You can see the Syrian border as it's a mile away, (1.4 km) plus you got these interesting tunnels that were used during the wars in the 1970s

From here can view the border of Syria. There was largest tank battle in history. The Syrians attacked with 1,500 tanks and 1,000 artillery pieces against 160 tanks from Israel. More than 2000 young Israel soldiers die in this battle. People using the tank material to build sculptures to remember this history.

You cannot miss this place when you come to Israel. You get to see the beautiful scenery of both Israel and Syria from the top. That being said, you will need to use the binoculars if you want a clearer view. There are shops located near the "above sea level" sign if you want to grab some souvenirs or food.

This mountain offers a great overview of Syria. The entrance is free, it has a large parking area, the rout from the parking to the viewpoint is decorated with artistic metal shaped creatures, and there are always some nice Druze people selling their olive oil, fruits ad souvenirs. There s also a nice coffee shop with outdoor seating area, and lots of fortification from the Six Day War to explore. Several years ago, it was not that safe to bring groups here, as the fighting in Syria often leaked into Israel. However, in recent years, this area is very safe and visiting here is a must when going all the way up to the Golan.

A must visit to everyone driving through the area! It's free! Amazing 360 views of the nearby mountains and valleys, and there is a coffee shop with nice views. It's very windy so make sure you in come well equipped with warm clothes in the winter!

Don’t miss this view when you travel in the Golan Heights. breathtaking ! You can see so many parts of Israel and of course to hear the history of the place. It’s really special and amazing mountain. Highly recommend !

Amazing lookout to Syria, especially the destroyed Quneitra and the new reformed one. Also a great view on Mount Hermon, the smaller hills around it and the so-called valley of tears. The place itself features the communication trenches that were used during the unfortunate war with Syria. There's a nice coffee shop nearby.

One of few forest reserves in Jordan that offer accommodation, hiking, dining, and fun activities. The reserve has a visitor’s center for tickets and accommodation check-in. If you are here for hiking, they have tours of 1, 2, 3, 4 KMs and beyond trails. The 1 and 2 KM trails are self-walked, while 3 KM onwards trails are with a guide, and must be booked a day in-advance. The trails are served with signs and walking paths, and don’t require hiking gear. Caution and attention are required, though. They offer ample parking, and you can buy tickets by cash or card. Next to the visitor’s center is a small shop for local items, as well as a restaurant. They also have restrooms. Within 500 meters is a zip-line, a tele-match area, and the Reserve Restaurant (AKA Oak Restaurant). Each incur separate fees. There is also a small bakery next to the Oak Restaurant that bakes local Jordanian cookies. The place is called “Biscuit House”. Worth spending half a day in this entire place, and you can complement your trip by visiting the Ajloun Teleferic.

Absolutely loved my stay! The cabins were cozy and clean, and the whole area felt incredibly peaceful and untouched. It’s rare to find a place where nature is so well preserved lush forests, fresh air, and complete tranquility. Perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge. Highly recommend for a serene getaway!

YES! this is in Jordan! It was my birthday and it was my first time to visit the place there. I have had the best moments of my life 💓 Thank you for everything everyone ❤️ I am speechless and the only thing I would do is to visit this place whenever I can ... Helpful, kind, amazing staff 🙏 The services are well provided, 👌 Very clean place, good for families and kids 👏 even alone you will enjoy 😉

Very cozy and authentic cabins that still offer all modern comforts, breakfast is simple and delicious and there's short 30 min and longer 1 hour hiking trails that will definitely connect you to nature!

Great option for a family outing. Amazing views and activities, welcoming staff and delicious “baladi” breakfast at their main restaurant “The Oak”. Would definitely recommend it and visit again.

The best place in Jordan,,, suitable for retreats and meditation sessions. The cottages are very clean, the staff are nice

It is a very beautiful place for summer and kids you could find insects in the place but that is normal we are there guest

The tour and tasting were very enjoyable. The guide was friendly and very informative. The history of the chateau is very impressive and dates back even to Roman times! However, the tour and tasting are very short. I think both took a total of 30 or 45 minutes. So if you come from Beirut, make sure to have other things planned as well to make the drive worth your time.

The new tour now lets you also see the factory, not just the caves, which is interesting. If you want to do wine tasting, the “niche” selection was pretty bad, but the staff is extremely friendly and speak really good English and French so foreign visitors would not miss anything of the experience.

This was my 5th visit to Château Ksara, and I must say the tour has been taken to a whole new level! In the past, we only explored the caves, but now the experience is much richer. It began with a short video (which I think could be shown on a bigger screen), then we set off in a golf cart through the beautiful grounds. We visited the observatory, the old church and monastery, admired the stunning valleys of grapes, and even stopped by the Arak factory — which could be made even more engaging. The tour continued through the plant before ending in the iconic caves. Bravo to Ksara for making each visit more exciting than the last!

Château Ksara — the oldest winery in Lebanon, right in the heart of the Bekaa Valley. 🌿 Visiting a winery has always been on my life wish list of experiences — and it was everything I dreamed of. A gorgeous tasting, a tour through the ancient cellars and vineyards, and of course… wine shopping! (Yes, that’s me, all smiles, carrying a whole box of wine and arak 😍🍷).

We visited Château Ksara today and had such a great time! The wine tasting was amazing, every glass was delicious, and our guide Mira was super friendly and welcoming. She took us on a lovely tour inside the caves and shared some really interesting stories about the winery. The place itself is beautiful and full of history. Overall, a really fun and unique experience, definitely worth a visit if you’re in Lebanon!

The Caves de Ksara in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley is the oldest winery in the Middle East. We enjoyed a remarkably detailed and accessible wine tour, thanks to our knowledgeable guide and connoisseur Cyrine. Afterwards, I opted for the vintage wine tasting paired with a carefully selected cheese platter. The on-site shop is perfect for stocking up on their wide range of wines and delicious Arak—and, unlike many spots in Lebanon, it even accepts credit cards and Apple Pay. I highly recommend visiting Caves de Ksara if you ever find yourself in Lebanon.🇱🇧

Had a great visit here with tour of the vineyard and tunnels and a wine tasting session. Learning about the history of wine production here in the region going back to the Romans, followed by Jesuit monks is intriguing. Today you can buy the wine and have shipped from here. Highly recommend. Reasonable price. Lovely staff.

The spirituality and holiness of this valley are unmatched. Unique flora, water everywhere, monasteries, a beautiful blend of what Lebanon is.

If you never visit qusdisha valley you don't see nothing from the best natural place ever best place for hiking camping climbing defending river riding horse riding swimming in cold river caves discovering holy refreshing you can see plant only located in this valley salmon fish and truit its the location of that fish the valley have story and secrets never end you need to visit and see heaven on earth i love this place i go there always it give me peace of mind

Back to nature trip. Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Calming and relaxing

Beautiful valley with great views and the nunnery is gorgeous I 100% recommend a visit if your in the area

An extraordinary valley with fogs almost every day, as if it plays hide and seek when times you see the valley, the next is foggy can't see anything, you'll enjoy well 😊❤️

A truly magical place, full of history and tradition. I hope Lebanon and the communities on in and around the Kadisha Valley will continue to take care of it for centuries to come.

Anazing experience, it is a big historical valley, where you can go for a ling hike, enjoy all the sceneries and views. Amazing waterfalls, caves, history, churches and restaurants. We walked for about 5 hohrs, we saw everything and we had an good venerous lunch

Anjar City The city of Anjar is a historic city located in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley and is particularly famous for its Umayyad-era ruins. Founded in the 8th century by the Umayyad Caliph al-Walid I between 705 and 715, the city is considered one of the finest examples of Umayyad architecture and was constructed in a meticulously planned manner. Anjar was designed on a grid layout based on Roman urban planning principles and is adorned with palaces, mosques, baths, and shops. After the Umayyads, the city lost its importance and was gradually abandoned. However, it was rediscovered during archaeological excavations in the 1940s and added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984. Today, Anjar, with its well-preserved Umayyad ruins, is a significant destination for tourists and history enthusiasts.

