This garden is a must see one whenever you travel to Shiraz. The best place for sure is Farvardin and spring time when all those amazing trees and plants are green. Although the main building is closed to public but even looking at one side of this amazing Persian style building is fabulous. After visiting this garden, you can walk through the Main Street and at the end of Sarvenz alley, you can enjoy Paloode or Faloode Shirazy at “ Baba Bastany” ice cream shop which has different branches in many areas of Shiraz.
You cannot enter the main building of Eram Garden and you can only enjoy the outside view of it which is of course very beautiful and artistic. I guess they have not repaired inside structure or it is in a bad shape. There are variety of different trees in the garden with name tags. This place too has the soul soothing vibe of Shiraz flowing within it.
Last day visited Eram Garden So Beautiful and if wanna go eram garden then visit evening time …
They had a great restaurant and gift shops inside. Beautiful view and trees.
Great historical landmark, home to one of of the influential families of the later 1800s. Alot of elaborate Persian architecture with lots of engraved pillar, mirror room and antique furniture.
Beautiful garden with a large hose and plenty fruit trees.

Tomb of Hafez is in the north of Shiraz. Unfortunately it is always crowded but it's beautiful and worth it . When you are inside the tomb, don't forget to look at the roof. Magnificent.
The ticket price is cheap for Iranian. There are few different areas there,You can walk through each one and feel the positive energy.

A beautiful traditional bazaar with many things to discover. From spices to souvenirs you find many things. Carrot juice with ice-cream is a must there
It was beautiful. It was quiet on Sunday, November 19. I suggest you go if you like nature
Vakil Bazaar in Shiraz is one of the most famous traditional and historical markets in Iran. This market, which was built by the order of Karim Khan Zand, is now located in the center of the city and is considered one of the must-see places in Shiraz. Vakil mosque and historic bath are also located next to this market. Few people experience a trip to Shiraz in their life without visiting Vakil Bazaar
In the past, all commercial activities, buying and selling of domestic and foreign goods and exchanges were all done in the cells of this market. In fact, at that time Vakil Bazaar was like the real heart of Shiraz, where all business affairs took place. Vakil Bazaar has been registered in the national register under the number 924 of the country's historical monuments
Vakil Shiraz market is now a place to sell various Iranian and imported goods. The most prominent products that are sold there are all kinds of Iranian hand-woven and machine-woven carpets, cloth and traditional ornaments. In fact, most of the main parts of the market today are in the possession of carpet sellers and fabric sellers. Sarai Moshir is also one of the parts of the market that should not be missed; In addition to the beautiful architecture of this part of the market, you can buy all kinds of handicrafts and traditional Iranian ornaments with good quality from this part of the market
Usually, the bazaar shops start their work from 9 in the morning and in the first half of the year they operate until around 10 at night and in the seasons of the second half of the year until around 7 at night. Also, some shops may not be open on Fridays.

This place was pretty cool, but they did ask us to wear a scarf.It's a great spot to relax and take in the beauty. You can even dress up in traditional clothes for some awesome photos. Overall, a unique experience
That was so pretty 🥺
That was one of the best experience for me!!
I loved it🤍👀

It had a certain peace and I think it was the prettiest place in Shiraz and if you once come to Shiraz you should visit Tomb of Hafez.
Walking down this Bazar will fill you nostril with the aroma of spices and herbs! The sight of Termeh and carpets in small shops will take you back to the time, where caravans delivered the goods!
Persepolis is a captivating historical site, offering a fascinating window into the past. And holds a unique place in history.
Needless to say, It's a place where history and beauty come together, making it a truly cozy and inspiring destination.
Its impressive architecture and intricate details make it a must-see destination for history enthusiasts and travelers.
Don't forget that this place closes at 5 p.m

