It's a brick type mosque which dating back to the 9th century. It's one of the oldest mosques in Iran. This Mosque has also a 28 m high minaret belonging to the Seljuk Era (10th century)

An ancient building which has been turned to a mosque. Inside everything looks very simple but the spirit of the building makes you feel it's a mysterious place. Although there is eye-catching stucco around the altar which will remain in your mind forever. And a high wooden chair for the clergymen to sit and give speeches which is beautifully carved. Some signs of Mithraism in the basement can be found.

One of the most captivating mosques I’ve ever seen—standing with its elegant simplicity, stunning brickwork and delicate plasterwork..

Amazing mosque. The fresco work is outstanding and the traces of developments from ancient fire temple or palace to the more recent history can be observed. The pomegranates were nearby when we went. Don't miss the water reservoir next to the mosque.

Although the mosque is one of the oldest in Iran, it is still in use and is protected by Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization. A conglomeration of buildings. which are the most important Islamic relics of Natanz, consists of the Congregational Mosque, the mausoleum of Sheikh Abdolsamad Esfahani, a portal of a ruined khaneqah, and a minaret. Except for a domed prayer hall of the mosque, dating from the Buyid era, the other structures were built in 1304-1325 and belong to the Il- Khanid period. The mosque was built in 1304, and this date, along with the names of its founders, is written in blue-glazed letters on a yellow background of the south eivan as was customary in Il-Khanid architecture. The mosque was built on a four-eivan plan, and the Buyid prayer hall was incorporated into the structure in a very elaborate way. In the middle of the courtyard, eight steps lead to a qanat 4, from which visitors can still obtain drinking water. The south eivan 5, is not at all as sumptuous as is common in most Iranian mosques. It features a fine plaster-decorated mihrab, flanked on either side by two vestibules, only one of which (right) leads to the domed sanctuary 6.

Not touristic, very nice to visit, silence.

Beautiful and old fashion mosque with great architecture, check downstairs of mosque, it has a whole mosque underground! they still pray there.

Cypress tree is said to be over 4500 years old, 25m tall, 14m canopy diameter is said to be the oldest living tree in Asia. It is hypothesized that Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism, planted this tree.

A beautiful Cypress which is over 4500 years old in a very quiet and historical place, People believe that Zoroaster, the prophet, had planted this special tree and it only makes sense when you visit the place and feel it yourself.

Standing before the Cypress of Abarkuh was truly humbling. This ancient tree, over 4,000 years old, feels more like a wise elder than a plant—quiet, strong, and full of silent stories. It’s amazing to witness something so alive that has seen the rise and fall of empires. The energy around it is calm and grounding. You don’t just visit this tree—you connect with it. If you’re anywhere near Abarkuh, make time to stand beneath its branches. It’s not just a tree—it’s a living piece of the world’s memory.

before visiting this beautiful historic city I had no idea about Abarkooh . On my way from Shiraz to Yazd I had a chance to stop by and visit the Ancient Cedar which really had a positive ambiance , nice pomegranate gardens nearby & historical maze shape alleys & houses . If you go there , do not miss the traditional restaurants in the surroundings with their local delicious stews .

Cypress is a sacred holy tree in Iranian culture and literature. It's symbolic for immortality and long life. This tree is considered as one of the oldest trees in the country and there are few myths and stories about it . Some people believe it was the holy tree mentioned in the Zoroastrian holy book or some believe it was planted by son of Noah. Besides all this there is a great cafe next to it where you can enjoy a drink and relax with this old lovely creature

I like this tree a lot. This is the second oldest alive planet in the world which is located in Abarkooh city about 150 kolometers far from Yazd city.They estimated the age of this tree about 4500 years old with 25 meters hight and about 11.5 meters at its trunk and 18 meters higher up around its branches. Some people believe that it was a tree that Zoroater planted it.

Abarkooh tree is an oldest living creature in the world.it is 4500 years old.when i saw the tree for the first time, i felt peace and comforte,the atmosphere was great, beautiful sky and blowing breeze made me feel living in a dream

A must to see!!! Pasargadae covers the archaeological remains of the first capital of the Persian Empire, dating from the 6th century BC. Its most important monument is the tomb of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire who went on to conquer much of the ancient Near East, Southwest Asia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Spot half day to fully explore. Highly recommended!!!

A great place to visit, although not much remained of the former capital of the Persian empire. The ruins are spread over a large surface which is difficult to cover if it wasn't for the touristic car that runs inside the site.

A vast area of some ancient ruins yet not so much to see. There is a train-like vehicle that takes you from one place to see to another with a small fee. Better to take it.

Tomb of Cyrus the great. The tomp represents, in many ways, the resilience of the Iranian people. Most Iranians today identify a lot with the values of human rights from during Cyrusses times. He is a hero for most, and learning more about him made me understand better the Iranian people and my trip truly special. Please have a guide with you.

Where the history of a great Empire begins. Occupying a beautiful expanse of park-like meadow, here, at Pasargad, in a gabled temple recalling early early ziggurats and the temple at Musasir, Cyrus the Great (600-529 BC) was buried. Cyrus' temple-tomb crowns six stages which decrease in height as they progress upward, a miniature ziggurat, potent beyond any consideration of dimension. Take your time and enjoy your visit.

There is absolutely nothing to see except the tomb. I paid 2 500 000 Rials as a tourist.

Tomb of cyrus the great. Visit it with the audio guide. It worth it

Naqsh-e Rostam is a small but incredibly fascinating archaeological site in Iran that is sure to impress any enthusiast of history and ancient civilizations. Located near the famous Persepolis, it stands as an impressive testament to the power of the Persian dynasties—especially the Achaemenids.

Internationally known as Necropolis (City of the Dead), this ancient tomb complex has 4 different stone carvings, with each stone used to be the burial place of ancient kings. You'll be able to see the tombs of King Darius, Darius II, Xerxes, and Artaxerxes I. During my visit (Apr 2024), the tomb of Xerxes was being restored (the far right tomb).

Naqsh-e Rostam, located near Persepolis in southern Iran, is an ancient necropolis renowned for its rock-cut tombs and monumental reliefs dating from the Achaemenid (550–330 BCE) and Sasanian (224–651 CE) periods. The site features four large cross-shaped tombs carved into a sheer cliff face, traditionally attributed to Achaemenid kings Darius I, Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I, and Darius II. These tombs exhibit similar architectural designs, with façades resembling Achaemenid palaces and inscriptions highlighting royal ideology. Below the tombs, Sasanian reliefs depict triumphant scenes of kings such as Shapur I and Ardashir I, emphasizing their divine legitimacy and military victories over Roman emperors. A notable structure at the site is the *Ka'ba-ye Zartosht*, a square Achaemenid-era tower whose function remains debated—possibly a fire temple, treasury, or astrological monument. Naqsh-e Rostam served as a dynastic memorial, reinforcing the continuity of Persian kingship from the Achaemenids to the Sasanians. Its strategic placement near Persepolis enhanced its symbolic importance as a sacred and political landscape. Today, the site is a key archaeological and epigraphic resource, offering insights into ancient Persian art, religion, and royal propaganda. Recognized as part of the "Persepolis and Related Sites" UNESCO tentative list, Naqsh-e Rostam remains a testament to Iran’s imperial heritage.

