Amir Chakhmagh Square is the historical and cultural center of Yazd, Iran. Built during the Timurid era, this huge complex includes a busy market, a magnificent mosque, a traditional teahouse, two cisterns, and a colossal square, all of which are integrated to form the city's pulsating heart. The square is impressive in and of itself. Its huge central pool, embellished with fine statuary, and the towering architecture of the surrounding buildings create a tranquil and enchanting ambiance. For generations, the plaza has been a popular gathering area for people, holding a variety of community activities and festivals. The mosque, at the core of the compound, is an Islamic architectural marvel known for its delicate tile work and high minarets. The bazaar, a maze of small lanes and busy shops, provides an insight into the city's extensive economic history. Cisterns, also known as ab-anbars, are subterranean reservoirs that previously provided fresh water to the city. The Amir Chakhmagh complex embodies Yazd's eternal character. Over the ages, it has undergone several renovations and restorations to ensure its preservation for future generations. Despite these alterations, the complex has maintained its original charm and character. For Yazd residents, the square has long represented togetherness and community. It is a location where people from all walks of life gather to meet, pray, and rejoice. The yearly mourning processions during Muharram, which end in the transport of a giant wooden tableau known as a ta'zieh, are a particularly moving indication of the square's importance in the lives of the locals.

It was a beautiful place. It was crowded with many people at night, but there were no people at all in the morning, so I was able to enjoy the scenery all to myself.

A historical square in Yazd, with a local bazaar and old town around it. Yazd has the largest ancient mud brick city in the world, and it is still active until now. Also known as The City of Windcatcher, where you'll find almost all of the ancient houses have these structures. As Yazd is a desert city with a hot climate, the Windcatcher will filter some air into the house and make the house cooler, just like an ancient Air Conditioner. You'll see even the fresco style is distinctive, with more use in colour yellow-brown, highlighting their desert location. Go visit the local shop to buy some Termeh, Yazd signature products. This can be used as table cloths or table runners.

Amir Chakhmaq Square is one of the most famous tourist places in Yazd and is considered one of the historical squares of the country, which shines like a gem in the old context of this city. This square, which contains many attractions from the market to the mosque and the mosque, is considered an excellent option for tourism; Especially during the night, which presents a very beautiful landscape in front of you. The most attractive part of this square is its three-storied building that attracts the attention of tourists before any other attraction.

The Yazd Amir Chakhmaq Complex is nothing short of breathtaking! As the sun sets, the square comes alive with a vibrant energy. Locals and visitors alike stroll through the area, soaking in the enchanting atmosphere. The centerpiece of the complex is its stunning fountains, illuminated with a mesmerizing array of colors that reflect the rich culture and artistry of Iran. Sitting by these fountains in the cool evening air, surrounded by the intricate architecture and the warm hospitality of the people, is an experience that stays with you forever. Visiting Yazd in the spring of 2024 was a true delight-Iran’s beauty is unparalleled, and this historic gem is a testament to its timeless charm.

I love it. You can buy local products and Candy’s.

Looks great lit up at night and a wonderful place to visit at any time of the day.Its a nice architectural building. Good place to walk and there are many beautiful shop around. at the corner you will find "Zurkhaneh" which is an old sport type. Needs to be on everyone's to do list when they visit Yazd

Al-Saat Square or Clock Square, Yazd, is considered one of the oldest clock towers in Iran and the world, and according to historical sources, it is the first urban clock in Iran. The construction of this clock tower dates back to the Qajar period, and the arches and arches, brick decorations and tiles engraved with lines of verses, etc. have given it a special effect. This square is directly opposite the street that leads to Yazd Grand Mosque. And it has a special effect at sunset.

Just infront of the Masjed Jame's street there is a tower with clock! In my opinion there is not something very special. Yes the tower itself is nice one but compare to the orher beautiful structures in this city this is not very attractive. Anyhow I thing two windcatcher adjacent this tower are more attractive.

Elegant Landmark. Nice maintained, good work from Local government, Salut!!

Just across from the clock, the Jameh Mosque of Yazd can be seen. This clock in its time in the past used to be an important element of the complex.

The most important watch in Yazd, was stopped when I saw it. Kinda wired!

saat square is yazd Big Ben... Its exactly in front of Jame mosque and its tile's color is like Jame mosque tiles...sometimes you can hear its bell's sound...

The clock is not accurate though

Yazd Jameh Mosque is a significant historical mosque in Yazd, Iran, known for its impressive Islamic-Iranian architecture. With origins tracing back centuries, it features notable iwans, domes, and tilework. Its minarets are prominent landmarks in the city. The mosque serves as a place of worship and holds cultural importance for the local community. It’s a popular destination for visitors interested in the history and architecture of Yazd and is listed as a national monument.

