We meet at Istanbul Airport International Departures Terminal. After completing ticket, baggage, and customs procedures, we board Mahan Air's scheduled flight to Tehran.

Tehran, meaning "Hot Place" in Persian, has a history dating back to the Neolithic era. Spread over a vast land at the foothills of Mount Damavand, the city consists of two or three-story brick buildings in line with the traditional structure of other Iranian cities. During our city tour in Tehran, we explore Azadi Square, the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum, and the broad avenues of Tehran.

SHIRAZ - PERSEPOLIS

Day 3: SHIRAZ - PERSEPOLIS

Early in the morning, we set out for Nasir al-Mulk Mosque to welcome the sunrise. Also known as the Pink Mosque, it is famous for the pink-colored tiles used in its interior architecture, creating a magnificent color spectacle as the daylight illuminates the mosque. We then proceed to observe Narencistan Kerim Khan Castle from the outside. This castle, constructed for defensive purposes, stands out with its high walls, well-preserved until today. Following that, we embark on a panoramic tour of Shiraz, visiting Kerim Khan Castle and Vakil Bazaar. Built in 1773, the mosque is particularly notable for the flower-patterned ceramic works added during the Qajar period. Despite surviving two major earthquakes, the mosque remains a sturdy structure. After a shopping and lunch break, we head towards the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ancient city of Persepolis, and Naksh-i-Rustam. Persepolis was founded by Persian King Darius I in the late 6th century BC and served as the capital of the Persian Empire for a considerable period. Successive rulers, including Xerxes and Artaxerxes, expanded Persepolis, leaving numerous monuments. Naksh-i-Rustam, an archaeological site located 12 km northwest of Persepolis, features monumental tombs believed to portray the Persian mythological hero Rustam. In addition to the tombs, there are seven colossal rock reliefs below, associated with Sasanian kings. After the tour, we return to Shiraz, have dinner, and conclude the day with a visit to the Shahcheragh Shrine.

YEZD

Day 4: YEZD

After breakfast, we embark on approximately a 6-hour journey to the ancient city of Yezd, which boasts a rich history spanning 5,000 years and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, we'll explore the desert paths, wind towers, and surreal architecture that characterize this city's cultural richness. Our visit will include prominent landmarks such as the Jameh Mosque, the Amir Chakhmaq Complex, the city center, and significant sites for adherents of the Zoroastrian faith, notably the Fire Temple believed to have been burning since 470 B.C. Following these explorations, we'll discover another sacred site in Zoroastrian belief, the City of the Dead (Necropolis) and its Tower of Silence. After the tour, we'll proceed to our hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

ISFAHAN

Day 5: ISFAHAN

After breakfast at the hotel, we embark on a journey to explore Isfahan, often referred to as the "Half of the World." Isfahan was conquered by Muslims in 640 AD and holds a significant historical legacy as the capital established by Seljuk ruler Tughrul Bey and further developed by his grandson, Malik Shah. We will experience the historical bridges and heritage from the Seljuk period through a panoramic tour. Our city tour includes important landmarks such as Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Ali Qapu Palace, Grand Bazaar, and Forty Columns Palace. Naqsh-e Jahan Square, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered one of the largest squares globally. Formerly known as Shah Square, it serves as a central hub to reach many significant places in Isfahan. The square is surrounded by various buildings, including the Grand Bazaar. Ali Qapu Palace, with its six floors, stands dominantly over the square. Behind the palace, there is a large park and a structure with 20 columns, creating a visual effect of 40 columns when reflected in the pool in front. Although the pool is now empty, preventing us from witnessing this impressive view, we'll still explore the historical significance of Forty Columns Palace. Following the tour, we'll have a break for tea and coffee before transferring back to our hotel.