Beautiful place when I visited in 1999. Photos taken from 6x6 slide photos scanned this year.
Hafez Mausoleum known as Hafeziya, Shiraz, Iran, in memory of the famous Persian poet Hafez.
The city of Shiraz is like a dream land with historical places and a very amazing past. Many famous poets lived in this city.
This is the precious poet of Persian language named Khwaja Shamsuddin Muhammad bin Bahauddin Hafiz Shirazi, who was born in this city in 727 AH. Hafez died in this city after 65 years.
This person's poems are very famous even in western countries and many of her poems are translated and read by them. Hafez is called the founder of Persian poetry and 20 seals are named after this poet. This special day is when all lovers around the world cherish it.
Although Hafez died in 792, her tomb was built in the following years. For the first time, a person named Mohammad Yaghmai decided to build this tomb. This person was the ruling minister of Fars at that time.
April is the best time to travel to Shiraz and visit the sights of Shiraz. because at this time the orange trees have blossomed and their smell has filled the whole city. The fifteenth of Ardibehesht month is also considered Shiraz day.
The cost of visiting Hafiziyah: for domestic tourists and for foreign tourists is 50 tomans.

This archaeological site has a vast area with plenty of ancient ruins inside. Definitely worth visiting and spending a couple of hours there.
Beware of the enchanting effect of the place! You could spend some time mesmerized by the beauty of it, lifting your spiritual senses high up. The mosque and the shrine were decorated in accordance with what the name stands for "The King of Lights". It is kind of a smaller area similar to the one in Qom (Fatemeh Masumeh's mosque+shrine). The best thing is they assign the tourists with personnel that informs you of the place and the people named after it, which is a service we'd very be pleased to have in Qom as well. :) Be mindful that if you're a female tourist, the personnel in the security makes you wear "Chador" (full cover hijab), but it has a great feeling to it.
Another good spot in Shiraz to visit. Located directly at the main road. It's walkable if you are staying nearby District 8.
What's interesting is that you will find yourself looking at the ceiling most of the time, because it is so beautiful. Sit down at one corner and just start the wall ceiling around you.
I recommend visit during the evening time. Then, head out to grab some snacks nearby the streets. It's also walkable.

One hour away from the city of Shiraz, we see the capital of the Achaemenid(pars) Empire, one of the largest structures left over from 2,500 years ago, the glory and majesty of that ruler ship can be seen in this place, and it can also be seen in the works left on the columns and walls of Persepolis. I see your country and human rights carved on the stones, it is highly recommended to see this place and feel the masterpiece of the engineer of that time.
Eram Garden is one of the best attractions for nature lovers, flowers, trees and various plants, elegant and beautiful architecture and finally a short break and enjoying nature.
I would suggest this is one of the most beautiful and interesting Bazaars in Iran. Not as big as the ones in Tehran and Tabriz. But many cute stuff and delicate collections that you could only find them together here.
One of the most beautiful hoses I've ever seen, you have to visit this place if you visit shiraz
Worth to visit!!! Jahan Namah Garden is the oldest garden in Shiraz which is known as the Universal Garden. It is located in the north of Shiraz just a few steps far from Hafez. The architecture is in the style of other Persian gardens having a mansion in the middle surrounding by green tall trees and eye catching flowers. The mansions and the sidewalks in different sections of the Jahan Nama Garden date back to Qajar Era. Recommended!!!
A must to see!!! Probably the most celebrated Persian poet, whether among Iranians or literature enthusiasts from around the world, is Khaje Shams al-din Mohammad known as Hafez. Tomb of Hafez is locally called Hafeziyeh. The current mausoleum was designed in 1935 by Andre Godard, a French architect, with the help of some Iranian architects. It consists of an octagonal pavilion structure topped with a hat-shaped dome. Highly recommended!!!
A must to visit!!! Qavam House also known as Narenjestan-e Ghavam is a traditional and historical house and garden in Shiraz, built between 1879 and 1886. Due to abundance of sour orange trees it is called Narenjestan. Narenjestan building has been a place where ordinary people went for administrative purposes and public meetings as well as meetings among Qajar dignitaries and nobles were held there. The building has been rehabilitated once by Ebrahim Qavam and has been decorated with mirrors, paintings, tilework, plaster work, and inlay. It is an architectural feat of Qajar period. Highly recommended!!!
A great place for relaxing and breathing fresh air while walking among lots of plants and flowers beside an historical magnificent building. Its recommended to visit this garden on late April and first half of May.
One of the iconic places in shiraz, it was built more than 300 years ago in Karim Khan zand reign. The technics that was used to keep the weather inside warm is amazing.
There are several mannequins representing people of that era. You should buy tickets to visit this place.

