It is located on the site of an ancient sanctuary. It was created for the worship of the moon, so the mosque is sometimes called Mokh, which translates as “moon”. The premises of the mosque have literally gone under the ground, but now restored to their former form. In ancient times, Jews were also allowed to perform rituals in Magoki-Attari. Because of this, the followers of Judaism from Bukhara had a special wish for peace when praying.
