Your journey begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel, setting off to one of Shiraz’s most breathtaking landmarks—the Nasir al-Molk Mosque, famously known as the Pink Mosque. As sunlight filters through its stained-glass windows, vibrant hues dance across the Persian carpets, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Next, we visit the Ghavami House and Zinat ol-Molk House, two stunning historical residences linked by the Gallery Alley, a hidden gem showcasing local art and culture. Walking through these beautifully preserved houses offers an intimate look at Shirazi architecture and tradition.
We continue to the Karim Khan Citadel, the imposing fortress that once served as the royal residence of the Zand dynasty. Inside, you’ll hear stories of the city’s golden age under Karim Khan Zand, who shaped Shiraz into the capital of Persia.
A short walk takes us to the Pars Museum, where artifacts and historical treasures offer deeper insight into the city’s past. From there, we explore the Vakil Complex, which includes the Vakil Mosque, famous for its massive stone columns, the Vakil Bathhouse, adorned with intricate tilework, and the Vakil Bazaar, where you can experience the lively atmosphere of a traditional Persian marketplace.
After the morning’s explorations, we take a lunch break at a local restaurant, enjoying authentic Shirazi cuisine.
Our afternoon unfolds with a visit to the Eram Garden, a UNESCO-listed Persian garden known for its tall cypress trees, elegant pavilions, and tranquil pathways. Finally, we conclude our tour at the Hafez Tomb, the resting place of Hafez, one of Iran’s greatest poets. As you wander through the serene gardens and recite his timeless verses, you’ll understand why his poetry remains deeply woven into Persian culture.
With the day’s journey complete, we transfer you back to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Shiraz’s history, beauty, and poetic spirit.
