The city location shifted on several occasions because of changing course of Syr Darya on which it depended for water. Sauran is among only few cities which survived Mongol Onslaught. As different empires came and went, Sauran adapted itself well becoming capital of Mongol White Horde and later it became military fortress under Tamerlane.
