Shiraz is also one of the biggest cities in Iran. It is the provincial center of Fars province and is located in the Zagros mountainous region with a mild climate.

 

Geographically, from the west, the city is surrounded by Derek Mountain and from the north, it is limited by Bamu, Sabzpushan, Chehelmagham, and Baba Koohi mountains.

It should be said that Shiraz is one of the most beautiful cities of Iran that many titles are assigned to it, for example, "city of lovers" and it is due to the matter that Shiraz is the hometown of great poets like Hafez and Saadi. The city also has many historical and natural attractions that you will become interested in them. The people of Shiraz are warmhearted. Traveling to Shiraz can be one of your most memorable trips. 

 

Shiraz City tour

Let’s go visit Ghajar monuments. First, start with the Nasir-Al-Mulk mosque to catch the morning light. Then have some steps and walking in the Gode Araban Street in the old neighbors. Shiraz is famous because of the Sour orange trees and the smell of its blossoms, especially during spring. We call sour orange, Narenj in our language so this is the time to visit Narenjestan Garden with the many Narenj inside. Today we have a plan to walk down in the lane of history, so we go to the heart of the Zandie dynasty in the Vakil complex. One dynasty before Ghajar. Karimkhan Zand has established a Vakil bathhouse, bazaar, in Bazaar you will visit many Shirazi people who are shopping and selling, In Bazaar, you see many shops with many colors. A complex for the tranquility of his citizens. So now you have this chance to see all of them at the same time. At night, you will go on to visit Hafez tomb, a tomb in the center of the garden in which the dark environment shines and the traditional music inside of the backyard plays with your spirit and give you a sight to think deeply about the architecture of this tomb. Perhaps you will be interested to know this poet more as most of the international poets like Goethe is the follower of Hafez. Just look at Goethe’s grave and think about it. 

Sepidan

Today you can experience the North of Iran in the South of Iran with a green environment, the pleasant weather even in summer. Here you can get familiar with two different cultures at the same time, simple rural life next to Nomadic life, you see that these two tribes have remained for many years next to each other and some of them got married, so that’s why there are many things in common between them. Sepidan is surrounded by lots of apple, nut, apricot, plum gardens that you can visit. Yellow, red, orange leaves of trees, the rustling of leaves in the breeze, the roaring river, and the other natural sounds inside of the gardens make you feel safe and free.