Naghshe Rostam is a must-see archeological site located near Persepolis, it has a magical atmosphere, and you’ll be amazed that to see tombs of such great kings, and you’ll be more amazed to see that it also has some remnants from Ilamid Era, which dates near a thousand years prior to the Persian empire

Had a nice visit , but it’s really hot out here

Naqsh Rostam is not only an ancient place; It is a mirror of the glory of the Persian Empire, of the wisdom of Darius, the rule of Xerxes, and the strength of Cyrus. Every image, every petroglyph, speaks of a great spirit woven into the geography of this land; A soul that not only wrote history, but also carved it on stone.

A must to see!!! Naqsh-e Rustam, also known as The Necropolis, is an ancient necropolis located about 12 km northwest of Persepolis. It includes a group of ancient Iranian rock reliefs cut into the cliff, from both the Achaemenid and Sassanid periods. Its also an important funerary ensemble of Persian kings, particularly the grave of Darius I. Highly recommended!!!

Such an amazing salt lake is a must to come visit! I'm still so glad I came here with my friends! This pink is just so incredible!

One of the most beautiful lakes I’ve ever seen. The color of lake is pink and it’s like a dream. Unfortunately, you can find the water in the lake occasionally. But, you always can find some pounds around the lake which have the water of lake.

"The name of this lake is derived from the name of the village of Maharlou, which is located in the vicinity of Sarvestan. In Persian, this lake is called 'Maharlou,' 'Maharlu,' and 'Jenkan.' It is mentioned as 'Maharlouya' in Ibn Balkhi's "Farsnameh" and Hamdallah Mustawfi's geography. Lake Maharlou is located at an altitude of 1,461 meters above sea level, about 20 kilometers southeast of the city of Shiraz, in the Bakhtegan Lake basin. Maharlou Lake is the easternmost part of the Shiraz plain. Maharlou has highly saline water and during dry seasons, it is considered one of Iran's major salt reserves. Salt extraction from this lake is carried out by the salt production complex affiliated with the Shiraz Petrochemical Company. The lake's water is of the sodium-chloride and sodium-sulfate type and, during dry seasons, it is one of Iran's major salt mines. Three seasonal rivers, Sultanabad, Sarvestan, and Khoshk River, feed Lake Maharlou. The Khoshk River is a seasonal river that flows through the city of Shiraz and mostly delivers floodwaters to the lake during heavy rainfall. The lake's water typically evaporates at the end of summer, exposing the lake's white bed. In mid-summer, due to high evaporation rates and salt concentration, the lake's water turns a reddish-pink color due to the presence of a type of algae. Several villages around this lake include Maharlou, Mahmoudabad, Bakt, Berem Shur Aliya, Ghanbari, Dobaneh, Anjireh, and Ala al-Dawla. In recent years, the lake has experienced significant drought. During the drought in 2008, approximately 90% of Lake Maharlou dried up, leaving only marshes and seasonal wetlands. As a result of this drought, the flamingo population in Lake Maharlou, which was once estimated at around 100,000 to 150,000 birds, was reduced to only about 5,000 flamingos in the solar year 1387. In 2016, Lake Maharlou completely dried up, putting the metropolitan area of Shiraz at risk of salt and dust storms. Experts attributed the drying of the lake to the construction of two dams, Dorudzan and Siyowand, located upstream of the lake."

The lake is almost is drying up, may be its last chance to visit

Don't go near water by car, or you will trap into it's soil

Since childhood, this place has been my favorite in early spring. Visiting such a unique lake during the fantastic spring can cheer you up.

Unfortunately, the lake has dried up due to more drought

A magical and poetic place filled with peace and deep cultural spirit. Standing by the tomb of Hafez, one of the greatest Persian poets, is truly a moving experience. The architecture, the beautifully lit garden at night, and the sound of poetry being read aloud create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit in Shiraz if you want to feel the soul of Persian literature.

Visiting Hafez’s tomb was one of the most touching experiences of my life. The moment you step into the garden, it feels like stepping into a dream—filled with poetry, love, and the spirit of Hafez himself. I’ve always loved Hafez, but being there made his words come alive in a new way. The calm atmosphere, the scent of flowers, the sound of the fountain—it all creates a space where you feel deeply connected to something greater. One of his verses echoed in my heart as I stood there: “I wish I could show you, When you are lonely or in darkness, The astonishing light Of your own being.” If you love poetry, beauty, or just want to feel something real and timeless, Hafezieh is a place you have to visit. I’ll carry the feeling with me forever.

I visited Hafez Tomb at night, and it was very crowded in May 2024. Taking photos was difficult, but the traditional music created a special calmness, making it a place where you can sit for hours and enjoy the atmosphere.

The atmosphere is vey relaxing, you can find a café there and also a library. There are also shops you can purchase some souvenirs. The most important thing not to be missed is sitting there and relaxing. Don't forget it.

Hafez, known as Khwaja Shams-ud-Din Muhammad Hafez-e Shirazi (1315-1390), stands as one of Persia's greatest poets, whose Divan-e Hafez—a collection of over 500 ghazals—has left an indelible mark on Persian literature and culture. His poetry, rich with themes of love, spirituality, and human existence, continues to resonate deeply, influencing not only Iranians but also global literary giants like Goethe, Emerson, and Nietzsche. To this day, Iranians engage in fal-e Hafez, a tradition of seeking guidance by randomly opening his Divan, reflecting the enduring spiritual connection people have with his words. Hafez's final resting place, Hafezieh, is a pilgrimage site nestled in the heart of Shiraz, a city synonymous with poetry, gardens, and nightingales. Designed in 1935 by French architect André Godard, the tomb complex harmoniously blends modern and traditional Persian architecture, featuring an elegant ivory-colored pavilion supported by eight columns—a nod to the 14th century when Hafez lived. The marble tombstone, engraved with his verses, sits beneath this canopy, surrounded by fragrant rose gardens, reflective pools, and towering cypress trees that evoke the imagery of his poetry. Visitors from around the world gather here to pay homage, recite his verses, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere, particularly at sunset when the golden light bathes the garden in a magical glow. Recognized by UNESCO for its cultural significance, Hafezieh is more than a mausoleum; it is a living testament to Hafez's legacy, a place where art, nature, and philosophy intertwine, and where the poet's timeless words continue to inspire and unite people across generations and borders. His tomb, like his poetry, remains a symbol of Shiraz's soul—a city that celebrates beauty, wisdom, and the eternal power of words.

Tomb of Hafez, Shiraz. The Tomb of Hafez, located in Shiraz, Iran, is one of the country’s most beloved cultural landmarks. It honors Hafez, the 14th-century Persian poet whose mystical and lyrical ghazals have shaped Persian litera-ture and identity for centuries. Nestled within the Musalla Gardens, the tomb attracts countless visitors—Iranians and foreigners alike— who come to pay homage to the poet’s enduring spirit. The current structure, built in 1935 by French architect André Godard, features a pavilion with eight columns and a beautifully tiled dome, echoing traditional Persian design. Beneath it lies Hafez’s white marble grave, engraved with verses from his poetry. The surrounding garden, full of roses, citrus trees, and reflective pools, evokes the themes of nature and beauty present in his work. Hafez's Divan remains a fixture in Iranian homes and is even used in fortune-telling rituals during Nowruz. Visitors often open the book at random, believing the poem they land on offers guidance for their lives. The tomb has thus become both a literary pilgrimage site and a spiritual space. More than a tourist attraction, the Tomb of Hafez is a symbol of cultural continuity, love, and introspection —where poetry, architecture, and devotion blend into one deeply Iranian experience.