The group of palaces of Takht Jamshid is located in a wide area surrounded by the “Rahma” mountain on one side, and ends with the “Morodesht” plains on the other. These large royal palaces were built in the vicinity of Parse. The Greeks called it Persepolis. Work began on the construction of Takht Jamshid during the reign of Darius I, around the year 518 BC.
At first, high foundations were prepared, and then the “Apadana” hall and the main stairs were built on them, as well as the “Tijr” palace. After Darius died, he was succeeded by his son, Khashayar Shah, who built the Hall of Hadish and proposed the project of building a hall with a hundred pillars. After him, Ardashir I sat on the throne and completed the construction of this hall.
It is worth mentioning here that these palaces and halls were built on foundations and pillars that were made of large, harmonious rocks that sculptors carved in the mountains themselves. The palaces of Takht Jamshid were built on a land of 13 hectares. Takht Jamshid was equipped with thermal systems and air conditioners, which provided the internal spaces with necessary heat in the winter, and in return, in the hot summer days, it provided a cool and moderate atmosphere.
The plains of Marvdasht, as well as the very high ceilings of the palaces, the halls and spacious spaces, the open doors, and the large number of windows in them, all of which helped provide a mild atmosphere in the summer. As for the winter, the walls were built of bricks and bricks, and the layers of plaster, in addition to the long thick purple curtains, formed a thermal insulator that prevented the penetration of the Persian cold into the halls and spaces.
The roofs covered with timber also helped to warm the surroundings. Moreover, the water delivery network and waterways existed in Takht Jamshid. Excavations at this archaeological site revealed underground networks for water delivery and crooked waterways with a length of more than two kilometers.
The art of Achaemenid architecture is an art that mixed with the styles of Babylonian, Assyrian and Egyptian architecture, and what was widespread in the Greek cities in the Asia Minor region and among the peoples of Urartu, but this art has been developed independently of other architecture arts by adopting wonderful artistic models and creations stemming from an Iranian spirit wealth. The aim of the Achaemenids in constructing such majestic buildings and buildings was to highlight their great royal power to the world.
Through the excavation work conducted in 1312 AH. U On the northwestern side of the foundations of Takht Jamshid, about forty thousand clay tablets were found in the shape and scale of prayer dust, on which phrases were written in Elamite script. After reading these Elamite tablets, it turned out later that they are documents that talk about the costs of building the palaces of Takht Jamshid.

My ancestors was related to Darrius and I visit Persepolis for first time. It was amazing that I saw that palace those statue of ancient and Achaemenid empire soldiers. If you focus on statues of soldiers you will see they are different in beards and hats and weapons they grabbed in their hands. So i had been full of passion and honor to see my ancestors had such an empire and soldiers in the world.
But somehow i became sad because of the negligence of who is forced to protect this history precious because you see the pillars was destroyed and the statues was uncompleted and damaged. They can rebuild them and tag them which one rebuild.
Besides I know a local guide who is expert in explaining the statutes and the palaces in Persepolis if any one want to visit this place deeply massage me in telegram : @hosein8310

On the way to Vakil Bazaar, you come across this beautiful Mosque. Vakil Mosque is a unique example of Persian architecture, with intricate designs in the tiles. The art work in the building is eye-pleasingly beautiful.
Any trip to Shiraz is incomplete without a visit to Hafeziyeh. Hafez is one if the mostly quoted Persian poet whose poems in praise of love and life has captivated many generations of Iranian throughout the centuries after his death. His tomb is a place to find solace for people deeply in love with his poetry.
Vakil Bazaar used to be the heart of the commercial activity in Shiraz for locals. The place has kept its character as an old market serving the town and its residents. In recent years, most of the shops have been converted to stores which are appealing for tourists and less snd less people go there for their daily needs. Irrespective of this, the place will take your attention and you can easily spend a few hours there. The shops are somehow overpriced, especially for tourists.
Nice place only at sunset time. In morning or noon time I don't recommend.
For foreigners you need ask the guard to send local guide of themselves.

