On September 10 we left Samarkand for an overnight in a yurt and camel camp before proceeding to Bukhara. On the way to the camp, we stopped at the Hassan and Hussein Mosque at Debaland in the countryside, arriving just as services were ending. (According to our MIR guidebook, Khasan and Khusein were the grandsons of Mohammed, and some believe that three visits to this sacred mosque are equivalent to one pilgrimage to Mecca.) I got a photo of the imam and another elder leading the exiting crowd after services, and a couple more of the mosque interior and surroundings.