Jame Mosque of Yazd, one of the most important and historical central buildings of Yazd city, was created from the combination of three different mosques during historical periods. This mosque, which is known as one of the main sightseeing and historical places of Yazd, has a very long history with the passage of about 900 years since its construction. Jame Mosque of Yazd is a very spectacular place and one of the important attractions of Yazd city. Visiting hours are from 9 am to 5 pm. It is necessary to wear Islamic clothing.

I visited the Jameh Mosque of Yazd a few days ago, and I was absolutely amazed! This mosque, with its stunning architecture, is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in Yazd. The tall minarets (the highest in Iran) and the blue tilework are breathtaking from a distance. Inside, it’s so peaceful—the large courtyard with a pool in the middle, and the intricate ceiling and mihrab decorations are incredible. The history is fascinating too; this mosque has been standing since the 12th century and was renovated during different eras like the Safavid and Qajar periods. If you’re traveling to Yazd, you have to visit this place—especially at sunset when the lighting makes it even more beautiful. Just a heads up, Yazd can get very hot in summer (up to 46°C), so it’s better to go after 6:30 PM and bring sunscreen.

Though I've seen so many places all over Iran with breathtaking designs and architecture that appeal to the eyes, this one is quite unique. Definitely worth visiting and better to spend some time enjoying the beauty of it. I advise visiting it both in the morning and in the evening to see observe it with different lightning. Besides, there is a bookshop inside offering a variety of English books of Persian literature.

A historical place from the Safavid Empire era, which is very old and is one of the most popular places in the cosmopolitan city of Yazd. This place is seen with various architectures and patterns on the walls in authentic Iranian colors. Be sure to visit it. Shahriyar zarei (Iran-yazd) Instagram address ( shahriyar_zarie )

The most beautiful street of Yazd city starts in front of this mosque. There are many traditional shops from the mosque to the clock tower. You should see it at night and morning. I definitely recommend

One of best museum and old houses everyone traveling to YAZD should visit; I recommend to visit this house architecture as well and amazing information and photos how Iranians have built Channels (QANAT or KARIZ) in old days: one of masterpieces of engineering by Persians. Thanks to Water organization of Iran that has established this museum

A beautiful house, friendly guide, and a female guide who’s working at the water museum was very friendly and had a great deal of historical knowledge about the museum, especially the qanat system. If you are going to this museum, I recommend that you listen to this female guide's explanation. Also the explanation was free, entrance ticket price was 150toman (as of 2025, February)

This is really nice museum. Definitely worth a visit. Especially, if you will be guided by amazing young girl name Mahrokh Ebrahimi. Great english speaking girl give you a lot of informations and she is prepare to answer your questions with kindness. Thank you for educational visit:-) ticket: 1 500 000 IRR/person (foreigners)

beautiful place you gotta visit taking a trip to yazd

It's a Beautiful place to walk around, shop and eat different things. But the only thing that is a nuisance is cars and motor cycles are allowed to go through some parts of it which makes it difficult to relax while walking besides the fact that they destroy the air in an enclosed area. It's only a small portion. Go visit and shop for beautiful fabrics and yellow gold from Yazd, of course.

A traditional bazaar where I loved getting lost in eastern way of life , trading and market. Large amount of gold in goldsmiths. My favorite part was the copper-smith part. Nice decorative dishes. I bought some!

A simply architect ed Bazaar dating back to the 9th century. This Bazaar connects the square to the school which are parts of a complex that belonged to the old city of Yazd. it has various parts and it extends from Goldsmiths to tile working and copper smiths Bazaars.

Amazing place to walk and forget about the whole world good place if you want to immerse in to the reach eastern culture walk and explore many small cafe that you can go and rest some of them has their roofs open as well which will offer you a great view

Nothing too special just a nice clock tower and a good place to sit and eat some food.

The history of the construction of this square and clock was very interesting to me, and more interestingly, this point is considered the center of Iran.