The north side of Vakil mosque behind the entrance hall has a very large and magnificent arch known as the Pearl Arch. Its span is 12 meters and the height is 20 meters. On the two left and right piers of the house pearl vault is been tiled, adorned with floral and shrub drawings, leaves and other designs. At the bottom of the arches of this vault there are sentences written in the Naskh handwriting. On each side of this vault, four smaller arches form the narrow porch. The porch is 5 meters wide and its piers are covered with colored tiles that have the names of flowers and shrubs and God's names. Above the pearl arch there are two beautifully tiled Minaret.
Jame Atiq Mosque is the oldest mosque in Shiraz, which is also called Friday Mosque or Adina. The original building of this mosque was built in the year 281 AH during the time of Amr Leith Safari. Later, Shah Ishaq Inju built a building in the middle of the mosque in the year 752 AH, which is called Khodaykhane, and it was the place where the Holy Quran was kept and where it was recited.

I don't know, perhaps I am spoiled now after travelling in Iran for two weeks but I was not impressed by the garden as much. I acknowledge the history and significance of the place but I did not find it visually that awesome. Locals like to hang out there which is cool to see as well as the main building, apart from that though I would say it is not worth the ride and the entrance of 1 million.
Wonderful place, such peaceful and serene atmosphere... There's free tourist information service where you can get information about everything. Actually, we were said that it was compulsory for foreign tourists to be accompanied by an attendant who provides information for free, and it was really helpful. The place that I love the most in Shiraz.
The Tomb of Hafez (Persian: آرامگاه حافظ), commonly known as Hāfezieh (حافظیه), are two memorial structures erected on the northern edge of Shiraz, Iran, on the memory of the celebrated Persian poet Hafez. The open pavilion structures are situated in the Musalla Gardens on the north bank of a seasonal river and house the marble tomb of Hafez. The present buildings, built in 1935 and designed by the French architect and archaeologist André Godard, are at the site of previous structures, the best-known of which was built in 1773. The tomb, its gardens, and the surrounding memorials to other significant figures are a focus of tourism in Shiraz. Wikipedia
The oldest mosque with perfect view at the middle of Shiraz. A province of Iran which I would love to visit it again again with its wonderful architecture. Vakil mosque is one of those sites which relax your mind
A must-see UNESCO registered Persian garden with a wide range of plants and flowers. This fantastic botanical garden is a beautiful picturesque one during April and October.
Located in the Shah Cheragh compound, you should visit the mosque during the call to prayer.
If you dont like mass tourism, I highly recommend you to visit this mosque. It is not crowded even in high season. It is the oldest mosque in Shiraz and maybe in Iran. There are many stories about this place that you can hear it if you have professional tour guide
This museum tells the story of a historical bath that dates back more than 250 years. The entrance begins with the bathroom and continues with the greenhouse, hot water storage, and Hanabandan sections. There are speakers throughout the bathroom that mimic the sounds of a bathroom. To enjoy these sounds as well, it is best to visit when the bathroom is not crowded. In the Hanabandan section, you can also hear beautiful songs. Entrance to this collection costs 4 thousand Tomans per person. The bathroom also has a section for taking pictures of old clothes that you can use for a fee. A small shop sells wood products as well. Below are images of this collection. Feel free to contact me if you need more help.
It is one of the gardens in Shiraz that has a unique green space and a cafe so you can escape the city for a moment. Don't forget that the passengers will start leaving after 8 pm, so you should arrive earlier. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
The mosque is near the Vakil Bazaar in Shiraz, and it is one of the most beautiful places in Shiraz. There is an extraordinary visual effect to this mosque due to the symmetry in its section. The cool space inside the courtyards is another interesting feature. Here are some photos I took here. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
It is a beautiful and nostalgic garden where u can find everything there such as a beautiful and ancient palace a very nice water pool , variety kinds of flower and plants fishes and ….
The sounds of birds are amazing you have to visit this place once to experience an experiment which you can never see that anywhere else.
It is also good for urban visitors to inspire a very nice architectural design for their own garden.

A reconstruction of a traditional bathhouse.
The hammam has been restored and also has reconstructed figures inside showing daily life in the bathhouse in times past. It is an interesting look at the culture of times gone by, but if you are in a hurry it can probably be skipped.

