       Chashmai Ayub   It is believed that the construction of the Chashma-Ayub tomb dates back to the 12th century.  According to legends, one of the prophets of the Bible - Job (Job) hit the ground with his staff while passing through this waterless part of Bukhara - as a result, a spring of clean, healing water appeared here.  In the 14th century, Khorezm craftsmen brought by Amir Temur during one of his campaigns built a building over the spring and well, and gave the cone-shaped dome above the high traction device in the well a characteristic shape for Khorezm.  Compared to them, the famous Chor-Minor mosque can be called a newly built building - it was built in the 19th century.  In this mosque, four low minarets and domes are blue in color, which gives the mosque a unique look. It is common for oriental architecture to use ponds with artificial water bodies not only for practical purposes, but also for a more comprehensive decoration of the city.