Very beautifully maintained mausoleum of the famous poet Farsi Hafiz. The garden outside is lovely and covers the entire graveyard outside. Neat and clean place and a good place to spend some quality time in the evening with friends

The Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque (Persian: مسجد نصیرالملک, romanized: Masjed-e Nasir ol-Molk; Arabic: مسجد نصير الملك), also known as the Pink Mosque (Persian: مسجد صورتی, romanized: Masjed-e Surati), is a mosque located in Shiraz, in the province of Fars, Iran. Completed in 1888 CE, the Qajar era mosque is located in the Gowd-e Araban district of Shiraz, south of Lotfali Khan Zand Street, next to the Shāh Chérāgh Mosque. The mosque includes extensive stained glass in its façade, and displays other traditional elements such as the Panj Kāse ("five concaved") design. The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List in 1955, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran. The mosque is a major tourist attraction in Shiraz, especially when the light hits the stained glass at sunrise. The mosque was constructed between 1876 and 1888 and is under use under the protection of the Endowment Foundation of Nasir-ol-Molk. Construction of the mosque was commissioned by Mirza Hasan Ali Nasir ol-Molk, one of the lords and aristocrats of Shiraz and the son of Ali Akbar Qavam ol-Molk, the kalantar of Shiraz. The mosque was completed in the Qajar style; designed by Mohammad Hasan-e-Memār, a Persian architect who had also built the noted Eram Garden before the Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque, Mohammad Hosseini Shirazi, and Mohammad Rezā Kāshi-Sāz-e-Širāzi. There is a poem inscribed on marble on entry to the mosque and the mosque contains extensive use of blue, yellow, pink, azure, and white tiles. The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque has two Shabestans, and the interior decoration of the western (or winter) Shabestan consists of a series of arches and vaults and two rows of six columns that divide the interior into smaller sections. The western Shabestan is connected to the sahn by seven wooden doors, each decorated by Gereh Chini, with extensive use of stained glass. The passage of light through the stained glass in red, azure, yellow, orange, and green colors is a major tourist attraction. There is a shallow and wide pool in the middle of the sahn. The Nasir al-Molk Mosque has two north and south porches, each different from the other. The northern porch of the mosque has three half-arches on three sides, connected to the sahn by the fourth half-arch. Orsi: Persian stained glass edit Although stained glass is popular in churches, the earliest discovered was in Syria from the 7th century CE.[dubious – discuss] There is evidence of techniques and recipes for obtaining stained glass by the Persian chemist Jabir ibn Hayyan in his book Kitab al-Durra al-maknuna (transl. The Book of the Hidden Pearl) published in the 8th century. Orsi[clarification needed] windows are windows made of a mixture of wood and colorful glass during the Safavid and Qajar eras. Orsi differs from stained glass used in many churches and Ottoman mosques which serve as illuminated images rather than a source of light. Light is a major feature in many mosques considering it being a major symbol of God in Islam. This is mentioned in the Quran: "Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth."

One of the most beautiful mosques in Shiraz. There is colour everywhere, on the walls, ceilings, domes and even floors. The architecture and symmetry is just beautiful. Amazing that it was built many centuries ago and still stands tall today. It's a fully functional mosque for worshippers and hence entry rules to be followed and respected. Entry fee is 2.5M IRR (EUR4) for foreigners

It is one of the most tourist attractions in Shiraz, It was an old and interesting mosque, what caught my attention the most was the colored glass inside the mosque, which, when the sunlight hits it, creates a very interesting and beautiful atmosphere inside this mosque in Shiraz, you can take excellent photos and it is recommended to go early, we were a little late but we enjoyed this moment very well. Recommendation first hour of the day, for Iranians they take 30 for foreigners 250, so you have to come with an Iranian and you can save money well recommended,

Please visit at 8am. It is too crowded and you will not be able to take good shots. I had a couple of hours in Shiraz and had to catch a flight. I will definitely visit again.

The Pink Mosque is absolutely breathtaking! The way the sunlight streams through the stained glass windows in the morning creates a magical, colorful display across the floors and walls. The intricate tile work and architecture are stunning, and every corner is perfect for photos. It’s peaceful and awe-inspiring, and a must-visit when in Shiraz. Make sure to go early in the morning to see the full rainbow effect!

The architecture is amazing, and the Iranian detail design is breathtaking. The colored glass windows are stunning, but unfortunately, they require everyone to wear a scarf to enter.

Beautiful place , however Although I was wearing a long dress and a full hijab, they still didn’t allow me in unless I wore a prayer chador, which is not a big issue. Taking photos with a regular camera was forbidden, and I don’t know what the idea or purpose behind that is! I also noticed that one of the girls spun around while taking a photo, and the inspector told her that this was also forbidden, considering it a form of dancing! There are many strict restrictions. I understand that we should respect the culture of another country, but I noticed that the people themselves were not welcoming of it! That is my hijab in the pic! Long hijab and dress They soon ran after me to wear Chador ! Though i did nothing disgracing the place !

Eram Garden in Shiraz is a vision of paradise on earth—with towering trees, vibrant flowers, and the sweet scent of orange blossoms in the air. This garden is not only a masterpiece of Persian landscaping, but also a haven of serenity in the heart of the city of poetry and love

I sought paradise, and found a garden overrun by noise and numbers. It’s a bit overrated and overpriced — a disappointing experience for foreign tourists. A UNESCO site and popular among locals and tour groups, but for independent small travelers, it is basically the most disappointing places in Shiraz. The ticket price for foreigners is higher yet what you get in return is a poorly maintained and heavily overcrowded garden with very little organization or serenity. The experience feels more like a chaotic park visit than a meaningful cultural site. The architecture is beautiful, yes — but you can only admire it from a distance, and the overall space lacks the tranquility or curation you’d expect from a place of such supposed historical value. This is a textbook case of “high fame, low quality” — where popularity drives the price up but the experience down. I will not come back here next time visiting Shiraz.

Eram Garden is truly beautiful and a must-see in Shiraz, with stunning trees, flowers, and the historic mansion. It’s also part of the University of Shiraz’s botany faculty, which makes it even more interesting. The garden opened exactly at 8:00 AM as written on the sign, and it was very clean. However, I expected better maintenance: during my visit (in summer, high season), many areas were under construction or closed, fountains and pools were not running, and large parts were not accessible for walking. Such an iconic place should be fully open and ready for visitors, especially at busy times.

Eram Garden in Shiraz is a lush oasis of Persian paradise. Its tranquil atmosphere, fragrant flowers, and ancient cypress trees create a serene retreat. A delightful blend of history and natural beauty, perfect for peaceful strolls and contemplation.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how ancient and beautiful the Persian culture is It’s lovely place to spend a day

It is a beautiful and nostalgic garden where u can find everything there such as a beautiful and ancient palace a very nice water pool , variety kinds of flower and plants fishes and …. The sounds of birds are amazing you have to visit this place once to experience an experiment which you can never see that anywhere else. It is also good for urban visitors to inspire a very nice architectural design for their own garden.

