One side had a door, three sides had windows with little spots to sit. Inside, at the tomb, pilgrims received a blessing.

Some of the visitors circled the building, touching and praying at various points.

We just circled and admired the patterned bricks, and rather than a blessing, went inside for a happy little chat about being from Australia.

It may have been easy enough to get to Aysha-Bibi by minibus, as they will happily drop you off as they go by. We were not quite in the mood to wait by the roadside for a return trip to Shymkent, possibly watching multiple full vehicles whizzing by. So, we decided to take the easy option of getting there by taxi.

While not a large building, the beautiful terracotta bricks with various patterns made the time and effort worthwhile.

Although extensive restoration was performed in the last 20 years or so, it is reportedly true and accurate to the original 11th or 12th century structure.
