Yazd
Windcatchers rise over the mud-brick roofs of Yazd, and the Zoroastrian fire temple keeps a flame that, by tradition, has burned for about 1,500 years.
Our articles cover Dowlat Abad Garden, Lari House, the Khan Bazaar, the Water Museum and its qanats, and Pahlevanpour Garden in Mehriz. Out of town there are Chak Chak, the mountain shrine, Narin Castle in Meybod and the village of Kharanaq. Begin with our Yazd travel guide.
