Iran Shiraz Tours

The Pink Mosque and Shiraz's Gardens

Morning light through the stained glass of the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque scatters color across its carpets, making early visits worthwhile before the tour groups fill the prayer hall. Eram Garden, laid out around a Qajar-era pavilion, is one of several Persian gardens in the city built to a strict geometric plan.

Poets' Tombs and the Road to Persepolis

Shiraz keeps the tombs of Hafez and Saadi as living shrines, with locals still stopping to read their verses aloud among the cypress trees. Most visitors combine a stay here with a day trip to Persepolis and the rock tombs of Naqsh-e Rustam, roughly an hour north of the city.