One of the nicest UNESCO heritage sites in Lebanon, however, needs a lot of attention to be given with bushes/shrubs growing all around making it difficult to walk through. Having said that, it's still a must visit when in the country. Being distant from Beirut, people usually miss it as is evident by the dismal crowds present at any point in time, but a visit here is all worth it. The city itself is an important part of history having built by the Umayyad Caliphate in the 8th century and then lost only to be rediscovered just a few years after excavation. The size if roughly 300x300m and some Pillars, Arches and Floor Mosaics still are present in a very good shape and puts you in awe when imagined what might have gone into building these perfect geometrical structures back in the day without any modern tools whatsoever. Entry ticket is LBP800,000 ($9) and spend around 2hrs easily

I visit the ruins every now and then because I love it so much. I would recommend going later in the afternoon to avoid the harsh sun and heat but it’s a beautiful and well maintained history piece in Lebanon that everyone should explore.

This is a must visit in Lebanon. Lots of history and very cool ruins to see

A very nice ancient city to walk in and spend 1-2 hours. The pathways are all hard mud, and so good foot-wear is recommended. There are plenty of spots to take good pictures at. There is good parking outside. Don't expect a restroom or stores to buy snacks and water here.

Really interesting historical site where you see how the Roman, Byzantine and Omeya culture/architecture mixed... major part of it on ruins but you still get an idea of how it was. If you are in Lebanon, it worths the visit

The Umayyad ruins in Anjar, offer an incredible historical experience. The are recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The well-preserved site provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing intricate architecture and rich cultural heritage. Exploring the ruins was truly captivating. Tickets are not expensive at all and available at the entrance.

This is one of my favorite places in Lebanon. Every time I visit, I enjoy my time the same as the first visit. The place is peaceful. The trees are majestic. The environment is simply beautiful. The wood cravings are artistic and amazing. If you are visiting Lebanon for the first time, this place is not to be missed. Once you pay to enter, you will be awarded a postcard as a souvenir. For the people taking care of this forest, keep up the amazing work.

Must visit! Such a beautiful, calm and relaxing place to be at. Walking along the trail and surrounded by cedars trees is a lovely experience. The trees are big and old. Make sure to visit when the weather is good.

We visited in October and it doesn't matter if you go weekdays or weekends, we went on a sunday and it was almost empty. The weather is perfect this time a year! There is like a souk for souvenirs it is amazing and people are very friendly!

Ceders of god is really a visit worth! The old trees are amazing with their enormous canopy and large trunks. Be aware that the park has two entrances (with different opening hours). The secondary entrance has longer opening hours.

such a calm and beautiful place. the ancient cedar trees are incredible, and walking among them feels special. we met an old woman waiting for the sunday prayer to start in the church, and she walked with us before the service began, teaching us how to take selfies and talking about how tall the trees are. the area is well kept with clean toilets. it’s a short, easy walk!

A must see place in Lebanon. It is a Cedars forest where you can see the unique trees that originally exist only in Lebanon. The entrance to the forest is only by donation and it is around a half an hour walk through the aged trees. The atmosphere is very relaxing, the place is majestic and the views are stunning. There is unfortunately no road indications to guide you where to go especially if you have no internet to ask google, but to arrive there just keep going up for around 5-10 min after the "Arz" town.

Beautiful hiking trail between the few remaining cedar tree forests in the country. There’s no entrance fee but you can make a donation. Unfortunately there are no park rangers around the forest to ensure that people are keeping the area clean, not littering and engraving the trees, and to make sure that they aren’t smoking!! Even with the no smoking signs there was no around to enforce the law so you could see plenty of people smoking cigars and cigarettes! You would think that after the fires we’ve had in the last few years there would be stricter policies! Hire park rangers! Take care of the last remnants of nature that we have in our country!

Man oh man this place is absolutely mind blowing. When you walk in you can't imagine how huge it is but then you see it with your own eyes. Simply amazing

The temple of bacchus and surrounding ruins are an absolute wonder of engineering. Make sure to hire a guide because it will make your visit so much more enjoyable and you will learn so much. Photos can’t even begin to do it justice. If you get the chance, definitely visit!

A wonderful UNESCO world heritage site coming within the Baalbek Temple complex. Very well maintained and neat and clean. Check out the carving over the stone ceilings made back in the day, unbelievable

The Temple of Bacchus is truly incredible. Built around the 2nd century AD and dedicated to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, it’s one of the best-preserved and largest Roman temples in the world..actually bigger than the Parthenon in Athens! The scale is incredible, with towering columns (almost 20 meters high) and beautifully detailed carvings. The whole site is quiet and not crowded, so you can really take your time exploring and taking photos. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time. Absolutely worth the trip if you’re visiting Baalbek or Lebanon.

I can't believe there is a temple in Lebanon that I knew was only in Greece! Lebanon will be a famous city!

Stepping into the Temple of Bacchus feels like entering a forgotten world. The sunlight through those giant columns, the silence, the scale — pure magic carved in stone

This whole site is incredible to visit. It's well maintained, plenty of shady spots. If you love history, Roman ruins, this is a very accessible spot to visit. Easily reached by car, taxi, or bus. Small tip: Dress appropriately for the culture, whether you agree or not. We noticed a situation that could have been avoided with better clothing choices.

You can’t come to Damascus and not visit souq Al hamidiyeh. Even if you don’t find any goods to buy, the little alleyways, window shopping and snacks are enough to draw you here.

The souq dates back to the Ottoman era, being built along the axis of the Roman route to the Temple of Jupiter around 1780 during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid I,and later extended during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Nowadays it is one of the most popular shopping districts in Syria, being lined with hundreds of clothes emporiums, handicraft shops selling traditional crafts and jewelry, cafés, grocery stores, food stalls and ice cream parlors.

Very old and nice street. During the day it is very crowded, even though it is a must to visit. It has many shops and stores, mostly for clothes and antiques, but there is also the very popular "Bakdash" shop, if you want to try Arabic ice cream with pistachio or Mhalayh. For me the best time to walk and get to enjoy all the nice details of this street is at night when all the shops are closed.

Amazing place to buy traditional Syrian items. It gives me the authentic Syrian taste. It has shops for mostly everything as such, traditional Syrian textile, cloths, Syrian decorations, Arabic items, musical instruments, fashion and home accessories and more. All sellers and shop keepers are very friendly and helpful. They helped me to find what I need after welcoming me with a great cup of coffee on the Syrian way. It's must to visit when you are in Damscus.

Ancient bazaar starts with damas castle and ends with Umayyad Mosque Many handicraft shops and tiny roads lead to smaller bazaar You may spend half day walking and watching around Nice place , iconic for Damascus

In my opinion one of the oldest mall still operating in this world good experience to remember rest of your life.

Such an amazing old market of Damascus and a must see while visiting

A must visit in Damascus. For women, make sure to bring your own Abaya to wear before entering and praying at the mosque.

So much history and beautiful architecture. Was not busy when I visited. I could walk around and enjoy the art.

This is such a different, beautiful mosque with a long history - a mix of Persian and Ottoman detailing, so quite different from the blue ceramic tiling you see in other mosques. The courtyard and minaret are breathtaking. The inside is very spacious as well and can accommodate lots of visitors and prayers. Females are given brown cloaks to wear.

this place is so pretty I had such a nice day here

The level of love that is shared and exposed from people to this great man of history, Master of Martyrs, as can be seen when visiting his shrine, is so much that can only be compared to similar men of God; like Prophet Mohammad, Jesus Christ, Imam Ali, peace be upon them all. Imam Hossein’s Shrine, is a must visit for everyone in this world!

The feeling I experienced is indescribable, a strong spiritual feeling that I had never experienced anywhere else.

It's a great place to spend some time, especially if you like to shop. The stores have a little bit of everything, from clothes to electronics. You can grab a bite to eat and relax, enjoying the atmosphere. It's a convenient spot for meeting friends and family.

