Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Mausoleum of Mir Said Ali Khamadoni is a magnificent place to visit if you are in the area. It was refurbished about 50years ago to its original grandeur and it is marvellous to see. There is a donation box for the mausoleum, take off your shoes and keep the noise to a minimum as the other people will be doing prayers in some places and it really is a beautiful place of solitude and peace.

The mausoleum is the burial place of Mir Said Ali Hamadoni, a famous Persian Sufi scholar. The mausoleum was refurbished by the Iranian government, and as a result it looks like a brand new building. It's an easy place to access, as it's right in the centre of Kulob City.
There is a museum dedicated to Hamadoni right next to the mausoleum, with a cheap entrance price. There is also a donation box at the entrance to the mausoleum. Non-Muslims are quite welcome inside the mausoleum. Inside is a very quite place, and some people are there to offer a prayer. Take off your shoes, and leave your children and loud friends outside.

This is a religious site for those who believe in Folk Islamic ideas about praying to the "spirit" of a past Islamic leader. Weekly, women can be found circling the tomb, often praying for healing by touching the outer walls.
Having lived in this city for a few years, I know this about this site:
- The Site was renovated (about 1996) by the Islamic Government of Iran when Rafsanjani was president.
- Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani was a Sufi who wrote extensively and was a religious leader to spread his religion.
- As a Sayyid, he was a direct descendant of their prophet. Today Hamadani, Iran is a Shia city, and he wrote a booklet about the 70 virtues of Ali - so leaned strongly toward being a Shia.
- On the right side of his tomb is a stone from Kashmir and displays where he ruled. He is known for writing 20 commandments about how to deal with Hindus; thus, the area "Hindu Kush" was under his control.
- Previously, one of the caretakers told me that when the mausoleum was built they gathered all the other bones in the grave area and buried them under this stone.
- Inside the tomb lays a few graves, most likely his family.
- Don't miss the building left of the Mausoleum, which protects the ancient kiln from the 8th century B.C. This discovery made the city over 2700 years old. One can view the kiln from the open windows.
- This site is considered "sacred" for Kulobis and so much so that when they redid the road in front of the tomb for the visit of the President (for the start of the Railroad 1999), the Tajiks would not cut down the large Sycamore trees on the Boulevard. So, out of fear, Russians from the base arrived and pulled down the trees with their military equipment.

Dear Visitors! The mausoleum has been renovated NOT by Iranian Government. Please stop spreading wrong information to people who don't have the right one.
In 1994, former Kulob Governor, Mr. Toshmad Nazirov was the first who has renovated the entire mausoleums area by his own initiative and knowledge just before the huge celebration of the anniversary of Mir Said Ali Hamadani. At that time Iran and Tajikistan didn't have any political relations yet. And Iranians had no idea of location grave of M.S.A.Hamadani.
In this celebration in 1994, the ancestors from links of M.S.A.Hamadani has been warmly invited from Kashmir, Pakistan. Later, they have continued with another celebration in Kashmir, where Governor Mr.Nazirov has been honoured to participate.
In 1995, Mr.Nazirov became the first Ambassador of Tajikistan in Iran. Thereafter he had visited the city of Hamadan to visit the first origin home of Shah-e Hamadan.
You are mostly welcome to visit Tajikistan, Kulob anytime! However please stop spreading wrong and unclear information!!!!!
