Historic City of Yazd

 Yazd is a heaven for anyone who has an eye for history. UNESCO inscribed this city as the first historic city in Iran. The land of the wind catchers is culturally diverse and houses sites that are renowned for their grandeur and history. Unlike many traditional earthen towns, the city has escaped modernization and succeeded in conserving its traditional monuments. Yazd is home to some iconic monuments and museums that include Jame mosque, water museum and Amir Chakhmagh. Thanks to Mohamad for accompanying our Dane guests in Iran.
