About
After Ak-Saray, Kok Gumbaz gives the Shakhrisabz route a different kind of landmark: not a palace wall, but a mosque within Dorut Tilovat where the dome, brickwork, inscriptions, and courtyard are close enough to read together.
Kok Gumbaz matters because it turns the Dorut Tilovat stop from a courtyard name into a visible mosque setting.
Keep this stop clear on the map and in the day plan — Blue dome, brickwork, and the Dorut Tilovat courtyard.
Agencies and travellers who need Kok Gumbaz as a readable stop — honest timing and a clear place on the route.

Place
The map pin marks this attraction so the stop stays readable in the day plan.
Why this place
Kok Gumbaz matters because it turns the Dorut Tilovat stop from a courtyard name into a visible mosque setting. The blue dome is the first signal, but the visit also depends on the entrance, brick surfaces, inscription band, and current access rules.
What you'll see
Kok Gumbaz is best understood through exterior views: the turquoise dome above brick walls, the entrance mass, and the wider Dorut Tilovat setting.
How to visit
Do not reduce Kok Gumbaz to one blue dome. Start with the exterior, read the entrance and inscription details, then connect the mosque back to Dorut Tilovat.

Timing, best hours, and how this stop fits neighbouring pins.
1–2 hours is a practical range for most groups. Keep the stop readable: one clear arrival, one clear exit. Place tone: “Blue dome, brickwork, and the Dorut Tilovat courtyard”.
Prefer when the light is soft and queues are lighter. That usually improves comfort, photos, and how the stop feels in the sequence around shakhrisabz.
Treat it as one clear pin on the map: arrive intentionally, avoid sandwiching it between two rushed monuments, and keep the next move short enough that the group still has energy.
