蘇拉曼－至聖之山雄距於吉爾吉斯的費干納谷地，並且形同奧什城的靠山。奧什是中亞地區絲路的重要交會口。超過1千5百年以來，蘇拉曼因為一直是旅行者的地標而被廣為尊崇並被視為聖山。在山上的5座頂峰與各處山坡上，有無數的古老聖祠和藏有石刻的岩洞，以及2座大部經過重建的16世紀清真寺。總數達101處的石刻遺址刻劃著人物、動物與幾何圖形，也被納入此處遺產地的範圍內。目前仍有17處聖祠仍被使用著，不過其它多處則已荒廢，其以步道互相連通並散佈在山峰四周。這些供人膜拜的處所，咸認具有治癒不孕症、頭痛與背痛的療效，且能讓人祈求長壽。對此山的崇敬混雜了前伊斯蘭宗教與伊斯蘭信仰的教義。此處遺產地也被公認是過去幾千年來中亞地區各地對於聖山崇敬的最完整例證。
Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain Kyrgyzstan dominates the Fergana Valley and forms the backdrop to the city of Osh, at the crossroads of important routes on the Central Asian Silk Roads. For more than one and a half millennia, Sulaiman was a beacon for travellers revered as a sacred mountain. Its five peaks and slopes contain numerous ancient places of worship and caves with petroglyphs as well as two largely reconstructed 16th century mosques. One hundred and one sites with petroglyphs representing humans and animals as well as geometrical forms have been indexed in the property so far. The site numbers 17 places of worship, which are still in use, and many that are not. Dispersed around the mountain peaks they are connected by footpaths. The cult sites are believed to provide cures for barrenness, headaches, and back pain and give the blessing of longevity. Veneration for the mountain blends pre-Islamic and Islamic beliefs. The site is believed to represent the most complete example of a sacred mountain anywhere in Central Asia, worshipped over several millennia.