Centre point of iran The Markar Clock Tower also known as Borj-e Sa'at-e Markar (Persian: برج ساعت مارکار) is the historical clock tower in Yazd, Iran. History The cost of building has been paid by a Zoroastrian from India, Pashutanji Marker.[1] The clock tower has been made on 26 Oct 1942. The Markar clock tower or Borj-e Sa'at Markar is located in the middle of the Marker Clock Plaza.The Tower is located in the center point of Iran coordinately. History Architecture Edit The tower has a height of about 4 meters, a square shape, a pyramid on, and looks like as an obelisk. The Tower is located in the center point of Iran coordinately. The movement system has been made in London by J. Smith & Sons Co. The spring should be charged weekly. Mirza Soroush obtained permission for, and supervised the construction of the Markar Plaza with gardens around it. The plaza is situated on the road to Kerman just north of the Markarabad school entrance. There are poems on four sides of tower from a local poet, Naser, which located in two lines and should read clockwise. The upper line poem is about Ferdowsi, but the lower line is about the benefactor. The last hemstitch (شادم از کردار نیک مارکار) implies the end time/year of building of tower in Abjad numerals system; 13:20 or 1320 (Solar Hijri), as well as Markar's religion (Zoroastrian) by using one of his religion maxims: "Good Deeds"; (Persian: کردار نیک). This hemstitch has an Abjad numeric value: 300+1+4+40+1+7+20+200+4+1+200+50+10+20+40+1+200+20+1+200=1320

Proud when your granduncle uncle has a square named after him. Legendary Peshotanjee Marker.

Zoroastian 1942 ild structure Markar square

That's an old clock tower located in a square in city. Based on people beliefs this tower has been built geographycally in the center of Iran.

The cost of building has been paid by a Zoroastrian from India, Markar. The clock tower has been made on 26 Oct 1942.The Markar clock tower or Borj-e Sa'at Markar is located in the middle of the Marker Clock Plaza. The Tower is located in the center point of Iran coordinately.

This restaurant provides the standard food and most of the staffs can’t speak English. Luckily, there’s a English menu. The restaurant is clean but the toilet is quite dirty. The restaurant is hidden inside the bazzar(walk for a minute, you will see the signage and turn right).

The staff was extremely rude and confusing — they had no idea what they were doing. The place itself was dirty and uncomfortable. We waited far too long, and even after we ordered, they canceled it without reason. Our food eventually showed up cold on the table, completely ruined. They clearly didn’t understand what we wanted, and didn’t care either. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. Total waste of time and money.

Sloppy canteen with an 80 year history that you must visit when in Yazd. Delicious bowls of Adasi lentil soup/daal, fresh bread and countless other meals are available here. Recommend coming for breakfast.

simply delicious and fun; lentil stuff, eggplant stuff, (Turkish) omelettes; even as a stupid tourist without farsi skills whatsoever and the absence of an english menu, they still managed to fill up my belly and let me walk out but a very very big smile on my face. locals also seem to love it. 5/5

Best Adasi soup! Really nice veg options if you’re done with eating kebab!

it was not a good experience after all, we had both kabab and juje and the food was average, even good maybe, not great, but the place was not clean at all.

You should try their Adasi (lentil soup) early in the morning, it's great! We also had lunch there, it was ok.

I had very delicious meat balls, spent couple hours sitting in the balcony and enjoying the view, really good atmosphere Gina from Lithuania

Food and ambience is best here .from traditional farsi delecacies to milkshakes and frenchfries all tastes great.roof top has a great view of the city and the badgirs hanging tall.

Everything was so lovely... You can enjoy drinking your delicate coffee while you are embraced by the beauties of Yazd city. Ancient architecture of the great mosque and Yazd gets along well with the persian classical music and lovely atmosphere of this cafe. Also the food is delicious and the staff are friendly. Such a unique experience

kebaps are really good, we liked french fries as well. orange juice is fine but i didnt like apple juice so everything okey. if youre tourist like us its not so expensive .

Unique view of Yazd city and especially the mosque The staff are very polite and yuo will have a good memorable stay

I spend good moments in there and enjoyed the atmosphyier a lot, the food was delcious and the view was wonder food. It is also convinient and cozy. The roof is good for photography and also a balcone. I suggest to see this place.

Great quality food and service. Even the ghormeh sabzi was recommendable and tasted nice.

Really enjoyed the location and view in a winter sunset. Food quality is acceptable but not the best in its class.

I had heard many praises about this cafe restaurant and that's why I decided to go to Nardon Cafe in the evening to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Of course, the cafe is on the second floor and has beautiful traditional tables and provides you with a great atmosphere. And the staff behaves very politely and respectfully, the price of the menu is a little higher than the normal part, and at the end, the tax or value added will also be included, which is unfair in my opinion, and in the last case, even for my drink, a container or The plate was not placed which is a sign of unprofessionalism or forgetfulness of the staff which cannot be ignored but overall worth a try.

