Head towards the Jameh Mosque of Yazd by passing through Khan Bazaar and Saat Square.

In the Jameh Mosque of Yazd, you will visit a stunning example of Islamic architecture. Take your time to explore the mosque and its beautiful prayer hall.

Walk towards the old part of the city, you will find some of the oldest buildings and narrowest alleys in Yazd.

After lunch and rest in the hotel, we will continue visiting Yazd.

We start the evening Part by visiting the Zoroastrian Fire Temple, a place of worship for followers of the Zoroastrian faith. Take a look at the eternal flame that has been burning in the temple for over 1,500 years.

Continue to Tower of Silence, a Zoroastrian burial site located on a hill outside the historical part of the city. It was used for centuries as a place for sky burial. This site also offers panoramic views of the city and its surroundings.

Back to the historical part to visit the Dowlat Abad Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful Persian gardens in Iran. Admire the beautiful architecture of the pavilion and the beautiful trees and flowers in the garden.

Our last part of the Yazd city tour is visiting the Zurkhaneh which is a traditional Persian gymnasium where athletes practice the ancient art of Varzesh-e Pahlavani, a form of physical and spiritual training that dates back to the 10th century. It is a great way to experience an authentic part of Persian culture and witness a centuries-old tradition firsthand.
