8 centuries ago, in the beautiful city of Shiraz, a genius
was born who became known as the Master of Speech and Persian poetry. After
basic studies Saadi started a long journey and explored other lands like India,
Morocco, Rome, Damascus, Kufa and many other regions for 30 years. As the
result for decades of traveling and exploring, Saadi created two literature
masterpieces, “Golestan” and “Boustan” which are the reflection of all the experiences
collected during his journeys and of course his unexampled ingenuity. Gulistan
is one of two major works of the Persian poet Sa’adi in prose, and it is said
to be one of the most widely read books ever produced. Bustan is the other important
book of Saadi in poetry contains the fruits of Saadi's long experience and his
judgements upon life, and is illustrated by a vast collection of anecdotes.
Every year on 21st April, a commemoration is held to venerate
Sa’adi as the honored personage of Persian poetry. We would like to offer you
our Shiraz gardens tour by visiting the Persian gardens and magnificent tombs
of the most prominent representatives of the Persian literature, Hafez and,
Sa’adi.