I was there for sunset. The view of terrace and design of cafe itself are great. They were playing nice music as well. I paid like 500k tumen for one coffe, tea, sheesha, water and chocolate cake. I higly recommend the cafe for anyone and everyone

Good exprience at wonderful area. Roof area has a amazing view. Food quality was acceptable.

Gorgeous view, specifically during sun set with ambrosial drinks. Polite and know how to communicate with the customers. Great experience and highly suggested.

A nice cafe with a unique view at night, friendly staff, and delicious food. You can reserve before you go, so it's easy to manage your time.

Very friendly staffs, tasty food, and beautiful scenery! We got pizzas, hotdogs, and lemonade and really enjoyed them. Recommend!

I had my breakfast yesterday there. I found dirty dishes, poor quality food, angry personnel, high noisy boring music and expensive prices. I prefer a tree shadow and bread for breakfast in a calm happy environment! I don't like to recommend this restaurant to any Iranian or tourist guests. Try another one!

Tradition restaurant and nice atmosphere. The food were very tasty. The chicken kebab was juicy, not too overcooked.

Great restaurant with traditional atmosphere. Tottally recommend it. They serve food during Ramadan for tourists as well.

Good food in traditional setting. The menu in english has no prices but no worry everithing is ok :). Medium range prices with good large portions. I recommand it. You pay when you exit the restaurant.

Very nice and beautiful restaurant, good food and affordable !! :) I highly recommend you to eat here :)

Never go to this hotel. It's the dirtiest place in the world. The room is so small that you can't even move 4 steps. Considering the quality of services it is so much expensive. No table, no chair, no bedsheets, no enough space to change clothes and a lot of other such "No"s. Never never never waste your money for this hotel.

Nice and clean rooms! Good breakfast!

I was fascinated by the Zoroastrian religion and was very excited to see what it had to offer. But to be honest, for an entrance fee of 3,500,000 rial (as of April 2025), I expected more. The fee is the same as that of Persepolis, and while I understand the significance of this site, this is just my honest opinion. The path to the side building — the one with the panels and mannequins — wasn’t clearly marked, so it was easy to miss. There was another museum (the Museum of Manuscripts), and that one is much more recommendable.

Can stay here all day to meditate, calm and reflect myself. Holy energy place, indeed. Exhibit in the next building also educational with functional design, good curation work, well done!

The Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Yazd is one of the most significant religious sites, home to a sacred fire that has been burning for over 1,500 years. The architecture, inspired by the Achaemenid style, and the serene garden create a peaceful atmosphere. Informative displays and friendly staff enhance the visit. The entrance fee is relatively affordable compared to other attractions in Yazd. However, during Nowruz, the site can get quite crowded. Also, visitors can only view the sacred fire from behind a glass partition, as entry to the inner sanctum is not allowed. If you're interested in ancient Persian history and culture, this is a must-see destination.

Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Yazd: Eternal Flame of an Ancient Faith. The Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Yazd, known as Atashkadeh, is one of the most sacred sites for Zoroastrians in Iran. Located in the heart of Yazd, the temple houses a fire believed to have been burning continuously for over 1,500 years. This fire, known as the Atash Bahram (Fire of Victory), is one of the nine highest-grade sacred fires in the Zoroastrian tradition and was transferred to Yazd from Ardakan in 1934. The temple's architecture reflects elements of Achaemenid and Sassanian styles, with a serene garden, a central pool, and a brick building adorned with the Faravahar symbol above its entrance. Inside, the sacred fire is housed in a bronze container within a glass-enclosed chamber, viewable by visitors but accessible only to Zoroastrian priests who tend to it daily. Fire, in Zoroastrianism, symbolizes purity, truth, and the divine presence of Ahura Mazda. The temple serves not only as a place of worship but also as a cultural center for the Zoroastrian community, preserving rituals, teachings, and identity in a predominantly Islamic society. Open to visitors of all backgrounds, the Fire Temple offers a rare glimpse into one of the world’s oldest monotheistic religions, still practiced by a small but resilient community in Yazd.