Ran garden is one of the most beautiful and important Persian garden registered on the list of world heritage of UNESCO with other 8 Persian garden and you should visit it during spring when all of the flowers are blooming and makes amazing scenery in the garden I highly recommend to visit early morning when it’s not crowded and would be great for photography as well. April 2024 :Update entrance fee for visitors is :2,500,000 Rls

The most beutiful shrine in Iran IMHO (I haven't seen them all, of course). I arrived here before 11 pm, such night sightseeing was more attractive than during a day. All lights were on, it was after the rain and on the ground lights were reflecting / shining / glowing in puddles. The view was breathtaking. Just take a look at my photos.

I was a bit sceptical about going to see yet another mosque during our trip, but it was really stunning, so I was very happy that we finally decided to come here. Sadly we did not have a lot of time to wander around and you really need some, cause the complex is massive. There are short tours for tourists to tell couple details about the place

You have to visit the Shah Cheragh shrine in the evening. With the artificial light you will imagine yourself in a story of 1001 nights. There will also be lots of Iranian people that come here to tribute honor to the Shah. The access is free and you will be asked if which language you speak, so that they organise a guide (also free) for you to explain and discuss. It has been a wonderful experience visiting the shrine and talking to people.

Nice place only at sunset time. In morning or noon time I don't recommend. For foreigners you need ask the guard to send local guide of themselves.

The site was given this name due to the nature of the discovery of the site by Ayatullah Dastghā'ib (the great grandfather of the contemporary Ayatullah Dastghā'ib). He used to see light from a distance and decided to investigate the source. He found that the light was being emitted by a grave within a graveyard. The grave that emitted the light was excavated, and a body wearing an armor was discovered. The body was wearing a ring saying al-‘Izzatu Lillāh, Ahmad bin Mūsā, meaning "The Pride belongs to God, Ahmad son of Musa". Thus it became known that this was the burial site of the sons of Mūsā al-Kādhim.

Extremely beautiful especially at night. Is open 24 hours, free entry. Non Muslims should take a (free) guide provided at entrance. He'll explain ghe history etc to you. However, with a guide around you, you can't enter the main shrine. If you're by yourself, you can easily enter the sanctum sanctorum and be impressed by the intricate mirror work inside. Take some out to visit Shahecheragh, it's worth it.

The Holy shrine of Shah Cheragh who is son of 7th Imam Musa Kazim & brother of 8th Imam Ali Reza (Descendants of Holy Prophet Hazret Muhammad (Peace be Upon Them), is important place hence, Shiites around the world come here to visit this Holy Shrine. Like other Shrines in Syria, Iraq, & Iran, this one is also beautifully decorated and well managed. Through out the year, during important Islamic events, different type of gatherings are held here. Everyone including non muslims can visit the Holy Shrine.

If you have planned to visit Shiraz, do not miss visiting the village of Ghalat. This village is located 36 kilometers far from Shiraz in north west of this city. It takes 42 minutes to go from Shiraz to this city. Having nice climate has turned this village a very beautiful and comfortable place for visitors who want to go on a trip. Even travelers and native people of this area choose this village for spending their weekend there. This place is mountainous and you will see several houses in stair type of structure. Tall trees have covered the view of these houses. The nature of this village is truly beautiful. The green lands, winding alleys and the sound of waterfalls shows how intact the village is. It will attract you to walk on foot around the village. As you are walking it feels as if you are the first person who discovered these alleys. Walking by every alley you will face vacant cities which are as old as the village itself. An old church, water mills and handcrafts like baskets, Melki(a kind of shoe), Mashk and wood crafts are all attractive concepts In Ghalat. You can also go hiking or mountain climbing on the green valleys of this marvelous village. You may as well visit traditional weddings and get acquainted with the old customs of the people of the area. This village is village named village of weed  in iran :) After walking in untouched sites of this region you can take some rest in traditional café and restaurants which are designed with woody decoration. You can try Iranian food or tea. In spring and summer you can sit on the roof of these cafes and look at the blue sky, mountains, and long trees while listening to music. It will give a fantastic moment. In winters everywhere is covered with snow. Its falls are as colorful as you can’t  imagine, you may never stop taking pictures from its beauty.

Qalat is the name of a village placed about 30 km northwest of Shiraz and it's 2000 meters above sea level . The weather is quite temperate so the village has all four seasons in a beautiful manner . Qalat has always been in the spotlight for many tourists due to its geographical location that's why it has become so populated till now . The increase in the population led to the separation of this lovely village into 2 districts ; historical and relatively - new . Qalat has an accent of its own for example in Persian ( no problem translates into : moshkeli nist ) but Ghalati people tend to say moshkili ni .

Qalat has always been the highlight of my trips to Shiraz. The narrow, old streets, the cool air, and the river just a short walk away create a completely different atmosphere. The only downside is the narrow, winding road, which can be difficult to navigate by car. The old part of Qalat can only be entered and exited from one side. I recommend parking in the car parks at the highest part of Qalat and enjoying the cafes, restaurants, and winding streets on foot.

Ghalat (or Qalat) village is located 36 km northwest of Shiraz city. It has a cool climate even in the hottest months of the year. Today, join us to learn more about it. But before we start let’s find the answer to this question. Why should you visit Ghalat Village? It’s easy, because; 1. Qalat village has been nationally registered as the first historical-natural rural texture of Fars province. 2. Pleasant and spectacular nature. 3. There is easy access to suitable amenities. 4. This village has important historical monuments such as a church. 5. It is easily accessible and close to the city center.

Qalat is a very beautiful tourist village. If you travel to Shiraz, be sure to visit here, I highly recommend it. Talk to the people there and test local drinks (Doogh and ...). enjoy the beautiful nature there also you can camping in summer. I suggest you visit here in the fall.

Without charm. A couple of buildings remembering south of France or Italian Toscana style but not in harmony. At the moment many other buildings in reconstruction clearly seems they will try to create some souvenir village for tourist. The "waterfall" are currently dried out. if you drive up behind the village the landscape is nice but not worth the hour drive from Shiraz.

Such a lovely place, the bast time to visit the place is in Autumn.... Spring is beautiful too.... If you do not mind the cold it has nice views in winter .... I like its summer for camping... the river and waterfalls would be almost dry during the summer and early Autumn.

Its not fair to pay 8000 toman for nothing

An ancient place where is returned to 1750 years ago.

It worth to be seen for 1 time at least.