One of the best shopping destinations. Downside mostly woman related items. It not that big and parking is not a good experience

Mansour Mall is the first “big mall” in Baghdad and one of the first major shopping centers in the city. I have lots of memories here as i used to come here regularly with my family. It still has the same charm i’m used to. It’s filled with all kinds of stores, restaurants, cafes, arcade games, mini amusement park, and one of the first branches of Iraqi Cinema. Mansour Mall will always have a special place in my heart.

i love this mall very much it has many good stores and good food not a small mall, has a lot of floors and arcades for kids. overall, i think this is a very good mall for weekend visits or to go on holiday. i have nothing bad to say about this mall

al mansour mall A large mall that contains good brands and is crowded most of the time. It is considered one of the best markets in the region. It contains a variety of restaurants. It also contains large halls for children to play and contains a multi-selection cinema. It has difficulty finding a place to park cars, especially during times of rush and holidays

One of the best malls in Baghdad. There are a lot of good changes that happened to the mall. There are new brands that have opened in the mall, so I really recommend visiting it.

Nice choice for shoping alot of options affordable prices.. And cinema & kids area W nice cafés Totally good place for family and friends

Taq- Bostan ( Tagh Bostan) is one of the most beautiful and magnificent historical monuments of Iran, left over from the Sassanid period. These petroglyphs are very beautiful, detailed and principled. The combination of mountain, spring and lake has a beautiful and peaceful environment. It is very nice all seasons.

1- You will fall in love when you see this place, especially in autumn and spring. 2- To me, changing the area around the TAQ BOSTAN from a pool to a lake and creek and reviving the fountain that happened about 3 years ago, is one of the best decisions. 3- One of the best times for photography is at night when the moon is in the sky.

A panoramic view of the historic site, showcasing its vast expanse and architectural grandeur

It is okay, but not worth spending USD 4 for entrance fees to see just two items of carving!

I was there for the first time in my life, my friends which was born in Kermanshah told me that this place was a one of the most beautiful places in Kermanshah to explore, with the lake full of water and waterfalls in the middle of the park, but suddenly now there's no more clean water and greens in the area.

Great ancient history place. Clean and crowded. Hard to find parking.

Very nice place to visit. Those places have always been an attraction to people. The carvings are great. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to get directly in front of them. By a distance of about 10-15 m you can hardly get any detail. Especially the carvings on the side walls of the big cave can't be seen. Don't miss that place especially during Springtime, it looks a bit like an alpine panorama.

Ali Sadr Cave, located near the city of Hamedan in western Iran, is one of the largest and most beautiful water caves in the world. The cave is famous for its vast underground chambers, crystal-clear water, and stunning natural formations, including stalactites and stalagmites. The cave is believed to have been formed millions of years ago, and it was first discovered in 1963. It stretches over 11 kilometers, but only a small portion is accessible to visitors. The cave has several large chambers, and the interior is mostly filled with water, which can be explored by boat. The water is remarkably clear, and the surroundings create an almost mystical atmosphere. The unique features of Ali Sadr Cave include its underground lakes, narrow passageways, and impressive rock formations that have been shaped over thousands of years. The cave is open to tourists, and visitors can take guided boat tours through the water-filled chambers, making it a popular destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers. Ali Sadr Cave is not only a natural wonder but also an important geological site, showcasing the beauty and power of nature’s forces. It remains one of the top attractions in Iran, drawing visitors from all over the world to experience its breathtaking underground landscapes.

I highly recommend visiting this cave. The tour takes around 2-3 hours and includes a boat ride and walking. It's really fascinating.

Incredible. I can not imagine such a thing. it look like Pandora from Avatar Alisadr cave is the biggest watery cave in the world . You really think you're on another planet.

ali sadar , was shepared discover this. greatful to you . lets see some facts about ali sadar cave 1 it is water cave , temperature is cold more than outside 2 there is no bird and othrers animal 3 water is the only source of oxyzen

Wow. It was amazing experience since I have never been to a water cave before. Something you should see for yourself to perceive all aspects of its nature.

highly recommended to visit this marvelous cave in your trip to Iran . Iran eco tourism is under estimated by the historical attractions . believe me , give a chance to this cave and it will change your mood !! its a day trip , takes almost 4 to 5 hours to go there , visit and come back to Hamedan . Its in my recommendation to all my friends and sometime I accompany with them too . the visit is very well organised and the guides will show you the details in your cave crawling !! beautiful nature-made artistic shapes and interesting to know it took 150 million years to do so !!

It is a huge cave full of water. When you approach to location you would not expect such place midlle of semi-arid area. You will see some brokers at the entrance. Do not listen them proceed to ticket counter. There may be que most of the time depending on the season. Be ready for long que. We were lucky: mid July at 1pm no que at all. Cave has 2 boat tour and a walking /climbing course. Get your life jacked and enter the cave. Boat train will take you deep part of the cave then ypu will walk, climb up and down and get second both course. Not much english explanation.

This building is one of the best designs that was created by Mr.Seyhoon, the great architect of Iran. The past gravestones of BuAli Sina are kept in there, too.

So lovely, especially in blue time!

Bu Ali Sina Mausoleum: The construction of the current monument dates back to the Second Pahlavi Era (Mohammad Reza Shah) by Hooshang Seyhoon and is inspired by Gonbad-e Ghaboos Tower. It is also the burial place of Aref Ghazvini, the renowned Iranian poet, lyricist and musician. Very beautiful architecture—a fusion of both ancient and Islamic Iranian architecture.

The architecture of Avicenna’s mausoleum is lovely, but the museum inside is very simple. The indoor atmosphere felt a bit heavy, while the outside space has a much nicer, softer vibe. Worth a quick visit for the architecture, but the museum itself isn’t that special.

It was my second visit to the Mausoleum of Avicenna; I like this place very much because of its impressive and unique architecture. The museum is also excellent because it shows different herbs with their medical information. I liked the carpets at the museum, which are good examples of Persian art and the Persian rug.

Ibn Sina who is regarded as one of the most significant physicians, astronomers, philosophers, and writers of the Islamic Golden Age (1000 years ago) His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a philosophical and scientific encyclopedia, and The Canon of Medicine, a medical encyclopedia which became a standard medical text at many medieval universities

Great atmosphere with very tactful and smart architecture by legendary Iranian architect, Houshang Seyhoun. The museuem is worth a visit too and introduces old Iranian medical textbooks, tools, and approaches, some established by Avicenna himself.

Sa’d al-Saltaneh Caravanserai was built during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar by the order of Sa’d al-Saltaneh, the governor of Qazvin. The purpose of constructing this complex was to create a covered commercial caravanserai, providing a resting and trading place for domestic and international merchants. Due to Qazvin’s strategic location on the Silk Road, it became one of the most important trade centers of that era. Over time, the caravanserai suffered damages, but in the early 2000s, a major restoration project was undertaken to revive its historical identity and transform it into a cultural and touristic hub. Today, Sa’d al-Saltaneh has become a tourist, cultural, and artistic center in Qazvin. It hosts various handicraft shops, art galleries, traditional cafés, and restaurants, creating a vibrant atmosphere for visitors.

Whether during Ramadan or throughout the rest of the year, this place is perfect for sightseeing, enjoying food, and buying sweets. I’ve been there more than 30 times. On one side, it connects to the wood market and the mosque, and on the other, to Obeid Street. The old neighborhood and beautiful architecture make it a great spot for those interested in historical places.

Very big and fantastic traditional persian accommodation. Including perfect traditional stores.

A beautiful place with a great atmosphere for walking. It also has several shops, and cafés.

This covered caravanserai is remarkably large and awe-inspiring. Its historic architecture is both practical and charming. The restoration of the complex has been beautifully executed, preserving its essence while enhancing its appeal. In addition to lush green spaces, a picturesque market, and captivating pathways, visitors can enjoy exceptional café-restaurants that transport them back in time by centuries. Entry to this unique caravanserai is free.

This place is full of colors,peace and love. Visiting here can make you feel that you’re home.

It was a very old and historic place — I felt like I had traveled back in time.

Alamut means Eagle's Nest. It is the famous castle from the history of Persia. You may have heard its name in the movie Prince of Persia. It is said that the English word "assassin" came from the word "hassasin", the followers of Hassan i Sabbah, perfect killers in that era. Currently, the place is in ruins and it is being renovated but the work is very slow. It may take a few years to bring it to life. You will have to climb many steps in order to reach the castle. The castle is not worth taking pictures of, but the view of Alamut Valley from the top especially at the time of sunset is breathtaking. The road to this castle is way more beautiful than the place itself, my second favourite after chalus road. Lots of places for couples and families to spend time if they come here by car. There is a parking and a public toilet available near the ticket area, no food so plan your visit accordingly. The price of the ticket for Iranians and Tourists are different. Approximately, 3 dollars for tourists. DO NOT forget to keep water with you while climbing!

