Until the mid-1900s, the dead were transported to this tower where they were left to decompose and be devoured by birds.

Entering through a portico with twenty slender wooden columns, you will discover soaring halls embellished with frescoes, paintings and mosaics; the Hall of Mirrors is especially breathtaking!
Accommodation:
DAY 27: ISFAHAN
We will continue our exploration in Isfahan at a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Simple at first glance but wondrous in its rich detail and bold design, the Masjed-e Jamé is another masterpiece of Iranian architecture, covering nearly 5 acres in the heart of this historical city. This is one of the oldest congregational mosques of the country, and its construction and embellishment over the past twelve centuries illustrate a number of important periods in Islamic architecture.

Staying alongside an Iranian nomad family is likely to be one of the most memorable parts of your journey.

We’re proud that the nomadic families we work with have all gone on to create their own independent businesses, helping them to stay in the countryside and maintain a satisfactory income whilst doing so.
In our tours, one of the standout experiences is observing the Zurkhaneh.
Zurkhaneh, or “House of Power“, is much more than a traditional gymnasium. It’s a revered space where the ancient sporting rituals converge with the spiritual essence of Iranian philosophy. In this unique setting, the rhythmic pulses of drums and the harmonious flow of Persian poetry transport you to the heroic narratives and noble values of ancient Iran.
As you enter Zurkhaneh, prepare to be captivated by displays of remarkable physical strength and rhythmic grace. The athletes, known as Pahlavans, showcase a distinctive blend of martial arts, calisthenics, and dance.
Each movement they perform is an embodiment of humility, strength, and respect. This isn’t merely a sport; it’s a spiritual odyssey and a reflection of Iran’s rich cultural legacy.
In our tours, one of the standout experiences is the opportunity to visit a Qanat. As you walk through these time-honored waterways, you step into a world where ancient engineering marvels meet the needs of present-day societies.
The Qanat, an ancient feat of engineering, is more than just an irrigation system. It represents the ingenuity and adaptability of Iranian civilization. These underground aqueducts, masterpieces of sustainable water management, have been quenching the arid lands of Iran for centuries. As you delve into the history of the Qanat, you uncover a narrative of resilience and innovation.
Witnessing the Qanat system offers a glimpse into the ingenious methods ancient Iranians developed to harness and distribute water in a challenging landscape. These subterranean channels, skillfully designed, reveal the harmony between human endeavor and the natural environment. The Qanat is not just a historical relic; it’s a living testament to the sustainable practices and environmental wisdom of past generations.