I love anahita tempel

An interesting site Museum

Wanderful and ancient meusem

it worth visisting

The only attraction in Shushtar.. and i don’t advise u to visit during summer time , because it’s crazy hot .. There are bazar close to this place .. you will also enjoy it

Shushtar Water Structures is the biggest industrial structure that even before the Industrial Revolution, Bashtar Kemer tried to fix it. I don't say this, but the famous French archaeologist Madame Jean Delaufoy mentions it in her travelogue. For 2000 years, mud, clay and water have remained strong and stable together to form 13 water structures and bring prosperity and life with them. The sound of waterfalls echoes in your ears. The wind creates small waves on the river in the middle of the structure and you can see the happy birds flying around. No matter how much I say about the wonder of Shushtar's water structures, I have not said enough. You just have to be there yourself to understand its magnificence bit by bit. With all the ups and downs that this structure has seen, its life is now in danger and one day there may be no news of all this beauty and originality. There are 13 water structures in Shushtar and it was registered as one of the national works of Iran on December 17, 2017. In 2009, this structure was registered in the UNESCO World Heritage List

Amazing place to see the culture and power of architecture and Iranian people

This is one of the most amazing places I have ever visited in my life. Amazing System, brilliant engineering, and extraordinary architecture and nature are all coming together in this place. If you ever happen to visit Iran, make a plan to visit this amazing place.

So proud to visit another UNESCO World Heritage Site in my beautiful country. If you travel to Ahvaz, don't miss visiting this unique hydraulic system.

Nice to see this water dam. Be there near sunset, otherwise may be too hot in spring and summer. The river and the dam is beautiful, Though the town itself is not ready to host lots of visitors.

Another Iranian UNESCO World Heritage Site. This engineering wonder has been constructed in the Sassanid period and is some 2000 years old. It consists of a dam and channels excavated in the rock that guide the water from the dam to several water mills. In the 20th century the system was also used to produce electricity.

Chogha Zanbil is an ancient Elamite temple complex located in Khuzestan, Iran. Built around 1250 BC by King Untash-Napirisha, it is one of the best-preserved ziggurats in the world. The structure was dedicated to the Elamite gods, especially Inshushinak, and served as a religious center. The ziggurat originally stood five stories high, made of mud bricks and baked bricks with inscriptions. Today, it’s recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a remarkable example of ancient Mesopotamian architecture outside Mesopotamia.

One of the must see world heritage sites, back to ancient times, the people build the a big temple to worship the gods and make the gods of different ethnic groups and locations unite, this happen to build up the big civilization of Ilam back to 1200 years B.C. All you see here is glory of the ancient times, very strange feeling of seen a foot trace, back to 3200 years ago.

A unique and amazing ancient site dating back to the Elamite period, built in 1250 BC by order of King Untash-Napiri-Shah.

It dates back to the ancient Elamite period. A place of worship with cuneiform inscriptions on its bricks. It is very beautiful.

Eye-catching scenery. tranquil atmosphere. I loved this place. You can still feel the positive energy of your ancestors saying their prayers there. The vibe is perfect for meditation practices, I felt like I was connected to my ancestors and I was thinking of “interbeing” during the whole time.

*"Standing before the towering majesty of the Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat in Shush, I felt an overwhelming sense of awe. This ancient masterpiece, dating back over 3,000 years, is a testament to the ingenuity and spiritual devotion of the Elamite civilization. Its perfectly tiered structure, weathered yet resilient, holds echoes of a time long past—a place where history and legend intertwine. A true wonder of the ancient world!"*

A very beautiful magnificent temple in the middle of Dur Untash city. The temple is Built about 1250 years BC. It is located in a very green and idyllic area. In 1979, Chogha Zanbil became the first Iranian site to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. If you look at google maps you will see that there are many historical palaces and houses around it with different distances from the main temple, but unfortunately there isn't any pavements to reach them.

- I recommend one day trip - make the ferry reservation in advance - take care with you - has some historical places and some remnant from Gulf war - Bring your food with you

It's a barren land (almost) with relics of Gulf War all around. This calm n quiet place will surely be a relaxing gateway for you. Please plan your food, transportation etc beforehand as it would be very difficult to manage those locally. We stayed there overnight. But my suggestion would be going for one day trip if you have your family along with.

This is a very big Island near Kuwait under the Kuwait boundary. this place is inhabitant right now and it is under military control although you can visit the island and you can stay one or two night there. there are few of the houses present where you can stay by giving money. there is also one or two Resort present but they are a bit expensive the main attraction of this Island is there are many damaged scrapped Military vehicle present inside the island which were destroyed during Gulf War. another thing this Island is archaeological very enriched this Island was he was habitant by people long long ago, thousands of years ago. another thing about this Island is the sea water colour is very beautiful it's almost blue to Green and there are also a few camel farm present inside the island there is a specific ferry for carrying your personal vehicle to the island ferry time usually change with the time and weather

If you are in Kuwait you can not escape this piece of history. We booked a day tour with The Ikarus booth outside Starbucks at the outer exit of Marina mall. Ikaros is also the Greek name which was given to the island during the time of Alexander the Great. Our package included to and fro transfer as well as a buffet lunch. The service was excellent and we got a personal jet boat. The lunch was limited variety but doable. You will have to check if there are other options to eat but we were more into exploring the island than searching for food. Additionally we were carrying a bag full of snacks. Failaka Island takes you back to the ancient history of kuwait. The island has a beautiful beach to spend your day on. We did kayaking and enjoyed the sea and the sunset. There is an interesting museum which has specimens from the Bronze Age and the earlier kuwait civilization. Apart from this our package also included a bus tour of the island. We saw camel farming as well as some warfare antiques left after the 91/92 invasion of Kuwait. It's best to visit between November to April as you will experience cooler breeze and a pleasant weather.

This is a ghost town with not much to explore. We went on a day trip with Ikarus marine in their yacht. The trip consists of entry to the heritage village and activities there of. There is camel ride, horse ride, mini zoo, boating in a artificial lake, mini golf, mini museum with heritage antics, bus tour of the island. The lunch provided is also sumptuous with wide variety of dishes. There is also a cute Failacaffe with nescafe machine coffee, from an old defunct bus. The bus tour around the island includes visit to a yard with remnants of Iraq war 1991; there is tanks, howitzer guns, Jeep, trucks etc. The camel farm visit also includes a bonus of camel milk tasting for visitors. There is also a small patch of beach near the harbor with jet skis and swimming. There is old cooperative store, NBK branch, civil defense station all damaged during the war. It is a must see for everyone in Kuwait. The staff from Ikarus are very friendly and helpful. There is a lot of scope for improvement for the setup there, it is a big opportunity for tourism development in Kuwait.

One of the best places to plan a weekend getaways from Kuwait for relaxing, can be reached through kptc ferry or ikrarus private boats salmiya, private vehicle can be taken from kptc ferry service and the charge is 30 Kd, there is a park in island and few restaurants at one place also can plan stay a night there if accommodation available.

Lovely island to spend the weekend at! The wanasa beach is amazing for special occasions ( you need to book a table for 20kd ) it takes about 40-45 min from Marina to the island.

So pretty! But after going inside, there’s not much to do asides from a restaurant and the gift shop only had a couple items. Overall a good place to stop by if you haven’t been here before. Not worth going a second time though

I think it’s a nice park and the towers are quite striking from the outside. The day I went it was foggy, so I just walked around but didn’t go up. It was worth the taxi ride to visit and I would recommend it just to get outside and walk around in November.

Tickets easily available but to purchase online. Atmosphere is wonderful, and best view from the inside. This Kuwait towers must be visited in the Night for perfect and wonderfull view.

