SHIRAZ - PERSEPOLIS

4th Day: SHIRAZ - PERSEPOLIS

Before breakfast, we will set out early to greet the day’s first light at the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, known as the "Pink Mosque" due to its pink-tiled interior. This mosque becomes a spectacle of vibrant colors with the morning sunlight. After visiting the mosque, we will return to our hotel for breakfast. Later, we will visit the Kerim Khan Citadel located in the center of Shiraz, notable for its approximately 14-meter high defensive walls. The inscription at the entrance of the citadel declares, "A traveler arriving in Shiraz will long be unable to stop praising the stature of the Kerim Khan Palace." One of the citadel’s towers is notably tilted, reminiscent of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Once a prison during the Pahlavi era, the citadel still stands robust, welcoming visitors with its historic grandeur. After lunch and some shopping, we will proceed to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of ancient Persepolis and the tour of Naqsh-e Rostam (Necropolis). Founded by King Darius I towards the end of the 6th century BC, Persepolis served as the capital of the Persian Empire for many years. Expanded by his successors Xerxes and Artaxerxes, this ancient city has preserved numerous monuments to this day. Naqsh-e Rostam is an archaeological site featuring monumental tombs believed to depict the Persian mythological hero Rostam, with reliefs from the Sassanian era. This site includes seven tombs belonging to Achaemenid kings, with inscriptions clearly identifying one as belonging to Darius I. The site also hosts massive rock reliefs from the Sassanian kings. At the end of a day rich in historical and cultural heritage, we will return to Shiraz. We will have our dinner and then stay overnight at our hotel.

ISFAHAN

6th Day: ISFAHAN

After breakfast, we will head towards Isfahan, known as "Half the World" due to its enchanting beauty. Captured by Muslims in the year 640, Isfahan was declared the capital by the Seljuk Sultan Tughril Beg and further developed by his grandson, Malik Shah. During our city tour, we will enjoy panoramic views of its historic bridges. Our tour will include visits to key landmarks such as Naqsh-e Jahan Square, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered one of the largest squares in the world, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Ali Qapu Palace, the Grand Bazaar, and the Forty Columns Palace. Surrounding the square, a covered bazaar hosts numerous shops. The six-story Ali Qapu Palace majestically overlooks the square. Behind the palace lies a large park and a building with twenty columns. The reflection of these columns in the front pool used to create an image of forty columns, hence the name Forty Columns Palace. However, due to the pool now being empty, this unique sight can no longer be seen. After a day full of exploration, we will return to our hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