This is a castle with almost a millennia of history and belongs to several dynasties and groups. The sight of the valley is quite beautiful and eye pleasing. There's a ticket to be paid and there's almost 400 stairs to climb to reach the castle. But it is worth it.

The cheapest way from Tehran is to take a bus (80000-100000 Toman) to Qazvin, from Qazvin bus terminal go to taxi stop outside (20 min walk max). Ask any taxi driver to go to alamut castle and don't agree to the initial fares they demand. BARGAIN!! There are no fix rates. And, Qazvin is cheaper than Tehran. We paid (200000 Toman each) and it is expensive. It takes 2 hours and 30 mins max to reach there. Ask the taxi driver to drop you at Golestan restaurant which is just below alamut castle. Most of them will try to drop you afar and you will have to hike upwards with your luggage on mountainous terrain. Kinda tiring. Don't let them do that. If you plan to stay a night at the Golestan restaurant, you can either book a suite, room or you can sleep outside on a big table, which is the cheapest (they provide blanket and pillows). There is a restaurant at the top of the castle. You can have tea there but it's pricey. Enjoy!!

Mysterious stories of Alamut Castle in medieval times combined with the beauty of the landscape made for a memorable visit. The fortress was built in around 865 AD, high upon a rock at a tactical viewpoint where eagles might land. The name Alamut is said to mean"eagle's nest" or "eagle's teaching". Alamut was the headquarters of the Nizari Ismaili state. Of the many strongholds, Alamut is the most famous and was thought impregnable to any military attack. There are stories of its heavenly gardens, library, and laboratories where philosophers, scientists, and theologians could debate in intellectual freedom. The stronghold survived many attacks prior to the Mongol invasion in 1256, during which time the library was completely destroyed.

It is an ancient castle built by Hasan Sabbah in 11th century, to defend his religious cult (Ismailieh) from Holagu Khan. Holagu was a Mongolian ruler who conquered much of western Asia. Hassan Sabbah was founder of Ismaili state and his military group are know as Order of Assassins and they were famous for training eagles. The location of Alamut castle is on top of a 2100 meters hill witch makes it very hard to conquer. And it is very beautiful to look at because you'll be able to see effects on the mountains from last ice ages.

The walk and the sights going there are the best parts, the castle is covered with scaffolding but you can still walk a bit through and get glimpse of what is was.

A beautiful place for nature lovers and history lovers, the way to castel is OK when you going to castel ( up of hill) you have a best view for photo graphy

I went to Iran. At bibi Masoumeh Qom sa shrine. peaceful place. Qom is a beautiful city and has many institutions of education.

Its a huge and beautiful mausoleum with mosque and all facilities inside.

I will always be very grateful to life and I have met many great people. This is a lovely place where you get peace and happiness. I wish I could visit it every year. It was very interesting for me that the graves of Parvin Etisami and her father were here. The shrine of Lady Fatima, daughter of Imam Musa bin Jaafar Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) and sister of Imam Ali bin Musa Al-Rida (peace be upon him). She has several titles, the most famous of which is Al-Masouma. She left the city for Tus to visit her brother, Imam Reza, during his stay, but fell ill and moved to her Lord's side in the city of Qom. It was reported on the authority of Imam Al-Rida (peace be upon him): “Whoever visits the Masoma in Qom will have Paradise.” There is also a market inside the sanctuary, something I had never seen before. I 100% recommend visiting it if you pass through this city of Qom.

What a beautiful shrine of Bibi Masooma sa The sister of our 8th Imam Reza ع . Live to visit the shrine again and again to receive the utmost blessing of Almighty Allah through her.

The place is spiritual and it pours tranquility and peace inside you. I don't know about others but for me the place have special place in my heart . Do visit and find out yourself 👍🌺🌹🌹❤️

The Shrine of Hazrat Fatima Masoumeh (SA) in Qom is one of the most spiritually uplifting places to visit. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful architecture, and the deep sense of devotion felt here truly touch the heart. Hazrat Masoumeh (SA), the noble sister of Imam Ali al-Ridha (AS), is honored with great love and respect, and being in her shrine brings a feeling of closeness to Ahl al-Bayt (AS). The moment you enter the courtyard, you feel a special tranquility. The golden dome, intricate tile work, and gentle recitations create a soulful environment where one can reflect, pray, and seek blessings. Pilgrims from around the world visit this sacred shrine, and everyone is welcomed with warmth and reverence. A visit to her shrine leaves the heart softened, the mind comforted, and the soul filled with Noor (light). Truly, it is a place where prayers are answered and hearts find peace.

This Shrine is so beautiful. There is always so many people, they use Shrine to walk to other side of the road to not use bridge. Also there is drinkable water so people can take. Also there are people who sit on carpet and eat and take time. A spiritual and relaxing place for those who are looking for a suitable means of communication between themselves and their God, how good it is that this means is a person from the family of the Prophet.

A part of the central desert of Iran, which is accessible from Kashan, and after traveling about 50 kilometers, you will reach the old caravanserai on the Silk Road route, where it is possible to stay in it with prior reservation. The nature and beautiful textures of the desert can be seen and photographed in the winter season, but in the summer it is mostly a destination for off-road driving enthusiasts.

Unique combination of sand dune, salt lake and a 450 years old caravansera.

Very good place to visit. The best time to visit is winter. You can enjoy a desert trip and desert riding. Lots of people go the everyday. Good place for family but more interesting for young people. The desert is very endless. There you can find a accommodation very nice but you should reserve before, it gets full very easy. The accommodation is lovely. To go to this desert, you should either rent a car with driver or you can take a bus. I recommend to take a bus, because of the people and communication. This place is needs one day to visit. Take anything you want to eat, there you can find nothing, but only tea which will take 20 minutes to get. The night of desert is lovely. We have visited the desert for 5 hours and took 2 desert riding. It's the best

the golden sand dunes make the sight breathtaking

The Shah Abbasi Caravansarai of MARANJAB DESERT is a historical caravanserai built by the Safavid Empire and is located in the heart of desert It is in the list of the national heritage of Iran. This caravanserai is now used as a tourist accomodation With an impressive roster of famous guests. Among the lots of historical buildings that make up, this is blessed with large verandas that let guests take in the beauty of the surrounding.The strong point of it was neatiness. finally: enjoy your time there

I gave 5 star because the location is not far from the capital as the most of desert are far away from Tehran. You have to know how to reach and where is the camp location. Also there is a nice Caravanseri which is renovated as a boutique hotel. I recommend it a lot Adventure Iran Mike

It's a very quiet place near Aran and Bidgol city.in autumn and winter days,there are no wild animals in the area,but in hot summer days,there may be snakes or other animals

This should be a really nice place to visit as it has incredible views of Tehran but it’s let down by some issues. Firstly the parking isn’t great and the lifts are far too few for the number of visitors. The lifts inside the tower are also completely inadequate for how many people can visit the place in any one time. Overall the views are let down by the stresses and the headaches you’ll have to go through.