Amazing view of the whole city. The viewing doom has a snacks bar & drinks. it has two levels, non-rotating which is wheel chair friendly and the upper level ''stairs access only'' is the rotating one. An entrance fee is required ''at this time of writing the review, is 3 K.D. per adult, Elders on Wheel chairs are FREE of charge''. The middle sphyre has two resturants that serves Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. But a reservation must be made!! A really nice place to visit! Unfortunatly, before it has a gallary about the Iraqi invasion distruction. but they remove it after renovation. its a really peace of history and should be kept in there!

Standing proudly on the Arabian Gulf, the Kuwait Towers are more than a landmark —l they’re a symbol of resilience, beauty, and the spirit of Kuwait. Whether you visit for the breathtaking 360° views, the peaceful sea breeze, or just to feel the heartbeat of Kuwait’s skyline, the Towers never disappoint. A reminder that some icons don’t just stand tall they inspire

Architecturally amazing and a world famous signature structure for Kuwait......calm and quiet place... there is a beach nearby, families and friends will love this place

Great views! You scan the QR code at the front entrance way, pay, walk in, show your QR code that you paid for the view at the elevator inside the bottom of the tower building.

Al Shaheed Park is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in all of Kuwait. It’s more than just a park—it’s a masterpiece of nature, design, and culture brought together in perfect harmony. The moment you walk in, you feel an incredible sense of calm and appreciation for how thoughtfully everything has been created. The park is immaculately maintained, with lush green landscapes, stunning fountains, walking and jogging paths, and breathtaking architecture. Every corner feels picture-perfect, from the flower gardens to the reflective pools and modern art installations. Whether you’re here for exercise, photography, or just to relax, Al Shaheed Park offers the ideal setting. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of life—you’ll see families, joggers, and tourists all enjoying the beauty around them. The museum and visitor center are beautifully designed and add a deeper cultural layer to the experience, making it not just a park, but a destination of learning and inspiration. At night, the park transforms into something even more magical with its lighting and serene ambiance. It’s the perfect escape from the city without ever leaving it.

This park is so big, you need to spend good few hours here. Best to go at night as the lights and water fountains are on. The park is well maintained, clean and very beautiful. Taxis do go there.

Best public park I’ve seen in my travels, nice bathrooms and amenities including a bird sanctuary, mini old (and new) town, musical fountain with cafes and restaurants. Best to probably come around 4-5 pm as most museums aren’t open before but also if you come too late you won’t be able to admire the nice landscaping.

Visited Al Shaheed Park yesterday and it was an amazing experience! 🌿 The place is beautifully maintained with lush greenery, peaceful walking paths, and great spots to relax. The fountains, museum, and night lighting make it even more special. Perfect place to spend time with family or just unwind alone. Definitely deserving of 5 stars! 🌸

It’s is one of the most peaceful spots in Kuwait. Surrounded by greenery, fountains, and birdsong, it’s a perfect place to relax with family. The walking paths, shaded seating, and coffee shops make it easy to spend hours here. Best to visit early morning or evening when it’s cooler and quieter. A true urban oasis right in the city.

The place is very good for walking, jogging,running and the place is well maintained and the famous buildings in kuwait their miniature are built perfect and the musical fountains are excellent to watch will different lighting and good for families to enjoy the climate and relax without any disturbance. Visit the place and you will love and enjoy.

If you’re looking for a peaceful green escape in the city, this park is a hidden gem. It’s beautifully maintained, green and most importantly incredibly safe. Whether you’re visiting with family, your partner, kids, or just need some solo time, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. You can go for a run, take a quiet walk, read a book under the trees, or simply sit and soak in the chilled atmosphere. There’s a real sense of calm here that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s one of those rare places where you can truly disconnect and be present. I always find myself coming back especially during winter 😍😍😍😍

This s my first visit to the Grand Mosque of Kuwait. From outside, this mosque look descent and humble. But when I entered the mosque, it is marvelous, beautiful interior, fantastic dome, beautiful carpet, bluish and golden color make the interior so amazing. It is filled with Islamic calligraphy, all over the wall and the dome. In its exhibition hall, it has some calligraphy too from other countries such as China. You need to wear your cloth properly, and for ladies, you need to wear cloth that cover your body from top to toe (hijab, headscarf). Very beautiful.

This was the first attraction I visited in Kuwait City, and it did not disappoint! The building is absolutely glorious, the main hall is breathtaking in both size and beauty. The architecture is stunning and truly worth seeing. Entrance is free, and there are tours available in English, which makes the experience even more engaging. A must-see landmark in Kuwait City!.

The Grand Mosque is a breathtaking landmark that beautifully showcases Islamic architecture and Kuwaiti culture. The intricate interiors, grand dome, and peaceful atmosphere make it a must-visit in Kuwait City.

The Grand Mosque is absolutely breathtaking. 😍 It's so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Ladies are not allowed to go to the men section and vice versa. Do cover up dressing modestly, ladies need to wear Hijab (head scarf), no exposed body parts, arms and legs, need to be fully covered, no lace or transparent clothing. Men need to cover up as well wearing plain clothing like t-shirt and bottoms. No inappropriate writing and any pictures on the clothes. It's Free to visit and they have certain timings, best to go early in the morning around 9am.

Free guided tour provided as long as you follow the allocated time for guided tours. Some confusing information found online on the opening times for visiting this mosque. Do not come on Friday and Sunday. Though external of the mosque compound doesn't look as mesmerizing as other mosque in GCC, the internal decoration of the mosque has its own unique beauty. What I feel the best is the warm welcome of the guide and the free drinks (juice, tea, coffee, hot chocolate) and snacks provided in the reception area. This you won't get at any other bigger mosque in this region.

A beautiful and majestic mosque in Kuwait City. Tour guides are friendly and we enjoyed a pleasant and informative tour!

The Visitor timings are from Sunday to Thursday Early morning to 6.30 as mentioned at the premises through visitor gate 7. There was ample parking space and we were guided by the security staff precisely. Refreshments and the traditional wear for women were available at the reception area and the tour was a guided one.

Very strange market. One benefit and a drawback is that most of the traders are arranged in sections. All exchange offices are on one street, so you can compare the rates quickly. But on the other hand, it is difficult to find an exchange elsewhere. Goods are all the same in many shops: perfumes, rolls of fabrics. Barely anything for the tourists. Heritage street with mostly closed shops. All the sellers are sitting in the shops talking to somebody on the phones. Nobody's interested in the customers. Most of the shops are very small. How did you survive the covid?

If you want to visit the old market and bazar of kuwait 🇰🇼 that is revamped and renovated with modern looks, then you must visit Al Mubarakiya. Everything there is well managed and cleaned. Old houses and structures, that was once the homes of people, now turned into shops. The market structure and shops make me feel like the old architectural design from a story from Alladin. Street with warm lighting ambience in style of old lantern, structure, small ventilation windows, old retro door of houses with chain buckles, still used to lock doors of shop, Adobe looks of houses now transformed into shops, made you time travel into time. All the shops are well organised and you can find a lot of clothing, restaurants, tea shops, sweet shops, perfume shop there. I simply love visiting this area. As many people were there, I was not comfortable taking pictures of the vicinity but somehow managed to get a few shots. Barbecue of the one of the restaurant 😋 is delicious with a good serving size but expensive.

