We had 3 unforgettable days in Yazd, thanks to Fahadan Tourist Information. After the owner and officially certified tour guide Ahmad explained all the possibilities in and around Yazd in very good English, we booked the 4WD desert trip to witness an amazing sunset on top of a dune outside Yazd. The next day we did an entire day trip together with a new friend we made on the desert trip. The last day we did the half-day trip and Ahmad dropped us off at Zein-o-Din, where we spent an unforgettable night in one of Iran’s oldest caravanserai. Ahmad is a very flexible, entertaining and well educated tour guide who knows the Yazd Province like the inside of his pocket. Furthermore, we got a good discount booking 3 tours at Fahadan Tourist Information. HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE.

Prayers for the departed form an important part of Zoroastrian ritual. Soon after the spirit has left, the body is regarded as impure, so it is bathed and dressed in white cotton garments. At the time appointed, the corpse has to be carried into the Tower. The Towers of Silence, being open at the top, give free access to birds of prey. Zoroastrianism regards the Soul as infinitely the more important.

Separation of the modern urban and traditional texture of Yazd city is the main distinctive feature of this city with other cities. Alley of calm and silent with kind people in the traditional texture of Yazd is one of the most prominent beauties of this city.

The Jame Mosque or the Congregational Mosque is one of the oldest monuments of the Islamic era in Yazd. An imposing entrance (the tallest of all mosques in Iran) topped by two minarets that dominate the old city. Much of the history of The Mosque dates back to Mongolian times in the 14th century. The monument has been restored several times. The last works were carried out between 1954 and 1986. The reputation of the mosque is due to its Persian blue tiles, its mosaics with various floral and geometric patterns, or its fine ornamentation in brick and terracotta. The water is channeled through a qanat, accessed by a staircase to perform ablution before prayer. jame-mosque-yazd