Milad Tower is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Tehran and for years I had wanted to visit. From the outside it is a striking piece of engineering and an undeniable symbol of the city. Unfortunately, the experience inside was disappointing and fell far short of what such an iconic attraction should offer. Parking and Access Reaching the parking area was frustrating. It took around 30 minutes just to enter and nearly an hour to exit. During that time we were stuck in the car with no proper ventilation, which made the wait extremely unpleasant. Facilities and Cleanliness The number of toilets is inadequate for the large volume of visitors. There was a long queue and the situation was more difficult because some people were using the space to perform vozo (ablution before prayer). Those waiting had to share the area with others preparing for prayer, which caused congestion and discomfort. To make matters worse, the bathrooms were not clean. Tour to the Top The process of reaching the open observation deck was equally disappointing. Out of our four-hour visit, almost two hours and forty-five minutes were spent standing in queues—first to buy tickets, then for the lifts, and again for each section of the tour. The view of Tehran from the top is beautiful and the glass-walled lift provides a good perspective on the way up, but there were no telescopes for visitors wanting a closer look. The number of lifts is not sufficient for the crowds. Either a timed-entry system is needed so visitors know when to arrive, or ticket sales should be limited. For the final levels of the tour, even allowing the option of using stairs would help. At one stage we waited 40 minutes in a queue simply to move up a single level. Other Attractions The Sky Dome section felt unnecessary. There was little of interest and a staff member kept announcing over a loudspeaker for visitors to “have a look and leave”, which created an unwelcoming atmosphere—especially frustrating when I wanted to leave but still had to queue for the lift. The final part of the visit included the Museum of Celebrities and the Museum of Municipality. Although the statues of well-known Iranian figures and displays of medals and honours could have been impressive, the presentation was poor. The space looked dusty and dirty, and the glass display cases were poorly maintained—far below the standard expected of a national landmark. Overall Impression Milad Tower deserves credit for its architectural and engineering achievement, and that is the only reason I have rated it one star instead of one. However, the visitor experience is badly let down by poor organisation, lack of cleanliness, and inadequate facilities. With better management and attention to detail, the tower could truly reflect the pride that such an important symbol of Tehran ought to inspire.

Tallest tower in iran and 6th tallest telecommunication tower in the world, Tehran overviews and museum of Famous Iranian people and poets on top of this tower 👌

Milad Tower defines modern Tehran. Standing tall among the skyline, it gives you a panoramic view of the city that’s simply unforgettable. From the top, you can see the Alborz Mountains hugging the city, especially magical during sunset. The observation deck is well-maintained, and the café at the top is a perfect spot to relax with tea while watching the city lights come alive. There’s also an art gallery and small museums inside the complex. It’s not just a tower—it’s a symbol of how Tehran balances tradition with progress. The elevator ride to the top is smooth and surprisingly fast, adding to the excitement. Whether you go day or night, Milad Tower offers a perspective you can’t find anywhere else.

Beautiful place masterpiece in entire Middle East

Milad Tower, with a height of 435 meters, is the tallest tower in Iran and has many facilities such as a revolving restaurant, an observation deck, a museum, and a conference hall. This tower has both telecommunications and recreational uses. This tower is a symbol of Tehran and is located in District 2. It is worth seeing and is also a good place for tourism.

An spectacular experience and a must visit for anyone! The city view is amazing and there are lots of fun that you could have up there, and with a fair price. Perfect for spending a special day with your loved ones. I spent my birthday here and made one of the most memorable and wonderful days of my life. This tower is unbelievably beautiful! Also there are lots of unique souvenir shops and restaurants to choose from. There is just something about it that makes it special. The best time to visit is when the weather is warm and partly cloudy, without winds. And make sure to go there when you could witness the perfect sunset and also see the city in night-time. It's like you are watching the whole city from an airplane window but you got enough time to watch everything and enjoy.

Well its obvious that the place is pretty old, Cable cars were so slow! The safety was a real concern They failed to provide a map for facilities Also as a first time experience in that resort i couldn't enjoy till end due to the fact that there was no instruction and no one was there to support Local coach, who called Arsalan had helped me a-lot in knowing the area and gave me some practical hints I recommend to hire a local coach this way you can enjoy Snack bar caffe had a nice design The entrance staff where so unprofessional and rude .beware they try to impose unnecessary charges All in all the resort is very beautiful and vast, however i prefer Tochal resort.

Although it's widely known for winter sports, I specifically love it during summer when a cool breeze touches your skin and warm sun keeps your spirits high. Above all, it's absolutely quiet during warm season, even on weekends.

Dizin International Ski Resort is a hidden gem in the Alborz Mountains, offering some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the Middle East. With its high-altitude location, the resort boasts long ski seasons and excellent snow quality, often compared to the powder in the Alps. The vast terrain caters to all skill levels, from beginner-friendly slopes to challenging off-piste areas for advanced riders. The breathtaking mountain views, crisp alpine air, and well-maintained lifts make for an unforgettable winter sports experience. Beyond skiing, Dizin offers a welcoming atmosphere with cozy accommodations, delicious Persian cuisine, and a chance to experience Iranian hospitality in a stunning setting. Whether you’re an avid skier or just looking for a unique mountain getaway, Dizin delivers adventure, beauty, and culture all in one.

Been visiting here for over 20 years now. Fresh powder all the time, nicely groomed slopes, great weather conditions season round. Easy 1 hr access from tehran. The hotel is not bad, hasnt been updated much. The on slope restaurants, cafes have improved a lot and quite enjoyable. Chairlifts are good, gondolas need upgrading. But all around pretty good quality. All round, you can not get conditions like this on any slopes in the middle east. Big thumbs up.

Dizin is the biggest Iran ski resort located in north of Tehran province. The lowest part of the piste stat from 2400 m altitude and the highest part is about 3600- 3700 m. There is to entrance to enter to the ski resort: 1- from Tehran city which is close to Shemshak city 2-from Karaj and Chalus road and close to Gachsar village Sometimes the road from Tehran to Dizin via Shemshak road will be blocked because of the avalanche The piste will open about mid December up to end of March and sometime April as well. I did ski on 2021 January again and it was well organized. the volume of the snow was also great and most of the lift were open and working very well.

Dizin Ski Resort welcomes professional winter sports athletes since a long time. It is the largest and most equipped ski resort in the Middle East and the first one in Iran. This resort is ready to provide services in both winter and summer. As a result, the many services of Dizin Ski Resort meets almost all your sportive needs on your checklist. Enjoy the time with all the equipment and create one of your unforgettable memories.

Without any doubt this ski resort is one of the best. It is extremely vast with spectacular scenary. This has been my favorite ski resort for twenty years!

Tabiat Bridge is one of the most beautiful bridges with the best architecture. It is very secluded. Both sides of the bridge are green spaces and full of eatables, restaurants, cafes, and playground equipment. It is truly unique. Walking is a great and enjoyable way to go A recreational place that is beautiful under my feet.

Quiet place for walking Lovers. It has an enormous view all over Tehran.

The Tabi'at Bridge (The bridge of nature) is the largest pedestrian overpass in Tehran. The 270-metre bridge connects two public parks — Taleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park — by span-ning Modarres Expressway. Tabiat Bridge was designed by Leila Araghian as part of a local competition for the design of a bridge to connect two parks in north Tehran, which were separated by a highway. In designing the bridge, a process which took a total of 4 years, Araghian wanted it to "be a place for people to stay and ponder, not simply pass". To achieve this the bridge is not straight and contains benches and seating. Construction of the bridge started in 2010, using a total of 2000 tonnes of steel, before it was fin-ished in October 2014. The bridge not only connects two parks, but it is also a popular gathering place for the community in its seating areas and restaurants, acting as a place for people to stay, not just pass. Some have described walking on the bridge as feeling like walking through a forest and a place of posi-tive energy where they can come to reenergize when feeling low. Four million people visited the bridge in the first year it was open.

A great place to walk, enjoy good food or drinks, and spend quality time with friends and loved ones—especially in the evening or at night during summer, when it’s a bit cooler

Its my five star spot . I love standing there and watching the highway . Very nice view . The location itself is very nice but about the facilities and cafes there, if you check them nowadays they are in a very poor condition which is so sad!

Well-designed bridge 👌👌 This bridge connects 2 parks (Taleghani and Ab va Atash) %100 Worth visiting

Tabiat Bridge is an absolute gem and one of the most amazing spots in Tehran. The architecture is stunning, with its sleek design and innovative structure that beautifully connects two parks, Taleghani and Abo Atash, over a busy highway. Walking across the bridge, you get breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Alborz mountains in the distance, especially during sunset when the whole scene becomes magical. The bridge itself is not just a walkway but a destination. With multiple levels, it offers plenty of space for strolling, sitting, and enjoying the surroundings. There are cafes and seating areas where you can relax and take in the peaceful ambiance. The integration of nature and modern design is seamless, making it a perfect spot for both locals and tourists. Whether you're looking for a relaxing place to unwind, a scenic viewpoint, or a spot for great photos, Tabiat Bridge is a must-visit. It's more than just a bridge—it's a unique experience that showcases the beauty and modernity of Tehran. Highly recommended!

