    "Known as one of the most beautiful palaces anywhere in or around Uzbekistan, the Tomb of Ali at Shakhimardan is located 1,500 meters above sea level, so it looks out over the territory that surrounds it. Nestled into the mountains of the Alai Range, the Tomb looks like something out of Tolkien as imagined by Peter Jackson in the Lord of the Rings trilogy."
