Khakrez Shrine

 It's called the Ziarat-e Shah mosque, though what you see here isn't really the mosque but rather the shrine, the burial place, itself.  It's pretty sparse.  We went there during the second day of Eid and there was practically no one else.  Believe it or not, this is a place for tourism within Afghanistan.  But nearly all the shops were closed because of the holiday, except for a handful selling nuts and candy and cheap plastic prayer beads.