Closed for months! We looked up the opening hours on the website beforehand and found ourselves in front of a closed museum. According to the security staff, the museum has been closed for months and the opening hours are not updated. Who knows what the regime intends to do with the breathtaking, unique treasures and valuable part of Persian culture. Definitely not in the interests of the people.

The registered phone number is not answered; it is constantly busy. Although it is stated that the museum is wheelchair accessible, this is not the case. We visited in the heat, struggled to find any signs of the museum, and eventually discovered that it is located in the basement, making it inaccessible with a wheelchair. by the way, the museum is located in the Central Bank building. دسترسی با ویلچر وجود ندارد.

I arrived at 1245 hrs for the opening at 1300 hrs and there were already around 30 people waiting at the entrance. I went on Saturday so maybe that is why but be ready to be in the queue! No bags and phones are allowed as cited by many ( you can leave inside the bank before going to the safe: they will give you a key so I suppose it is very safe), and two security checks (after you pay for the ticket and after you enter secure room) after, you will be grouped and usher by the guide. At any time, you are not left alone. Excellent English speaking guide was taking us around but certainly there are many people in confined place so be prepared to be a bit warm inside. You cannot touch display windows or you would be told off! But that’s understandable as there are so many of jewels! It’s only one floor which is divided three sections but basically one big room ( bank safe). No doubt amazing and beautiful jewels and so many of them. To be honest, after seeing first three displays (a Globe with diamond ruby and emerald), I just had a funny feeling of not being amazed anymore by the amount of diamonds and emerald in each jewelry. Basically there are too many precious stones in the safe of the Central Bank, after few minutes I stared not to appreciate all amazing jewels. Scale, volume and numbers of gemstones in each display was is like thousands in each pieces, far more than my brain can take. Still amazing really : for my simple life, it was just too many. Anyways it is an experience and if you have a time, it is a nice reminder of the wealth as well as skilled art of jewelry Iran possess. I kept thinking being a king is not easy if you have to wear all those beautiful but precious jewelry in every occasions!

Its the most impressive museum in our country.It is located in the building of Iran Central Bank in the Treasury.Musume is open from Saturday to Wednsday from 14 p.m to 16:30 p.m. There are a lot of jewelry inside and they do not let you to take pictures. I recommond you to visit this museum.

If you're into jewels and history, this place is incredible. You have to visit! But before you go, watch your STYLE! I wore ripped jeans, and one of the women working there gave me a couple of pins to close the open parts! The atmosphere is very strict due to the valuable jewels, and unfortunately, they can be quite rude to women. Entrance time 13:00,15:00 Sat,Mon,Tue

The Iranian national jewelry collection in terms of the value of historical artistic and unique is in such a situation that even the most eager experts and assessors in the world have not been able to calculate its real or approximate value.

This place has been closed for the past few years, please do not waste your valuable time. Visit other museums and great attraction in the city. Regards

Golestan Palace is one of the most beautiful and historic places in Tehran, located right inside the Tehran Grand Bazaar. After exploring the palace, you can easily spend time wandering through the vibrant market nearby. Originally built during the Safavid era and expanded during the Qajar dynasty, the palace shows a unique blend of Persian architectural styles. The intricate turquoise tiles, delicate plasterwork, and dazzling mirror decorations create a stunning atmosphere. The peaceful gardens with flowing fountains add a special charm to the experience. Having visited many European palaces, where warm colors are used indoors and ceilings are often painted, I find it hard to decide whether I prefer the European painted ceilings or the exquisite plasterwork and mirror art of Golestan Palace. Golestan Palace also played an important role in Iran’s history, witnessing events such as the coronation of Naser al-Din Shah and the signing of the country’s first constitution. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013, this palace remains a remarkable symbol of Iranian culture and history. It is definitely a place to visit if you want to feel the richness of Iran’s past and artistry.

Golestan Palace, this magnificent monument of the Qajar dynasty, enchants every visitor like an unfinished story. A place where Iranian art has reached its peak in unique architecture, delicate tilework, eye-catching mirrorwork and masterful paintings. More than a historical monument, this palace narrates the splendor and grandeur of the Qajar kings, court customs and lifestyle of that era. Entering Golestan Palace, it is as if you are traveling in a time tunnel and witnessing important historical events, fateful decisions and unique manifestations of Iranian art.

You can reach Golestan Palace by the Imam Khomeini metro lines. It is very difficult to reach by car and there is a traffic pattern. If you have a motorbike, you can go by motorbike. There are several exits to Imam Khomeini Station, and the closest one is the one in the center of Tehran's Grand Bazaar. At the beginning of the entrance to the palace, you must choose from a machine and draw a card. The cost of visiting each part of Golestan Palace is 15,000 tomans in 2025. You will be given a receipt and a receipt that they will stamp for you at the beginning of entering each hall. There are people in the palace who only guide you and answer your questions about the history of Golestan Palace during the reign of Nasser al-Din Shah. It consists of several sections and has different and attractive sections, it has a clean health service, a prayer room, a cafe and a restaurant inside the Golestan Palace, and the main tomb of Nasser al-Din Shah. One of the large ponds is without water, and the fountains of the ponds are not working and their water has rocketed. The behavior of the palace's services and staff is good, and the information on the signboards is not accurate and easy to read. I think you should do a thorough study of the history beforehand. The entrance and exit of Golestan Palace is through a gate. People who enter the palace with specialized cameras for photography and filming are not allowed to film or take pictures without official permission, but you can take photos and videos with your mobile phone camera. Chinese tourists are mostly seen here, some tour groups explain to them in English and tell the history and stories of the past. There are other people who explain things to Iranian speakers in Persian with precise analysis and excellent knowledge, and people can use these services for free.

The Golestan Palace, located in the historic heart of Tehran, is one of the oldest royal complexes in the city and a masterpiece of Qajar-era architecture. Once the seat of the Qajar dynasty, it reflects a fascinating fusion of traditional Persian art and 19th-century European influences. The complex includes several halls and museums, such as the Marble Throne Hall, the Mirror Hall, and the Diamond Hall, each showcasing intricate tilework, stucco, mirror mosaics, and ornate decorations. The palace was a ceremonial center where coronations and royal receptions were held, including that of Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Its lush courtyard and pools create a serene contrast to the urban bustle surrounding it. Today, Golestan Palace is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated not only for its artistic beauty but also as a living archive of Iran’s royal and cultural evolution.

One of the most beautiful royal palaces from the Qajar era, with stunning and eye-catching architecture and many museums, all of which I truly enjoyed visiting.

The most Beautiful spot in the city. Entry fee is expensive with 15.5Million IRR (EUR25) for foreigners but worth every Riyal spent. If you are in Tehran, a must visit spot. It is not just a single museum or palace, but a collection of many, including the most beautiful halls in the world, decorated with glass and other precious metals. Be prepared to spend 2-3hrs easily in royal premises looking back in time at the ways the highly priviledged led their lives back then

Beautiful architecture but every place is too simple and it has silly paintings. The fountains were off and the they charged us for tickets for closed places.

Until 2005, no one knew about this underground city. A person digging a well on their property stumbled upon it, and that's when the city of Ouyi came to light. Today, visitors can purchase tickets and explore its underground tunnels at their leisure. We've become so accustomed to modern cities and skyscrapers that it's easy to take advanced construction techniques for granted. But in the Sassanian era, such technology didn't exist. This city was entirely hand-dug, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Beyond its construction, its architecture and function are truly astonishing. The city is divided into three levels, each with numerous tunnels and chambers interconnected by vertical shafts. These shafts, or canals, served as both passageways and ventilation systems. Originally built as a defense mechanism during the Sassanian period, the city provided a hidden refuge and escape route. As we wander through the tunnels, we can't help but imagine the people who sought shelter here. The city is called Ouyi, which means "hey" in the local dialect. One theory suggests that people would call out "ouyi" to locate each other in the dark tunnels. Another theory proposes that the name was given to the city during its construction. The first level is a maze of tunnels, perfect for hiding and escaping. The second and third levels seem to have been designed for habitation, and it's likely that food and supplies were stored here. The city's lighting system is fascinating. Niches in the walls once held oil lamps, providing illumination. The ventilation system was equally impressive, utilizing U-shaped shafts and natural air pressure to circulate fresh air. There are two main entrances to the city. The first leads to a smaller area, and experts believe it may have been reserved for the city's ruler. The second entrance, accessed via a flight of 50 steps, opens into a larger space and was likely used by the general population. Other entrances have been sealed over time. At the heart of the city, there's a large open space that some scholars believe may have been used as a fire temple. Visiting the underground city of Ouyi is a unique experience. As you explore its damp tunnels and narrow passages, you can't help but feel a connection to the people who once sought refuge here.

