Yazd

3 Days

Yazd is a city of high wind catchers, bicycles, and Qanats. Yazd is also known as "Daralebadeh". Yazd is one of the megacities of Iran and it is the capital of Yazd province located in the central part of Iran.

Yazd is the first adobe city globally, and after Venice in Italy, it is the second historical city. These two mentioned features are sufficient for persuading you to travel to this city. Geographically, from the north the city is limited by Meybod and Ardakan, from the east it is limited by Ardakan and Bafq, from the west by Isfahan, and from the south by Taft, Ardakan, and Mehriz.

Since the city is located in the desert region, it has a dry and hot climate. Yazd can be considered as a two-season city; a long hot season (from March until September) and a short cold season (from October until February).

Day One in Yazd

In the cool of the morning, we will visit the Silent Tower, which is the old Zoroastrian monastery, and then we will visit the Zoroastrian fire temple. At around noon, we go to Dolat Abad Garden to see its unique Windbreak and to refresh our souls in the coolness of the garden. Mohammad Taqi Khan was a great Khan during the Zand Dynasty and he was the ruler of Khans in Yazd. Mohammad Taqi Khan first made an aqueduct in the name of Dolat Abad. Then along the aqueduct, he made a mansion in the middle of a garden and called it Dolat Abad Garden. This mansion was where Mohammad Taqi Khan resided in. This complex consists of several buildings: an octagonal porch, a windward, Behesht Aien hall, Mirror Hall, the main entrance portal, and the portal on the south of the garden. There are a lot of plants in the garden which are as such: Pine trees, Cedar trees, grapevines pomegranate trees, and red rose bushes. One of the impressive features of this complex is the 33.8 meter windward, the world's tallest windward.
In the afternoon we set off toward the desert. "Everyone once enticing the charm of the desert, he will not let go until the end of his life." The late Austrian geographer and traveler Alphonse Gabriel, whose most famous travel book, entitled crossing the Desert of Iran, expresses this statement about the desert of Iran. We enjoy the pleasant sunset, fire tea, and desert entertainment with beautiful and memorable experiences. Overnight Yazd