Fantastic fire temple The fire is 1500+ years old and certainly worth to visit The fee for locals is 50000 tomans While for foreigners it's 350000 tomans 7 times more Which isn't a good pricing

If this is your first time visiting this area remember my tips 👇 1-Entry and Costs: - A small entry fee ($1-2 USD equivalent in rials) is charged for foreign visitors. Have cash in Iranian rials, as cards are rarely accepted. - Tickets include access to the temple grounds and museum. 2-Best Time to Visit: - Season: Spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November) offer pleasant weather, as Yazd’s desert climate can be scorching in summer (July-August) or chilly in winter. - Time of Day: Early morning (8:00-10:00 AM) for fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, or late afternoon for softer light ideal for photography. - The temple is open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, but hours may vary during Zoroastrian festivals like Nowruz (Persian New Year in March). 3-What to Expect: - Main Attraction: The sacred fire, visible through a glass window in a chamber above a pool, is tended by a priest. Non-Zoroastrians cannot enter the fire chamber but can view it from outside. - Museum: A small on-site museum displays Zoroastrian artifacts, scriptures (e.g., Avesta), traditional clothing, and explanations of rituals, offering insight into the religion’s history. - Faravahar Symbol: Look for the iconic winged symbol above the entrance, representing Zoroastrian values of good thoughts, words, and deeds. - Courtyard: A serene garden with a pool provides a peaceful spot for reflection and photos. 4-Understand the Significance: - The temple is a place of worship for Zoroastrians, centered around the sacred fire, which symbolizes purity and divinity. The fire is tended by priests and never extinguished. - Learn basic Zoroastrian principles (e.g., reverence for fire, water, and nature) to appreciate the site’s cultural and spiritual context. 5-Cultural Events and Festivals: - If visiting during Nowruz (March 21) or Sadeh (a fire festival in late January), expect larger crowds and special Zoroastrian rituals. Contact the temple in advance to confirm access during these times. - Engaging with local Zoroastrian guides during festivals can provide deeper insights into traditions. -Why Visit? The Yazd Fire Temple offers a unique window into Zoroastrianism, one of the world’s oldest religions, and Yazd’s role as a center for this ancient faith. Its serene atmosphere, historical significance, and architectural simplicity make it a must-visit, especially when paired with Yazd’s other cultural gems.

This is not only Iran’s history but the world and human history, a place which is a must visit for everyone specially for Iranian patriots.

Quiet, charming, nicely built, a lot of items and pictures in the museum. Strongly suggest it.

The museum is well structured and very informative. This is the best place if you want to learn more about the oldest monotheistic religion in the world.

There is this gigantic school that Markar built along with several other schools in small villages for poor Zorostrian kids and other relegions poor kids. I enjoyed every bit of its building and the philosophy behind it. Its building structure and architecture reminded me of Moghadam Meusum in Tehran.

A great museum for those who wants to know about Zoroastrian religion, if you visit Yazd then you definitely must visit this place ⭐

nice museum...polite docents...you can get a lot of information about Zoroastrianism... it's amazing, do not miss this place!

One of the best place in yazd with very nice and polite tour leader. They explained about zorostizian culture and the history of school and Mr Markar.

Very nice , every one should see this place it is amazing , there was great man who build school And You can know all about the great religions

The last son of Imam Jafar Sadegh. Died 18th December 1032. The dome of the tomb is nice but inside is very nice.There are four mosque minarets that are covered with very nice ceramic tiles. Also the dome is very nice and same as minarets is covered with nice tiles. Inside of shrine the walls and roof covered with piece of mirrors.

We visited this imamzadeh as two foreign women. We wore the chadors available at the entrance. We were warmly welcomed by the women in this beautiful place and enjoyed the serene atmosphere.

Very good place to stay at night

It's ok

An holy and spiritual place

Good

nice and peaceful.

Despite the name is Khan Bath but today mostly is Khan coffee shop! The Khan bath has built since 1797 by order of Mohammad Taghi Khan Bafghi ( Yazd governor). The area is 1170 square meter and was included several parts like Gaveroton, Shah neshin, Khazineh,...

Turned to a Cafe & Restaurant! Rendering traditional style of bathing in Iran, dating back centuries ago. Restaurant's staff were not skilled and impolite. I really enjoyed eating Dizi there! Polygonal construction of this Bath is highly demanding and suitable for taking photos.

Well, there wasn't much to be seen or enjoy. The entrance fee was a tad steep. But the gentleman working there was nice enough at least to take good photos from us.

The food was amazing, definitely try Gheimeh Yazdi and their Dizi Sangi

The staff are a bit rude. The place is well kept and you can enjoy a good tea by the water. There is free tea/juice on the ticket

Khan bath is an old and traditional bathroom from persian archeology. It's just one part of Khan complex including bazar, school, squer and bath. Nowdays Khan bath has different function; It's a resturant and cafe that serves traditional persian foods. Visiting Khan complex and specially Khan bath was good.

It has a calm atmosphere with traditional architecture. you can enjoy Dizy with Lyte pickle beside sound of water.

