Shovot District

A district in northwestern Khorezm named after the 17th-century Shovot (Shohobod) canal, with ancient sites such as Kat Kala and Vayangonbobo.

Setting and history

Shovot District was created on 29 September 1926. It borders Qo‘shko‘pir to the south, Urganch to the southeast, Yangibozor to the east, Gurlan to the northeast and Turkmenistan to the north, northwest and west, covering about 460 km². Its centre, Shovot, lies on the left bank of the Shovot canal 40 km from Urgench.

The canal gave the district its name: according to the sources Anusha Khan had it dug from the Amu Darya above Xonqa fortress in 1681–1682, and people called it Shohobod. The population was 186,700 in 2026; there are cotton-ginning and textile plants, and passenger trains run from Shovot to Tashkent.

What to see

Archaeological sites at Vayangonbobo (1st–4th and 9th–14th centuries) and Kat Kala (1st century BCE), the 15th-century Vayangonbobo mausoleum and a symbolic tomb of Yusuf Hamadani. Central Shovot has a park named after the celebrated singer Komiljon Otaniyozov.
