Shiraz is famous because of its orange and 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 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, citadel, and mosque, etc. A complex for the tranquillity of his citizens.

Then go to visit Ali Ebne Hamze Shrine as a new mosque to make a comparison between the old and modern mosques you have seen.

Tour of Shiraz without visiting Hafez and Saadi tomb is nothing. At night, a tomb in the center of the garden in the dark environment shines and the traditional music inside of the backyard plays with your spirit and gives you a sight to think deeply about the architecture of this tomb.

Overnight Shiraz.

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 the two.

Sepidan is surrounded by lots of apple, nut, apricot, and plum gardens that you can visit.

Yellow, red, and 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 free and inspired.

Also, Sepidan with its villages has a high capability of professional eco-tours. You can walk through the jungles to see the springs, waterfalls, etc like Sheshpir Spring, Margon waterfall, go hiking, and climb the mountain the Ronj Mountain.

The local people are welcoming, and this is the time for you to communicate with them in their houses that are filled with the smell of traditional foods and bread. Sleep in the local houses.