A good mosque, but not as photogenic as other mosques in Shiraz
The monolithic stone columns inside the mosque are quite remarkable and are worth seeing. The mosque itself is beautiful and would be an attraction for many cities. However, in Shiraz, there are more photogenic and older mosques, so only visit this one if you have time.

The site was given this name due to the nature of the discovery of the site by Ayatullah Dastghā'ib (the great grandfather of the contemporary Ayatullah Dastghā'ib). He used to see light from a distance and decided to investigate the source. He found that the light was being emitted by a grave within a graveyard. The grave that emitted the light was excavated, and a body wearing an armor was discovered. The body was wearing a ring saying al-‘Izzatu Lillāh, Ahmad bin Mūsā, meaning "The Pride belongs to God, Ahmad son of Musa". Thus it became known that this was the burial site of the sons of Mūsā al-Kādhim.
There is beautiful, cool and amazing!
This house which is located in the historical zone of the cultural capital of Iran, is among the most beautiful Ghajar era houses and has lots of decorations in the building. The mirror works in the main hall and colorful tiles are so astonishing that you would like to stay there as long as you are permitted to enjoy the atmosphere. The historic house of "the Manteghi Nejad" , which today houses the Islamic Art Museum, is located in the Qajar period, and in the Shah, Ahmadi Avenue, the alley behind the new mosque.
This home is located in the ancient Shiraz, near the bazaar and shrine of Sharif Mir Ahmad Shah Cheragh, the most sacred monument of Fars province.

The mirror works in the main hall and colorful tiles are so astonishing that you would like to stay there as long as you are permitted to enjoy the atmosphere. The historic house of "the Manteghi Nejad" , which today houses the Islamic Art Museum, is located in the Qajar period, and in the Shah, Ahmadi Avenue, the alley behind the new mosque.

You have to visit the Shah Cheragh shrine in the evening. With the artificial light you will imagine yourself in a story of 1001 nights. There will also be lots of Iranian people that come here to tribute honor to the Shah.
The access is free and you will be asked if which language you speak, so that they organise a guide (also free) for you to explain and discuss. It has been a wonderful experience visiting the shrine and talking to people.

Love this place. Its a beautiful house that was used by the royal family. Love the palm trees and 🍊 trees. If you are there make sure you go downstairs where you can find a shop selling many different breathtaking stones. There is an entrance fee of 3,000 toman for locals and 30,000 toman for foreigners.
The building and the architecture is super amazing . They use hundreds pieces of mirrors maybe more on the walls and the roofs. At some rooms there are beautiful painting on the roof which make this place an extraordinary place . I wish I had something like this to live on 😬
The yard , I mean the garden is very beautiful in most of times .
I can’t rate a place like this less than 5 . 😏

The Garden of Jahannama is a small paradise in the city of Shiraz, which displays the magnificence and beauty of the grassy Shiraz gardens for visitors. Its unique features make every visitor astonishing. Jahannama was at the peak of its magnitude while staying at Timur Korgani in Shiraz, became so enthralled and astonished by its beauty that he built a same garden around his hometown Samarkand.

The atigh Mosque is the oldest mosque in Shiraz, also called the Friday Mosque or Adineh. The first mosque was built in the year 281 AH during Amr Laith Safari. Later, Shah Ishaq Injou built a building in the mosque in the year 752 AH which is called the House of God or the House of Wisdom, and the place where the Qur'an was kept and the place where it was recited. Its stone inscription is a valuable example of the art of calligraphy. This inscription is written by Yahya al-Jamali al-Sufi, a well-known caller of the time of Shah Ishaq, and contains sentences in the Holy Quran.
The mosque is the first religious core in the city of Shiraz, which has a socio-political role apart from its religious function, and therefore has six entrances on the opposite sides, most notably the entrance to the northern side, which was reconstructed during the Safavid period.

