We also took a horse-drawn gaddi for half a mile along a dirt road to the village Gazar-Gah, to visit the Shrine of Khwaja Abd Allah honoring the Sufi saint and poet Khwaja Abdullah Ansâri. He lived 1006 to 1088 and the memorial was built during the Timurid period.

While in Gazar-Gah, we explored some "back alleys" and met friendly people, curious about the strange visitors.