A nice, clean souq. You'll find a lot of things there. If anyone is looking for souvenirs, good luck! There is only one shop there. 👀😆 All the best 👍🏻😉

Very good place to visit and shopping, vertices of shopping and restaurants available in evening bussy walking street , visit late or in morning not too bussy

Nice place for shopping and eatery Very clean and neat market

Winter in 2024 and the temperature was 3°, i only reached there coz take some photos and midnight around 1/2 AM. And i get this photos....

The OG place for authentic kebabs and majbous! Great shopping for local herbs, spices, fish and perfumes. Love the vibe!

We had booked a deluxe partial sea view room. Rooms were of good size and even the toilets. Price also felt not that high compared to other beach hotels. But their restaurants and cafe were too expensive. Housekeeping was excellent. There was a warm water pool so we could use it even during this season. Breakfast was included, menu was good and had good varieties.

The valet service was bad, had to attend a wedding and they paid for the valet but I was told it was full and had to wait for almost 2 hours. If you have a wedding/event I advise to go at lease 1 - 2 hours early. Otherwise the hotel is nice

I had an excellent experience during my stay at the hotel. The property is ideally located, offering great convenience and accessibility. The cleanliness of the premises was exceptional, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. In addition, the service was exceptionally professional, complemented by a warm and friendly approach

Beautiful place to stay , the rooms are clean , I booked the sea view chalet and suite both have sea view. The chalet has direct access to the beach and large out door seating area. There were no hot water in the bathroom which shocked me when I was taking a shower in the morning!! No slippers ! Or bathrobe! No cups for coffee or tea !! There were no coffee machine even it was mentioned in the booking criteria.

It was ok. Service was good. Except for the reception last that helped us didn't speak good English.

Absolutely the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, it was a disaster. The rooms were filthy, with dust, stains, and an overall feeling of neglect. The service was beyond terrible—staff were unhelpful, rude, and completely disorganized. The so-called ‘view’ was a joke, nothing like what was advertised. The buffet was disappointing, with cold, stale food. The outdoor seating area was poorly maintained, dirty, and unwelcoming. The tea and coffee station was a disaster—no coffee machine, barely any options, and cheap, low-quality coffee . The fridge in the room was EMPTY and dirty —no drinks, no snacks, nothing. The worst part? Hygiene was non-existent. Used toothbrushes left in the bathroom, and dirty beds a general lack of cleanliness throughout the hotel. They make big promises, but the moment you ask for something, the staff disappears. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. It’s a complete waste of money and a huge disappointment. Save yourself the frustration and book somewhere else!

Nice hotel with super location and friendly staff High quality service and nice food at Alkout restaurant Access to a clean beach or pool at roof

In my opinion the best mall in Kuwait. Love to go every time. It is so vast that it would take days to explore. Every time I explore new things. Today visited the Food World. It’s simply amazing. I will need some more visit to complete all corners of this great mall. Love to go every time and recommend for my friends and family.

The Avenues is one of the most impressive malls I’ve ever visited! It’s huge, beautifully designed, and offers a mix of luxury brands, high-street shops, and great dining options. The layout is easy to navigate, and each section has its own unique style. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or just walking around, it’s a fantastic experience. Perfect for families, tourists, and shopaholics alike!

I visited this mall on August 25, 2025. It is the biggest mall in Kuwait and you will need half a day to explore everything. In terms of prices, all the items to buy are branded, so it is hmmmmmmm. It is a great place to explore and spend your free time. It is mostly crowded at night time but at the same time night time is the best for the best view. There are a lot of restaurants and coffee shops everywhere, so don't worry about food and snacks. It is also a paradise for children. There is a lot of entertainment for them, while parents should be careful because if you sleep, your credit card and wallet will be empty 🤣🤣🤣 Washrooms are available. Prayer room also available.

The Avenues Mall in Kuwait is hands down one of the most incredible shopping destinations I’ve ever visited—truly in a league of its own. The scale, design, and atmosphere are absolutely breathtaking. It’s not just a mall—it’s an entire world of luxury, entertainment, and culture under one roof. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how thoughtfully everything is laid out. The architecture is stunning, blending modern style with unique themed sections like Prestige, Grand Avenue, and The Souk—each offering its own vibe and personality. Whether you’re here for high-end brands, everyday shopping, or just to explore, there’s something for everyone. The cleanliness and organization are flawless. The staff across the stores and food courts are always welcoming and professional, and the variety of restaurants and cafés is unmatched—you can find everything from international fine dining to casual bites. What truly makes The Avenues special is how it feels like more than just a mall. It’s an experience. Families, tourists, and locals all come together here, and no matter how many times you visit, it never loses its charm.

I’ve visited many countries and malls, but The Avenues truly stands out as one of the best. From the easy access to the mall to the wide variety of brands, it offers a complete, well-rounded experience. It really felt like an all in one package; shopping, dining, and entertainment all in one place. Highly recommended!

I have been to this mall many times and it is a great mall it has everything you could possibly need. You can shop for clothes, cosmetics, etc. The mall has lots of restaurants. There is a movie theater and tons of benches to sit down. It's although huge but it's a very nice mall

The Avenues is the best mall in Kuwait—huge, clean, and has everything from luxury brands to everyday shopping!! I recommend visiting The Souk for a traditional vibe, Grand Avenue for international stores, and the Forum for cafés. One of my favorites is %Arabica for great coffee and a nice spot to relax. Parking is spacious and organized, making it easy to spend the whole day here with family or friends.

They are not taking customers for asian people. They are busy of their personal business.

They took a long time and there is only three employees in, we waited 20+ mins for just two meals very bad service just shut it down if you can't afford employees.

Staff doesn't have manners How To talk customer

The food is spoiled it taste sour like a spoiled one. I did not return it and did not let them. Change it but please make. Sure ur ingredients are all fresh to avoid serving us food that's so rancid and sour tasting.

I didn’t like the indian casher he was too grumpy maybe lighten up a bit and stop yelling at the other employees and take orders

Poor customer service i want to order but the staff not listening

Thank you habibi for your wonderful presentation.

One of the biggest volcanic crater in the world. 3000 meter diameter and 380 meter deep. We went in April 25. Going down was banned after an incident. There is a mosque nearby which remains closed most of the time.

THIS IS THE REASON I WENT TO TAIF and it was absolutely worth it. it is a very strange place in the most beautiful way. the air feels still, and it almost feels like you’re in the middle of the ocean or deep in the woods, it’s got that “nature at it’s most raw and brutal shape” type of feeling. i would recommend traveling during the day when there’s light as the roads are not well lit to the crater, in fact in some parts they’re pitch black. hiking to the bottom requires permission from the police, as it is quite risky unless you’re traveling with the tourism agencies. there aren’t any toilets or stores near the crater, but there are stops on the way to refill and buy supplies. would be a great place for astrophotographers, we were lucky to spot the strawberry full moon on this evening.

