Unravel the secrets of the city of Tabrīz in this meticulously planned 3-day tour, carefully woven together to unveil the diverse cultural, culinary, and historical aspects of the ancient city of Iran. Feel the ethereal vibe of the ancient past coupling with the effervescent presence in its vibrant bazaars, captivating museums, and architecturally brilliant mosques.

Day 1 - Stepping back in time

Kick-start an invigorating sojourn with a hearty breakfast at a delightful Persian café to gear up for the day. Next, we delve into the pages of history as we visit the Tabrīz Historic Bazaar Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can soak in the lively ambiance and witness the significant cultural and commercial crossroads it played in the silk road era. Then, we'll make our way to Kandovan village , a man-made marvel where homes are carved out of rock formations, a spectacle that defies time and modernity. Wrap the day up with a leisurely walk around Elgoli Park, where the illuminated hill-top palace refects on the beautiful artificial lake at night, creating an enchanting sight that won't be easy to forget.

Day 2 - Unraveling Tabriz’s Culture

We begin the second day with the exploration of stunningly captivating Blue mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture that would leave you awestruck. After that, we will explore the Tabriz Historic Museum, a repository of Iran’s indigenous art, civilization and knowledge. After feeding the mind, we feed the body. What better way to do so than in Eynali Mountain’s picnic area, where grilled kebabs, saffron rice, and tasty sweets are likely to be on the menu. Post a rejuvenating lunch, we'll embark on an adventurous hike up Eynali Mountain. Remember when we said the city couples ancient past with effervescent present? Well, the panoramic view of the city will prove it!

Day 3 - The Culinary Delight

We'll begin the day with an adrenaline-fueled adventure, and go white-water rafting in the Aras River, which offers a breathtaking view of the Arasbaran forest. After working up an appetite, we head back to Tabrīz to explore its delectable delight at the Tabrīz Food Festival (if you're lucky to be visiting during the event). Tuck into scrumptious Ghormeh Sabzi, Chelo Kebab or Fesenjān and witness the art of Iranian bread-making. To wrap up this trip, we'll take a casual stroll down Valiasr Street, where you'll have your final chance to pick up some authentic Iranian souvenirs to remind you of this magical trip.
