to relax. After lunch, begin your tour of Tehran. Visit the Crown Jewels
Museum with its impressive collection of precious gems and dazzling works of
art. Continue on to Sa'dabad Palace and the Museum
of Reza Abbasi, named after the most famous
miniaturist of the Safavid era. The museum, opened in 1977, exhibits artifacts
dating back to prehistoric and Islamic periods, and is particularly rich in
calligraphy. Fly to Shiraz at night.
Day 2 (Tuesday) : SHIRAZ
One of the highlights of any tour of Iran is a visit to Shiraz and to
neighboring Persepolis, the capital of Darius. Shiraz is traditionally known
as the city of Roses and Nightingales, but has become known in recent times as
a seat of intellectual learning. It was home to Sa'di
and Hafez, the famed Persian poets, and is considered the cradle of Persian
Civilization. You will enjoy visits to the Eram Garden, the tombs of the
Persian poets Saadi and Hafiz, Nasirol-Molk Mosque, the Church of Saint
Simon the Zealot, Vakil Mosque, and the Shrine of Shah-Cheragh
"King of Light", noted for its
dazzling mirror tiles. In the afternoon, you will move toward
Koohanjan, one of the rural villages near Shiraz.
Koohanjan is the city of old trees, fresh springs
and historic buildings. On the way you will have a supper near the Salt Lake.
You will have the chance to spend the night in a local house there to become
familiar with an Iranian rural family.
Day 3 (Wednesday) : SHIRAZ-
PERSEPOLIS In the morning you will enjoy your time by visiting
holy shrines and the traditional water irrigation system (Subterranean canals)
use in this village. You can take photo with the village people and become
familiar with their lifestyle, believes and traditions. Leave
Koohanjan to Shiraz to visit Persepolis.
Persepolis is the last and ultimate expression of the ancient Middle East.
Construction began by Darius the Great (521 – 468
BC) as the focus of the mighty Achaemenian Empire nearly 2,500 years
ago. Spend a half day exploring these mighty ruins. Your tour will also
include the Kuh-i-Rehmat and Nagsh-e-Rustam
(Relief
of Rustam).
Day 4 (Thursday): YAZD
Depart by surface to Yazd. Located in the heart of Iran between the
Kavir and Lut deserts,
Yazd was a major stop on the international caravan routes to Central Asia and
India. Marco Polo visited Yazd on his way to China. The architecture of Yazd
is perhaps the most traditionally Persian to be found anywhere in Iran. On the
way we will have short stops in Pasargadae to
visit the tomb of Cyrus the great and Abarqu to visit the 4500 years old
cypress tree. Stay overnight in Yazd.
Day 5 (Friday): YAZD Half day city tour in Yazd.
Visit the Zoroastrian Towers of Silence, and the Fire Temple, whose fire has
allegedly burned continuously for over a thousand years. Also, pay a visit to
the Doulat Abad Garden with its clever ventilation shafts, known as badgirs or
"wind towers." In the afternoon, visit the local famous Jameh and Mir-Chakhmaq
Mosques. Leave Yazd for Isfahan in the afternoon, visiting
Nafin and its beautiful Jameh Mosque on your way.
Day 6 (Saturday): ISFAHAN
Isfahan is a wonder. Truly a city of splendor, legend has it that the
city was founded at the time of Tahmourass or Keykavous. During the Safavid
Era (sixteenth and seventeenth century AD), Isfahan was a city of Gardens and
Palaces. As a major trade center of its time, Isfahan's was known as "Half the
World." Your full day tour includes the famed Imam Square (Naqsh-e-Jahan), a
huge square second in the world to Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Tour the
architectural marvels of Sheikh Lotfollah and Imam Mosques, Aliqapu Palace,
Chehel Sutoon Palace, and also visit one of the most famous bazaars in Iran,
where you can purchase the arts & crafts for which Isfahan is so well
renowned.

includes Hasht Behesht, Vank Church, the spectacular and historic Friday
Mosque as well as the famous bridges. In particular, the "33 arch bridges" or