Al Wahbah Crater: A Hidden Gem in the Arabian Highlands Nestled about 250 km from Taif, Al Wahbah Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder that captivates with its sheer scale and surreal beauty. Formed by a volcanic explosion, this massive crater spans over 2 km in diameter and plunges nearly 250 meters deep. The white salt deposits at its base contrast strikingly with the dark volcanic rock, creating a dramatic landscape that feels almost otherworldly. The drive to the crater is scenic, passing through rugged desert terrain and small villages, making it a perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Whether you're hiking down into the crater or simply enjoying the panoramic views from the rim, the experience is both humbling and awe-inspiring. Facilities are minimal, so it's best to come prepared, but the tranquility and raw beauty of the site more than make up for it. Al Wahbah is a must-visit for anyone exploring the Taif region or looking to uncover Saudi Arabia’s lesser-known natural treasures.

A day trip from Jeddah by car.Once there you have spectacular views of the crater.It's not allowed anymore to go down but you can walk along the rim and enjoy the views.Temperature in December was around 27C at midday. One of the best places to visit in KSA.

Al Wahbah Crater is about a 4-hour drive from Jeddah, and absolutely worth it. A huge volcanic crater with breathtaking views, formed thousands of years ago by an underground explosion. We walked around the rim, the silence and scenery felt magical. The contrast between black lava rocks and white salt crystals is stunning, you feel yourself like on a diffident planet. Tip: wear good shoes, bring water, and go early morning or after 4 pm. Be careful if you are allergic, air contains sodium phosphate crystals, symptoms included skin irritation and respiratory discomfort, which are common in individuals sensitive to such substances. Descending down is not allowed anymore, and it is dangerous to be honest. It is truly a peaceful and unforgettable place!

Al Wahbah Crater, located in Saudi Arabia's western desert on the edge of the Harrat Kishb basalt plateau, is a natural wonder worth visiting for those who appreciate unique landscapes and outdoor adventure. This massive crater, about 2 kilometers wide and 250 meters deep, is believed to have been formed either by volcanic activity or a meteorite impact. The journey to the crater offers an exciting desert experience, with rocky outcrops and vast open spaces. Once you arrive, the stunning views from the rim of the crater are truly breathtaking. The surrounding landscape is stark but beautiful, with a white salt layer at the bottom of the crater, which creates a striking contrast against the black volcanic rock. During the cooler months, visitors can hike down to the crater floor, although it’s a challenging trek that requires good physical fitness and proper gear, particularly for the climb back up. Al Wahbah is a great spot for camping, stargazing, and photography, particularly during sunset and sunrise, when the shadows cast over the crater create a dramatic scene. However, the area is remote, and there are no nearby facilities, so it's important to come prepared with food, water, and supplies. While the crater is off the beaten path, it provides an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, hikers, and those looking to explore Saudi Arabia's diverse geological features. For the more adventurous, it’s an underrated gem that offers a deep sense of solitude and awe-inspiring scenery.

A road is going inside from Makkah road about 100 Km ( more than 1 Hour). It is a single road with no street lights , some part of road us well developed. There are several small villages , shops, tyre shop and petrol stations. On reaching Wabah crater , there is parking lot and a Mosque. If you are nature lover this place is must visit. No shops are there near crater It is recommended to visit in day for best view and safe driving. Use google map for navigation to reach Wabah Crater. My experience was I took my family to crater when we were going to Taif . On our way there was a lot of different types and shapes of mountains especially one was full pitch black. We witnessed a lot of cars on our way driving recklessly, be careful during driving. Wabah Crater is the largest and deepest volcanic crater in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a diameter of 3,000 meters. The white base is made up by sodium phosphate. Al-Wahbah Crater, also known as Maqla Tamiyyah, is a maar crater — a type of volcanic site formed by a phreatic eruption, a violent steam explosion caused by magma interacting with groundwater. The crater, located in the Harrat Kishb basaltic plateau about 270 km northeast of Jeddah, stands out for its immense scale and beauty. Formed about 1.1 million years ago, it measures about 2.3 km in diameter and 250 meters in depth, making it the largest and deepest volcanic crater in Saudi Arabia. Its depth and diameter are significantly larger than the average volcanic crater, and it features a shallow salt lake formed by rainwater accumulation.

Visited here to ziarah cemetery of the fallen syuhada in Battle of Uhud. The space is big. You can view the cemetery from multiple sides. You can try to climb up the hill but be careful as the slopes are full of rocks. I took this opportunity to say my salam and prayers to all the martyrs.

This is a secret place for Muslims in Madina. The site is massive in terms of the views and the space for walking. A few disadvantages; the square near the mountain is very filthy with the rubbish, but the cleaners are always here to clean after the tourists.It is just so sad that most of the visitors throw rubbish on the ground. Really shameful and unacceptable behavior. They distribute water bottles free of charge.

Visited Uhud Mountain on 13 April 2025. I love this place in Madinah Munawarah Saudi Arabia.

Visiting Jabal Uhud was an emotional experience. It’s not just a mountain, it’s a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. You can feel the weight of history in the air.

Visiting Mount Uhud was a deeply emotional and memorable experience. Located in Madinah, this mountain is not just a natural landmark — it holds great historical and spiritual significance in Islam. It was the site of the famous Battle of Uhud, which took place between the Muslims of Madinah and the Quraysh of Makkah. Standing at the base of the mountain, I could feel the weight of history. This is where many brave companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave their lives in defense of Islam, including the beloved uncle of the Prophet, Hazrat Hamza (RA), who is buried in the nearby Martyrs’ Cemetery (Jannat al-Shuhada). The atmosphere was calm and reflective. I saw people praying, reciting Qur’an, and sending blessings upon the martyrs. It reminded me of the sacrifices that were made for the religion we follow today. The mountain itself is beautiful and stretches across the horizon, standing tall as a silent witness to the past. Mount Uhud teaches us lessons of patience, unity, and faith. It’s a place every Muslim should visit, not just to see a historical site, but to reconnect with the spirit of Islam and honor the legacy of those who came before us.

Lovely mountain, that loves us and we love it. It's one of the key sights in Medinah and can be seen from all over the city. Some people climb the mountain using some of the off road trails. The mountain is very rocky, but from below it sometimes looks as if it's very green. Great views from above.

A Visit to Quba Masjid: The Foundation of Piety ​Quba Masjid holds the unparalleled honor of being the first mosque in Islamic history, its foundation laid by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself. Today, it stands as a breathtaking architectural masterpiece that beautifully marries profound historical roots with striking modern design. The mosque's exterior, clad in pristine white marble, features four elegant minarets and a cluster of domes that glow majestically in the Madinah sunlight, symbolizing purity and grace. Inside, the spacious prayer halls are cooled and the layout is symmetrical and welcoming, creating an atmosphere of deep tranquility and spiritual reflection for the thousands of pilgrims it can accommodate. ​Important Visitor Logistics ​While Quba is a spiritual sanctuary, visitors should be aware of a few logistical points, especially for elderly visitors or those with young families. Please note that children under the age of seven (7) are typically not permitted to enter the main mosque halls. ​For ladies, the dedicated entrance to the women’s prayer area is located towards the far rear of the complex. This requires a significant walk, which can be challenging for the elderly or those with mobility issues. However, the mosque does offer an intermittent golf cart shuttle service that provides a convenient pick-up and drop-off to cover this distance. This service runs in intervals rather than continuously, so a short wait may be necessary. ​If you are coming from Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque), a convenient paid bus/van service is also available, offering a direct trip between the two sacred sites, which is an excellent alternative to the scenic but lengthy Quba Walkway for those short on time or seeking comfort.
