Introduction

Embrace the rich culture, sink your teeth into delicious cuisines, unearth the city’s historical significance, and explore the world's largest pistachio producing regions in Rafsanjān, Iran. This 3 day itinerary takes you into the heart of this delightful city and gives you an immersive experience.

Day 1 - Opening Act

Start on a high by uncovering Rafsanjān's famed Pistachio Gardens. Go for a leisurely stroll, soak in the sights, and even get to know about how global pistachio markets owe a lot to this little city. Are you feeling peckish yet? Taste some of the freshly plucked pistachios! In the afternoon, it's time to immerse yourself in the city's pivotal role in the 1979 Islamic Revolution at the Rafsanjān Friday Mosque. Let the beautiful symphony of the azan (call to prayer) transport you to another world. When the evening draws close, head towards Kerman Bazaar to get your retail therapy going. It's time to haggle over Persian rugs and brassware. Remember, it's all in good spirit!

Day 2 - The Golden Rush

For the second day, we will dive right into the heart of Rafsanjān's vibrant culture. The day starts at the Rafsanjān Rug Carpet Museum. Lose yourself in the intricate patterns and the story each rug has to tell. You'll be amazed at the craftsmanship and the countless hours that go into making every piece! Next, we're off to the Jazmorian Salt Desert. Marvel at the endless expanse of glittering salt spread out before you, mirroring the sky. An amazing photo op for sure! In the evening, visit Kerman Grand Library, home to millenary manuscripts and documents. Wondering if there's anything better than a day spent exploring? There is. Cap off your day with a traditional Iranian meal at a local restaurant. Bon appetit!

Day 3 - Voyage Conclusion

On day 3, we're leveling up the cultural quotient by visiting Arg-e Rayen. Explore the adobe castle town which boasts about its grandeur and long history despite the inevitable passage of time. Iran indeed tells an epic story! In the afternoon, have a relaxed visit to the Jabalieh Dome. Consider this a spiritual pit stop as you absorb the tranquility of the place. As your journey concludes, don’t forget to wander around the city streets for one last time. Perhaps grab a pot of Rafsanjān pistachios to take a piece of Iran back home with you. Remember, every end is just a new beginning.