I visited the Noushabad Underground City last month and I was amazed by the ancient architecture and engineering of this hidden gem. The underground city is a labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, and staircases that were built to protect the inhabitants from invaders and harsh weather. The city is divided into three levels, each with its own features and functions. The first level is mainly for storage and ventilation, the second level is for living and socializing, and the third level is for emergency escape. The city is well-preserved and well-lit, and the guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. They explain the history and culture of the city, as well as the ingenious design and construction of the underground network. The entrance fee is very reasonable, and there is a souvenir shop and a cafe near the exit. I highly recommend this attraction to anyone who is interested in ancient history, culture, and architecture. It is a unique and unforgettable experience that you won't regret.

Sorry but if you ever before visited an underground city, this one is not worth it. If it is your first, then you can give it a chance. It is rather small visiting area, we were done in less than 15min. The history sound interesting but the experience is not. You see only the first level, maybe in the future they will expand it to 2nd and 3rd level.

Prove of ancient genius work. And prove of how life always difficult to live. Really good maintain, I wish it is more people to visit then the shop around will not be too lonely and have work to do. Many people also need a nice coffee after visit, for real. ☕

A visit to the Noushabad Underground City in Iran proved to be an exceptional experience that showcased the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its ancient creators. This remarkable site, constructed during the Sasanian Empire and expanded in the post-Islamic era, has only recently been uncovered. Beneath the town of Noushabad lies a complex network of tunnels, chambers, air ducts, and canals that span across multiple levels. As I explored this vast underground sanctuary, I was struck by the incredible engineering prowess of the ancient Persians. Once serving as a safe haven for women, children, and the elderly during times of conflict, the city's importance and scale are truly impressive. My journey through the hidden gem of Noushabad has deepened my appreciation for Iran's rich history and heritage. Exploring the well-preserved living quarters, storage spaces, and water supply systems provided insight into the daily lives of those who sought refuge in this remarkable sanctuary. In summary, the Noushabad Underground City is an outstanding testament to ancient Persian innovation, and a visit to this site is highly recommended for history enthusiasts and adventurers alike.

A huge underground shelter built around 1500 years ago! A most visit. Use the same ticket you bought at the first gate to also visit the second entrance. When returning from the second gate, enjoy a cup of traditional coffee at the small coffeeshop when returning upstairs. Nice helpful staff. Great experience.

A must see place near Kashan at which you will learn a lot about the history of central Iran. Don't miss it if you are interested in ancient history. Just be mindful if you have heart or respiratory diseases. The tunnels are tight and oxygen might be limited although usual healthy people should be fine.

Mt. Damavand is the highest volcano in Asia and highest mountain in the Middle East. A special adventure that stays in memory, and found in video form on my YouTube channel. Kind hearted and generous Iranians on and off the mountain. Lovely days spent in Iran and its majestic highest mountain😍

Great environment and very nice tour. Technically not difficult but long and exhausting. Particularly at the end when hiking in the sulfor fumes.

It's wonderful ! Incredible! Wonderful! Terrific! very kind and Majestic! I love it. I reached the summit 6 times, once in winter season. It's really addictable. The usual ascending routes contains South side, North Side, West side, North East side and North West side (Sardagh Edge, maybe the more challenging route).

I captured this beautiful wonder Mt. Damavand while flying over Ahane Garamsar... so beautiful. It refreshed the Mount Fuji vibes, wish I visit and climb this beauty someday

Non-technical in the summer. Fast, tough and economical. The relatively straight ascent betray the real lethal risk from altitude sickness. Foreigners should acclimatise 1-2 days longer than locals at base camp as Iranians generally live in higher altitude (500-1000m). There are a few routes up that offer different challenges in different seasons to suit your training. Do consult an experienced guide on this. As with any mountains we cherish, bring down your own rubbish. Hire a mule to do that if you have to. There is near zero governance on waste management. It’s all dependent on the climbers.

A magic place. The shelter from 4200 m is very good, I was able to find there food, water, tea, coffe and the most important beautiful iranian people. Very difficult to climb after 4500 m, not because it is a tehnical route, because the lack of the oxygen. Take your time, do a correct aclimatization and Damavand will be a great place in your memories. Don't afraid: Iran is a safe country with amazing people and a lot of place to visit!

The highest volcano mountain in west of Asia and the roof of Iran with 5610 m altitude. Damavand has about 16 route from different directions to ascent the peak and the most populate one is the south face you have an easy access from Polour town. From Polour hut (the old base camp of Damavand)you can higher a jeep to take you to the 2nd camp which is called Gossfand Sar and from there you can start your trek towards the 3rd camp. the altitude of the 2nd camp is about 3000 m and the 3rd camp is about 4150 m. the best time for general hikers is in the summer time. Iran weekend (Saturday and Sunday ) is the most busiest time during the summer. you have to take good cloths for the peak and be prepared for rain or even snow. sometimes you will face very strong wind above 5000 m and wind stopper jacket is also recommended. The best plan is having 4 days trip for climb Damavand and spending one more extra day in the 3rd camp for acclimatization.

The most outstanding, extensive and engaging holy shrine in Iran, undoubtedly, Imam Reza’s Holy Shrine in Mashhad.

A truly peaceful and spiritual place. The atmosphere of Imam Reza Holy Shrine fills your heart with calmness and faith. Every corner shines with beauty, history, and love. Visiting here is not just a trip — it’s a soul-touching experience.

Passing so many people praying or sitting quietly in a counter of the courtyard, I often feel very positive energy visiting Iman Reza holy Shrine. It is beautiful to visit any time of the day but my favorite would be early hours of evening to the night when the color of the sky slowly changes and light in shrine and courtyard slowly give dim light. I appreciate people coming here to warship and pray which makes me to think about life. There are English historical experts at the Shrine kindly guided us through. While mere two hours are not even enough for this grand place, I also appreciated all the kindness people provided a visitor like myself. Very meaningful and fulfilling experience.

A Blessed Visit to Imam Reza's Shrine – A Truly Soulful Experience Visiting the holy shrine of Imam Reza (A.S) in Mashhad was an experience beyond words — deeply spiritual, emotional, and humbling. From the moment I entered the sacred complex, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and connection that is hard to describe. The atmosphere was filled with devotion, and every step felt guided by divine blessing. The beauty of the shrine, with its intricate tile work, golden dome, and the sound of heartfelt prayers all around, touched my soul. Standing in front of the Zarih, I couldn't help but feel that I was part of something much greater — a moment of true destiny. To be called to this sacred place is no coincidence; it is an invitation by the Imam himself, something only those who are truly blessed can understand. The hospitality in Mashhad, the kindness of the people, and the unity of hearts in prayer made the journey even more unforgettable. Whether it was performing ziyarat, offering duas, or simply sitting quietly in reflection, every moment was deeply meaningful. I left with a heart full of peace, gratitude, and hope — and a sincere prayer to return again. If you ever get the naseeb to visit, consider it one of the greatest gifts of your life.

A sacred city, steeped in devotion and whispered supplications—where every breeze carries the echo of prayer, and each dawn rises upon minarets bathed in reverence.

Nestled in the heart of Mashhad, Iran, the Imam Reza Holy Shrine stands as an architectural and spiritual beacon, drawing pilgrims from across the globe. At the epicenter of this sacred space lies the Razavi Grand Courtyard, a sprawling expanse of 60,000 square meters, designed not merely as a place of congregation but as a year-round sanctuary for pilgrims, defying the extremes of Mashhad’s challenging weather.

