Welcome to Tehran.After getting off the plain and picking the luggage, you will see your Tour Guide from Iranviva who greets you and takes you to the hotel. This experienced Guide will accompany you on each day of this journey. Sleep well for the night and get ready for the morning excursion.
Have the Breakfast and check out of the Hotel. Today we drive toward Isfahan, but we will stop in Kashan to see the Fin garden, Borujerdi historical house and the Kashan bazaar.Borujerdi house is a fine sample of the traditional Iranian houses that are built in all cities of Iran with relatively similar plans and parts. Big yards, small pools and fountains, the rooms surrounding the yards, different plants and flowers and plaster decorations are the inevitable parts of all traditional historical houses.Arrive in Isfahan in the evening and check in the hotel.
Today, we will start our tour around Isfahan by a delightful Iranian breakfast.You must have heard about Isfahan a lot, but now it is time to see why Isfahan is famous all over the world. Today we explore Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Ali Qapu Palace and the Isfahan BazaarNaqsh-e Jahan Square is known as the second largest public square in the world. Naghshe Jahan, reflecting the architecture of the Safavid era, was built over 400 years ago and today is the manifestation of many architectural masterpieces.After visiting Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Iranviva Group will drive you to the Vank cathedral, and then to the majestic Khaju bridge.You will be surprised to see the interior decorations and paintings, because the exterior parts seem very simple. The Christian people of Isfahan hold their religious ceremonies in Vank cathedral. Khaju Bridge is the most important bridge over the Zayanderud River. There is a pavilion located in the middle of the structure where the Safavid King stayed sometimes.
Leave Isfahan in the morning and head toward Meybod. Visit Meybod Ice House (Ice storage) to find out how people intelligently preserved ice in winter to use it in summer without electricity, and then the well reconstructed Meybod caravanserai on the opposite side of the road.Continue to Yazd in the afternoon and check in the hotel. You will be free at night to walk in the UNESCO World Heritage old quarter of Yazd. The atmosphere, made by the mud-brick houses, mosques and other structures, is hardly found in any other part of the world, so enjoy every second of your stay in Yazd.
Today Iranviva is planning to show you the Top attractions of Yazd. We start with the Tower of Silence. Towers of Silence were the burial places, built on top of hills or mountains, that were used by the Zoroastrians. Zoroastrians didn’t bury the dead bodies under the ground, but they put it on top of these burial places and the scavengers ate them. you will know about its philosophy more when visiting the site.The Fire Temple, Dowlatabad Garden with the highest wind catchers in Iran, Amir Chakhmagh square and Yazd Jameh mosque are the other attractions that we visit in Yazd.Yazd Atash Behram is one of the holiest sites for the followers of Zoroastrianism in Iran, and the sacred fire of the temple has been burning nonstop for years.
Among the cities in Iran, tourists miss Yazd the most after they return, and it may hold true about you, but now we should leave it and continue toward Shiraz. We will stop on the way to see Pasargadae, a complex that includes the tomb of Cyrus the great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire.we will arrive in Shiraz in the evening and go to the hotel. Shiraz is famous as the city of poetry and literature, because great poets like Hafiz and Sadi have lived there. So, if you are not exhausted, visiting the Tomb of Hafiz at night could be a good start to visit Shiraz.
For many people, the names “Shiraz” and “Persepolis” are connected, and the first image that comes to our mind after hearing the name of Shiraz, is the massive column bases and the stone gates of Persepolis. Today we plan to visit Persepolis, one of the historical wonders in Iran, and Necropolis (Naghshe Rostam).We return to Shiraz in the afternoon and visit the bazaar for window shopping or buying Iranian handicrafts and souveniers.
Today is the last day of the tour but there is still a lot to see in Shiraz. We start with the Nasir-ol-Molk mosque that you undoubtedly have seen many pictures of it. The pink theme of the tile paintings and the colorful morning sunlight inside the mosque is impressively beautiful. Eram Garden, Narenjestan Qavam, Arg-e Karimkhan (Karimkhan citadel) and Vakil mosque are the other attractions that we will see.Eram Garden and Narenjestan are two Persian gardens but with different scales.A Persian garden has a particular form and structure with different elements, including: sunlight, shade, water, buildings.1. The garden is usually located in a stream path.2. The Gardens are usually enclosed with walls.3. There is a summer mansion, a winter mansion and most of the time a swimming pool in the garden.
We go to the hotel in the evening.

Isfahan Province
