The town of Yazd. No high-rise.
The Friday Mosque in Yazd. Apparently the minarets are at an angle so if they collapse, they are unlikely to damage the mosque. The Taj Mahal has the same feature.
We visited a UNESCO listed Persian Garden.
And for those of us who grew up with one, this was seen - in a UNESCO listed site!

It is still cold, but as you can see, bright and sunny. They have fitted a lot into this tour, with plenty of time for explanations, but it also means long days and a lot of time on your feet.
We visited an Iranian sweets shop but too busy buying to take pics!
Unable to even view the blog here, so hope all this is visible!
Was watching "The Silk Road" on SBS yesterday and also "visited" Persepolis and Yazd.
ReplyDeleteWe recorded it, and watched it after we got home! Very timely for us. I hadn't realised Iran was considered part of the Silk Road until this trip. Kay