I love copper's natural color so I want to have copper things around! Go through this bazar that shows you copper in different shapes. Remember to drink 'Dough' (yogurt drink) in one of the copper gasses :)

Great place to bu sovenirs bit make sure to ask several shops. Prices differ hugely.

Great Bazaar to walk along and find workshops of copper smiths to buy souvenirs from.

Not bad

What a local, traditional and beautiful market! Here you feel like going back in time ...

must visit prices are high though but you can watch the process

Good place to buy and visit copper

Here is a popular place among the traditional part of Yazd city. The roof has a perfect view of the whole city and it will be awsome to watching sunset. Food and drinks quality is medium level. Staff are polite. There is an art gallery on the entrance and you could buy some souvenirs here but I recommend you to go and buy from other souvenir's shop on the way. If you only want to sightseeing the roof, you have to pay for the ticket.

Went up to catch the sunset, but the sky was too cloudy. Since dining or having tea includes access to the viewpoint, we decided to have dinner instead of paying the entrance fee. The food was a bit expensive, but the taste was fine. It was busy, and the staff were… neutral. Not rude, not warm — just doing their job. Might be worth a visit on a clear day when the view makes the experience feel more special.

Very lovely cafe with awesome view. I love the delnoosh juice . It’s really worth to come and enjoy

This cafe has a great view of the old town, and is very beautiful inside itself. The vibe is great too. The food is okay, but nothing special. The only thing I didn`t like was that they charge for 'just-looking'. So if you go there only for the view (without ordering anything), you will be charged (the price for foreigners is 3 times more that for Iranians).

This bar/restaurant offers excellent traditional Iranian dishes. Moreover if you visit the place at the time of sunset, you have a stunning view from the roof of the house over Yazd and the mountains at the horizon. It may be crowded at that time of the day, so you better make a reservation to be sure that you can have a seat in the restaurant.

Undoubtedly, Art House is one of my favorite places in Yazd. Enjoy a scenic view of the city from the rooftop during your visit. And don't forget to try the drinks. I just love them!

Simply the best lemonade! Charming ambience, friendly staff, and a breathtaking view—so relaxing and cool in the hottest days of summer on the roof! you’ll forget all about the city’s other attraction

Iskandar prison in Yazd is one of the most beautiful excuses to travel to this city and it can be considered an excellent choice for lovers of history, art and architecture. Iskandar prison in Yazd is currently also called Ziaiye School and this nickname and name was chosen because of the change of use in this building and the teaching of various sciences in it.

It's one of the historical attractions in Yazd Located in an ancient neighborhood of city. I really enjoyed it because several other attractions were near it like the oldest watermill.One negative point converting the rooms of this place into souvenir shops.

A place to stop by and quickly discover in the midst of other bigger attractions in Yazd. There are nice shops inside and outside of it.

Prepare to walk around a lot and explore! This place is much bigger that the entrance. There are tiny and narrow pathways that lead to other areas of the complex. The stores are cute. Definitely go stand under the dome… it apparently was called “prison” because of the fearful feeling you get standing under the tall dome.

It was not included in the period we went to. Especially at night, the view from the outside is very beautiful. It'ss located close to the hotel we are staying at. It's considered the city centre.

Based on what is mentioned on the wall: Molana Zia Al-Din Hossein-e Razi, the son of Sharif Al-Din Ali Yazdi, commenced building the Ziai-ye school know as the Alexander's prison in 631 A.H, and his sons ended it in 705 A.H (1306 ac). The dome chamber in the school boasts aprayer niche surrounded by impressive porticos, the adobe dome with its elegant plaster work and gorgeous water color commands a spectacular view, being a photographed example of the architectural style of mongolian era.

a perfect place for taking photographs and having a nice time seeing monuments belonging to past days. in this place you could also buy handcratfs as well

The place is located in historical area. It is an old traditional building which represents Yazd architecture, food is not high quality though. The price is low

That was my favourite place for dining in Yazd. I went there a couple of times. The food was always very good and the prices I would say midrange. Sometimes they don't have everything from the menue. the only minus point.

Nice place, calm and quiet Plenty of space if you are a group Food is good and at reasonable price We took the farsi salad, rainbow kebab and a eggplant dish All was good ! Service is diligent, quick and place is clean

Great food, superb atmosphere. Very nice staff and not expensive.

One of the best restaurants during our trip in Iran. Good service, excellent food and price in a family atmosphere

Very good and natural dough and tea drinks with good haji badooms for tea drinks. Baghali ghatogh was also good and bread was also delicious

A little bit removed in a narrow alley with access through a curtain. The evening we went to eat there was few people, but the food was excellent. Of all the kebabs we have eaten, and there are many, it was the best of them all. An absolute must.

