Introduction

This three day guide to Yazd, Iran encompasses a delightful blend of ancient Persian architecture, winding old streets, Middle Eastern cuisine, and the vibrant feel of the desert city. By the end of the tour, you'll undoubtedly be filled with awe and sense of discovery.

Day 1 - A Historical Encounter

Begin your conquest into the heart of Yazd at the Amir Chakhmaq Complex. This historical site, with its imposing facade, should definitely be your first port of call. Subsequently, we'll navigate our way to the Yazd Water Museum. Here, you'll get an insight into the Persian architecture and man-made river systems - 'qanats'. As the sun starts to dip, wind up your day with a serene walk in Fahadan neighborhood, a labyrinth of mud-brick houses leading to ancient wind towers. Enjoy a traditional Iranian dinner, whilst basking in the breathtaking views of the skyline.

Day 2 - A Spiritual Excursion

Head to the Fire Temple, an embodiment of Zoroastrian culture. Perhaps the 'eternal flame' which is said to have been burning since 470 AD, will kindle an exploratory flame within you. Post this, the journey takes us to the Towers of Silence, a sacred Zoroastrian site used for sky burial. It's profound and a bit eerie, reminding us of the impermanence of life. Cap off the day with a visit to Dowlatabad Garden, one of the jewels of Iranian Garden design. Green amidst desert, isn't that a refreshing sight?

Day 3 - An Exploration of the Lifestyle

Take a shopping stroll through the bustling Khan Bazaar. Hook into some souvenir hunting, you might find some splendid handwoven textiles or ceramics. Later, we'll catch a sweet treat at Haj Khalifeh Rahbar confectionery, letting your taste buds bask in the glory of Yazd's famed Baklava. As the day ages, we'll visit the Jameh Mosque of Yazd, an architectural gem among Yazd's skyline. Finishing off with a rooftop dinner in a hotel, we'll bid adieu to Yazd under a sky full of stars.
