Chasma Ayub - Holy Spring of Job

In the days before Bukhara even existed, a millennium before Islam began, the prophet Job came to the Zerafshan Valley and witnessed a great and terrible drought. As people perished of thirst around him,
Job struck the dusty earth with his staff and a cool source of sweet spring water brought salvation. The Chasma Ayub, the Spring of Job, commemorates this site
