Kogon District east of Bukhara holds the shrines of Bahauddin Naqshband and Sayyid Amir Kulol — key stops on the pilgrimage of the 'seven saints'.
Kogon District was created on 29 September 1926, abolished in 1963 and restored in 1964. It borders Bukhara and Vobkent districts and Navoiy Region's Qiziltepa District. Its administrative centre is the city of Kogon, which is not itself part of the district. The land is flat, averaging 222 m above sea level. Its highest point is Olchin hill on the Quyimozor plateau (252 m). The Bahauddin Naqshband complex is about 10 km north-east of central Bukhara.
The district has 32 archaeological and 29 architectural monuments. The most famous are the complex of Bahauddin Naqshband, founder of the Naqshbandi order (part of a UNESCO site since 2023), the shrine of his teacher Sayyid Amir Kulol and the tomb of Khoja Kabul Akhbor Vali. On 1 January 2026 the district had 88,000 residents.