A place where you can find peace.. both spiritually and physically.. place where all prayers will be heard.. 🤲🏽

Khewra Salt Mine Tour I recently visited the Khewra Salt Mine and had a memorable experience. It's an impressive site—fascinating both in terms of natural beauty and historical value. The moment you enter, you can feel the uniqueness of the place, with tunnels carved out of pink Himalayan salt and beautiful salt formations illuminated with colorful lights. One thing to note: there was a bit of a wait for the train that takes you into the mine. It's a small electric train that only carries a limited number of people at a time, so depending on the crowd, you might have to be patient. But once on board, it’s a short and enjoyable ride through the salt tunnel. The entire tour lasts around an hour, which is just enough time to explore the main highlights, including salt sculptures, the underground mosque, the mini salt bridge, and a small brine pool. The guide was knowledgeable and shared some interesting facts about the history and working of the mine. Overall, it’s a worthwhile stop if you’re in the area. Just be prepared for a short wait, and wear comfortable shoes, as there’s a bit of walking involved after the train ride.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Khewra Salt Mines, and it was truly a fascinating experience! Known as the second-largest salt mine in the world, this site offers a unique combination of natural beauty, history, and engineering. The journey through the tunnels carved out of pink Himalayan salt was breathtaking. The air inside felt clean and cool, and the walls glittered with crystals. There are beautiful salt carvings inside, including a mini replica of the Badshahi Mosque, a model of Minar-e-Pakistan, and other landmarks — all made entirely of salt! The salt mosque inside the mine was a peaceful and spiritual place, beautifully lit and well-maintained. The underground lake and salt bridge were also very impressive. The tour guide was informative and made the experience even better by sharing historical facts and interesting stories about the mine. There are facilities for families and tourists, including a small train ride that takes you deep into the mine. Shops outside sell pink salt lamps and other souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall, Khewra Salt Mines is a must-visit for anyone interested in nature, geology, or history. A great place for families, students, and tourists alike. Highly recommended!

Overseas Pakistanis .Please visit those and help your country.They are doing a lot of hardwork and it is worth visiting.People are nice and friendly and it is just like a tourist site as any other country in the world.

"Had a great visit to the Khewra Salt Mines! The experience was both perfect and informative. The guided tour was well-organized, and it's fascinating to see the natural salt formations and learn about the mine’s history. A must-visit spot for anyone interested in geology or history!"

It's a cool place... literally. A guided tour from start to finish isn't more than an hour. You can go inside on a electric train for extra charges but I recommend walking as it's not such a long walk in and out of the mines.

Khewra Salt Mines: Absolutely incredible! A must-see. Exploring the illuminated salt tunnels and seeing the mosque and other structures carved entirely from salt was breathtaking. The train ride in was fun too. Highly recommend allowing several hours to fully experience it. 5 stars! While Traveling from M2 Motorway There are two options Take Exit from Kalar Kahar interchange. It's a hilly area with acceptable road conditions. Take Exit from Lillah Interchange. There is no road, in fact the road is under construction. Full of stones, dust, mud. NOT RECOMMENDED at all

First Thing First Amazing Place. A must visit for every pakistani. You will feel very proud. Second take the train if u not fond of walking because it is a long way into the Tunnel and also when u take a train you get a free Guide who explains each and every aspect of the Tunnel’s history, working how the minning is done. Pleas take your kids alonga s well so that they also know what minerals Allah pak has given to pakistan

It’s a nice beautiful ruins of an old fort. The tour guide seemed knowledgeable and kept us entertained with facts about the place. There is a lot of walking and climbing stairs involved so be careful. There is a golf cart bus service available too but it’s limited. Make sure to take water with you. Wear clothes that will go straight to the washer later.

Rohtas Fort is located on the outskirts of Dina city, about a 30-minute drive from the city center. As someone who has visited many forts due to my interest in history, I can confidently say this is the largest and most impressive fort I have seen. It’s massive, very well-preserved, and heavily fortified. We had an elderly guide who gave us an excellent tour, explaining the history behind every part of the fort — why it was built, how it was built, and who built it. The fort was constructed by Sher Shah Suri as a defense against Mughal invasions. Architecturally, it’s designed to function as a fortified city, and its structure shows how advanced and secure it was in the 16th century. The fort is not just historically rich but also a peaceful place ideal for contemplation and relaxation. It has multiple gates, each historically linked to different cities. For anyone interested in history, this site is highly recommended. However, a few things to keep in mind — if you're visiting with young children, be very careful. Many areas on top of the fort lack protective barriers or walls, making it risky for small kids. There is a canteen, but the prices are very high. I suggest bringing your own food and especially water. I visited in January, during winter, and even then, walking around the fort was exhausting. Water is a must. There is also a museum inside the fort, which is free to enter. However, photography is not allowed inside the museum. Despite these minor issues, Rohtas Fort is a fantastic place to visit for anyone who appreciates history and heritage.

A Majestic Fort with a Strong Summer Warning Rohtas Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site near Jhelum, is a monumental testament to 16th-century Muslim military architecture. Commissioned by the formidable Pashtun ruler Sher Shah Suri, its massive walls and strategic location make it an essential destination for history and architecture enthusiasts. However, visitors should heed a crucial piece of advice: exploring the grandeur of Rohtas Fort is an experience best saved for the cooler months, as the intense summer heat can make a visit extremely challenging. A Glimpse into a Storied Past Built between 1541 and 1548, the fort was a masterpiece of strategic design, intended to suppress local tribes and defend against the return of the exiled Mughal emperor, Humayun. The architecture is a fascinating blend of Afghan, Persian, and local traditions, creating a unique style that later influenced Mughal forts. The sheer scale is breathtaking, with fortified sandstone walls stretching over four kilometers, punctuated by 68 bastions and 12 monumental gates. Key structures like the Haveli Man Singh, the Rani Mahal, and the impressive Shahi Mosque offer a glimpse into the life and culture of the era. Why Summer Visits are Not Recommended The summer in Punjab brings extreme heat, and the fort's exposed, rugged terrain offers little respite. Exploring the vast 70-hectare expanse requires extensive walking on uneven ground, which becomes a strenuous and uncomfortable task under the scorching sun. For a pleasant and truly immersive experience, planning your visit during the cooler, more forgiving months from October to March is highly recommended. Planning Your Visit Rohtas Fort is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Entry tickets are priced at PKR 500 for foreign tourists and PKR 50 for local visitors. Given the fort's vastness, consider hiring a local guide. It is essential to wear comfortable walking shoes and to bring an ample supply of water and snacks, as facilities within the fort are limited. A Must-See, but in the Right Season Rohtas Fort is a magnificent historical site that offers a captivating journey into the past. Its grandeur and architectural brilliance are undeniable. However, to fully appreciate its splendor, it is essential to visit during the right season to ensure a comfortable and memorable experience.

The Government of Punjab should focus on developing and promoting these historical places to boost tourism, preserve cultural heritage, and generate local economic growth.

Rohtas Fort (قلعہ روہتاس) is a majestic 16th-century fortress located near the city of Jhelum in Punjab, Pakistan. Built by the Afghan king Sher Shah Suri, this architectural marvel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a remarkable example of early Muslim military architecture in South Asia. The fort was constructed to suppress the local Gakhar tribes and to act as a strategic defense post against the Mughal emperor Humayun. Spread over 70 hectares, Rohtas Fort boasts massive walls, towering gateways, and over a dozen bastions that reflect its military significance. Its most famous gateway, the Sohail Gate, stands as a grand entrance showcasing fine stonework and historical inscriptions.

Visiting Rohtas Fort is like stepping back in time—offering not just a visual treat for history lovers and architecture enthusiasts, but also a peaceful escape from urban life. It's a perfect destination for anyone interested in Pakistan's rich heritage and offers great opportunities for photography, exploration, and learning.

A critical page of military history of the region. The place has not been given the care it deserved. This heritage site is highly dilapidated with no care or maintenance whatsoever. Authorities need to seriously consider it's care and maintenance before it's all gone.