After visiting Shrine Shah Cheragh I suggest you visit Atiq Mosque in neighbor. Little structure is in the yard. Function of that was place for writing and reading the Quran( holy book of Moslems).
A historical house . Astonishing. Highly recommend. Nice mirror interior design.
Populated by dressed manequinnes, engaged in typical hammam activities of Shiraz (for an enhaced realistic feeling even sounds are played), the well preserved basins and rooms let the visitor endulge into a history page...
If you want to go there, go before 9 a.m. In the morning colours and windows are wonderful and breath taking. You can spine in beautiful colour, but be careful about local gaurd. They don't let you to spine, especially if you are woman. There are about 3 masque near there, too.
An interesting historic garden with a small museum in it. Several historic coins and stamps in a charming place are presented that mostly date back to Ghajar period.
The best season to visit is spring actually, when lots of flowers surround you and make you intoxicated with a great smell.

Atigh Jame' Mosque is a 9th-century mosque in Shiraz. It is also one of the most ancient religious sites of Shiraz, which is also known as Jomeh Mosque (Friday Mosque). The building of Jame' Mosque had been vastly damaged due to an earthquake and renovated during the rule of Safavid and Qajarid dynasties.
Within the courtyard of this mosque, a cubic building has been constructed. The inscriptions of this building have been written during the rule of Sheikh Abu Es'haq Injou.
The building of the mosque is so high. It has some chambers and naves and some of its parts have two floors. The mosque has six entrances and exits; one in the north side, one in the south side, two doors in the west side, and two ones in the east side. The turreted Khodakhaneh section is perhaps it's most interesting and intricate feature; although the entire mosque complex -allegedly frequented by Hafiz- is a delight to wander around .

An old house which dates back to Qajar era, 19 century, a cosy courtyard and a nice pool in the middle, it takes you back in time
Hamam Vakil is the most famous public bath in Shiraz which is one of the Karim Khan Zand era monuments. It was built by Karim Khan’s order in the Shah Square neighborhood, next to theVakil Mosque.
The bath’s infrastructure is about 8660 square meters, 120 meters long and 80 meters wide, and was built in 1773. The large bath has the most advanced principles of Zand's architecture. One of the interesting parts in this public bath is a special place named " Shahneshin", literally meaning “king’s seat” and as its name suggests, it was a special place for the Kings.
The other sections of of the ancient bath include a cloakroom, a warm home and Khazine (a place to keep water warm). The cloakroom is a colored octagon room with eight columns, keeps the ceiling dome of the bath. Some murals of lime berry portrait images that symbolize Prophets Mohammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (PBUH) and his famous sward Zolfaqar. Some paintings on the ceiling depict Shirin and Farhad’s visit, as well as Bijan and Manijeh’s visit.

Great architecture but their behavior was not fine.

The beautiful old private house was doomed to be demolished as the city planners wanted to create some parking space. A group of volunteers has saved the house and opened it to the public. Have a tea in the beautiful yard. You’ll support the conservation of the place
Although, from outside it looks simple but believe me, that's not a case if you enter in it. Vakil Mosque is beautiful indeed which dates back to 275 years ago. It's courtyrad is big. The 48 carved marble columns are the main feature of this mosque. Colorful detailed mosaic work on walls & ceiling is amazing for those who have an interest in the rich architectural heritage around the world.
Unfortunately, there is a enterance fee for tourists which is a stupid act. Religious monuments/Buildings, Shrines/Tombs of Religious personalities & poets are not meant for earning money. So, I always get disturb on such stupid steps of governments in any country. There must be a free enterance!!!

Hamam-e Vakil was public bath area in the past time. It is immediately adjacent to the Vakil Mosque. Vakil Hamam is remarkable for its ceiling & dome. Wax statues are exhibited there in order to gives an idea to the visitors that how Iranians were used to take bath in the past. There was a section for ladies too where especially bride was given a bath by her family female members before wedding.
The most beutiful shrine in Iran IMHO (I haven't seen them all, of course). I arrived here before 11 pm, such night sightseeing was more attractive than during a day. All lights were on, it was after the rain and on the ground lights were reflecting / shining / glowing in puddles. The view was breathtaking. Just take a look at my photos.
This mosque may not be in comoarison with Shahcheragh next door, but the history and the Ka'bah look alike building that was used as a place to practice tawaf in the past are pretty interesting. Renevotation is in progress when I was there and I wish I could see it when it's done and add more stars to my review.
