Tour Details
We'll begin our adventure by picking you up from your hotel in Yazd at the indicated time. What attractions await us on this private tour of this historic Iranian city?
The first place we'll visit is the Jameh Mosque of Yazd, a 12th-century monument with the tallest minarets in Iran, decorated with deep blue tiles and kufic script.
Next, we'll visit the Amir Chakhmaq Complex, with its iconic three-story façade adorned with arched niches. It was once the epicentre of public ceremonies and is surrounded by a bazaar filled with handicrafts and traditional delicacies.
Afterwards, we'll explore the historic centre of Yazd, walking along narrow passages between adobe houses featuring windcatchers, a solution used to cool homes in the middle of the desert.
The route will continue to the Fire Temple of Yazd, a sacred Zoroastrian space where an eternal flame has burned for more than 1500 years, key to understanding ancient religions in the city.
