The structure dates to the late 7th century AH. and the early 8th century AH. The building consists of a dome and a tall porch, the tomb of Sheikh is located beyond the porch.

The Sheikh’s tomb is very good. Since the time of the Ilkhanis, I have been restored, but still in place to work. As always, it was faced with a low reputation. The photo section is the most part of the description of the Sheikh and the tomb.