Nice place but the food is average and expensive. With the right company you’d probably have a good time here.

a nice horsorical restaurant with a few VIP rooms that has traditional painting, if you want to use those you should pay a special fee. the food is not bad specially its pizza and the waiters are friendly.

Staffs are not well-educated and don't know how to serve a customer. most of the dishes are unavailable to order and the lightning is very poor. I believe there should be a hygienic problem as well. Highly not recommended. The quality of foods are very low.

Food is OK but they didn't have few items from the menu. We ordered coffee but after food no-one brought anything... We had to wear our jackets and get ready to leave until they remember to make that coffee... After we sat, it still took few minutes

They didn't have kashke badmejan or mirza ghasemi for vegetarain people like me T_T They didn't have ghezel fish on the menu and suggested another fish, but they didn't say price is double!! Personnels are polite and kind. The positive point is that they don't use plastic to serve food.

good but not so magnificent.

The environment was great and cosy. The staff are friendly. The live music sucks but generally it's a very nice place.

Shooleh was a nice starter with a different taste/ Gheymeh was a really delicious version of this food and we enjoyed it so much.

A restaurant in the centre with a nice atmosphere on a rooftop area designed with a comfy area to sit and dine where you can view the square and the famous Jameh mosque. We had pizza with fries and juices which were okay. The prices belong to summer 2022.

Tourist trap. The restaurant itself is fairly pleasant, but the food was poor and expensive. The mast-o khiar was plain yogurt with dried mint just sprinkled on top, with a squelch of old cucumber pulp. The salad shirazi was mushy and too acidic. The koobideh was small and strange. The rice, hard to get wrong in Iran, was ok and so was the joojeh. There are better restaurants in Yazd.

The food was good, and we liked the atmosphere. It was a pity we couldn't eat out because of the hot weather! We were four people and we got kebobs.

Food is fantastic! We ordered veggie soup, camel stew and meshed grilled eggplants which are super good. Mint lemonade is so refreshing. Highly recommend.

There were some insects on our table which is acceptable when you're sitting in an open area but when you find an insect in your bread package, it's awful! And the food wasn't anything special.

The taste and quality of the food were good. The terras view in the evening while enjoying my dinner was an remarkable experience. The service, hospitality and behaviour of the crew were pleasing. They were well-organized and attentive to their guests. The only lesser point in my opinion was the food being overpriced. My advise is to visit this restaurant whenever you visit Yazd in Iran.

Indeed more than sunset. Good maintaining, clear informations provided and non disturbing scene exhibits. Nice space you can't miss in Yazd.

This is where Zoroastrians used to bring the dead and leave them to be eaten by vultures, and the bones would be dissolved by acid in the hole in the center of the tower. The buildings down there were the temporary houses for the ceremonies, because this place was far from the city. Nowadays, they bury the dead in the cemetery near the towers. One of the towers is maintained and has stairs to reach, and the other one is almost ruined.

A must visit in yazd you can see most of the city from top Cons : a lot of graphity in the historical buildings it's as if nobody cares

The Zoroastrian crypt, which is also known as the Tower of Silence and the Tower of Silence, is located 15 kilometers southeast of Yazd on the crypt mountain. This crypt is one of the signs of the ancient customs of Zoroastrians, which is related to the burial ceremony of their dead; official that is obsolete today; But it has left a memory. This historical work is considered among the national works of Iran. I recommend to visit this place at morning.

Very hot in the morning. But worth a visit

One of the place that I found worth seeing the most in Iran. Quite impressive and teaches a lot about some values. Must learn about its history before visiting. It's good to learn about opening-closing times as well.

Abandoned places of Zoroastrian sky-burial. Here the Zoroastrians of Yazd would bring their dead to be eaten by vultures in accordance with their ancient customs. There are two towers, both are accessible, but tower on the smaller hill is more accessible for those who only wish to see one. There are decaying mud-brick structures at the base of the hills that are worth visiting also. The towers have been abandoned since the days of the Pahlavi Dynasty, so they can be visited without fear of offending any religious sentiments. There is not much to see when one climbs to the top of the hills, but if you have an interest in Zoroastrianism, this is probably a place that you must visit.

I think this place should be included in itinerary of every traveller visiting Yazd. The place has such a great atmosphere, and such nice interactive people join you to share their experiences, while you share your own. It's a divine place to enjoy your coffee, while having positive intriguing conversations. Their owner is an incredible person, has such a lovely vibe about himself and incredibly welcoming. I m so glad my guide Sepidah, brought me to this place and sure I had an amazing time.

