, struck the ground with his staff here, and a spring of pure spring water gushed out of it ("chashma" means "spring" in translation).in memory of this, the mausoleum was built. There are no burials there, only a spring that is considered healing. On the tour, you can learn about the history of Bukhara's water supply, but this is for an amateur.
The museum tells an exciting story. There is also drinking water from a well. It is very well maintained.It is said that this well was dug by a prophet Ayub. So I recommend that you try to drink this holy water.
At the entrance there is not a big shop, so let's say they sell suzanne , they say the water is healing because there is silver in the composition , but they say you can not drink a lot * you will become silver)
Hello. I live next to this mausoleum. This place is my home. My childhood was spent in these places. Tourists often visit and drink water from the well which is located inside the mausoleum. The taste of this water is not transferable.
A small museum in a building built under Amir Timur. We were given a short tour with a story about the history of the city's water supply, the system of communicating channels, the source of Job (you can try the water), it is written about it on a wooden panel, but I have a big question how it could end up on the territory of modern Uzbekistan.
Ayub Sultan is a symbol of patience! Allah tested him with illnesses , sores, but he endured everything, thanked Allah for everything .There was a drought in Bukhara at that time, there was no water, but Allah rewarded Ayub for his patience, he hit this place with his stick and a spring appeared there.Therefore, this mausoleum is called Chashmayi Ayub.
Be sure to visit this place if you are in Bukhara, according to legend, the prophet Job (Ayub) was here and, hitting his staff, the key (source) of water clogged.
This is the story,
You can visit here and see it all with your own eyes, plunge into that time for a minute.
To see how people lived and how they extracted water.
In general, it is very interesting!!!
A beautiful pleasant place. I drink water from the well all the time. There is a legend that the water there is medicinal. Treat all kinds of skin diseases.
A small, neat building. Inside, in addition to the spring, there are two halls with the history of the city's water supply and the road. The person accepting the payment gave us a brief tour.

An ancient well. The exposition shows how the Zeravshan oasis has changed over the centuries. Only here it becomes clear where the city in the desert came from.
The museum inside is very tiny, objects for storing and transporting water, photographs of ancient Bukhara, a map of the Aral Sea, where you can see how it was in the 50s and how it is now. The mausoleum was built in the 14th century under Timur in honor of Saint Ayub (Yova), according to legend, he knocked with a staff in the desert and water came from the spring. There is a well inside the building where you can get water. It tastes specific.