Hey there I believe Tourism Cafe is one of the best places on earth. People there are so nice and they behave very kindly. I'm so happy that I had this opportunity to get known to this place and these kind people. I highly recommend it to everyone ❤🥰❤

As a tourist guide and the owner of this place, I should say Tourism Cafe is trying to be a nice cozy center in new town of Yazd for tourist and young locals to meet and spend a great time with each other. Here is providing tourists with having fun, chit-chat and visiting daily life of young locals and on the other hand as a bilingual cafe, is an interesting place for locals in term of practicing their English language.

As a language lover this place reflects one of the most important parts of my life where I met best ppl I could ever meet. Hanging out with peers and tourists in different languages gives me infinite joy. With the great map on the wall, u may find yourself being amazed by the greatness of earth Truly love the place don't miss it❤️

Good to see a friendly environment for learning different languages or having classes or for just having fun with other native people or tourists. I said tourists. I met Chinese ,Spanish,Polish and English people there. Also if someone wants to learn another language but feels shy the owner helps him/her to find a good friendly matched team so can he/she work with.

It's a nice place for finding cool friends, that type of helpful friends who help you and result in a great improve in your English speaking skills. As well you can find this chance to meet tourists and talk to them sometimes here that is really cool😍

I'm a regular Mafia player here in Tourism Cafe and I should say beside practicing your lingual skills, you can play some games in English there are some other events and entertainments here like Tourism events and so on that are interesting and can be counted as an attraction in Yazd

Loved everything Also the fact that staff actually explain the history of artifacts is fantastic

You should explore Yazd carefully. Historical monuments are historical evidence, not written down or censored by the ruler of the time. The authentic Iranian civilization and culture is worth seeing in Yazd.

I have visited many museums in different cities in Iran, but this museum had interesting things for me that I had not seen anywhere else. At the beginning of the entry, each person was given a shoe cover, no one was allowed to bring a bag into the museum, and everyone had to give their mobile phone to the museum official for inspection. After we passed through the machine and entered the museum grounds. The environment was very clean and fragrant, and the people working in the museum were trained and knowledgeable, and if needed, they provided the necessary explanations.This museum was very interesting. There were very precious and valuable items kept there that I had not seen in other similar museums. The museum was amazing in places. It used to be the home of a person named Reza Sarafzadeh, who was a great businessman in Yazd, and it was a very interesting and spectacular place. The whole time I was there, I was thinking that I wish all the museums and historical sites of my beloved country Iran were full of foreign tourists so that the treasures of Iran could be shown to the whole world. Hoping for that day 🤍🙏🏽✨

One of the best museums I've seen all over Iran. Full of antique mirrors and historical objects! Don't fort to look at the room ceilings! Very beautiful... Also if you reach there, visit by the fabric factory at the next wall. Worth visiting

The twin sister of the time museum in Tehran, workers are very welcoming and informative. There is a new carpet museum next to it.

According to the name of the museum, you expect not to be met. Seeing the number of contemporary oil lamps is not attractive. You will not miss anything by visiting the museum's pictures without visiting it . Here is a small drop from the Mirror of Isfahan

It worths visiting, but it's not high priority in Yazd. Good thins is that there's 2 other musem next to it about antique cars and precsious stones.

It’s a beautiful mosque but the enviroment is’nt really good because it’s in the middle of the city and really crowded

Amir Chaqmaq Mosque complex is a historical place built in the middle ages by Timurid Ruler Amir Chaqmaq. Strolling on the open space in front of the mosque and in the market is a sort of time travel. You can enjoy doing nothing and simply being there.

Amazing 😍🤩 Fantastic 😍😊 Great architecture Good atmosphere 😃 Full energy Full life Full of movement

That's beautiful desert behind Wetland and you can see a fow wild bird in here

A must see historical place in Yazd.

Amir Chakhmaq Complex, 15. Century (Timurid Era) eastern style square

I had a good time chilling there .. beautiful and peaceful

Really interesting and beautiful in a way. A traditional Persian training initially for soldiers. When the Arabs invaded Persia these centres served as secret meeting places to keep soldiers trained. Dont forget to see the water supply underneath! Just follow the signs, to the stairs below the stand of the musicians.

Really enjoyed the local sports performance. It is quite touristic though. In addition it is possible to take a look at the water reservoir, which is under the place.

You can see the ancient sport of Zirkaneh here. They are very welcoming and interesting. 100,000 Rials for entry also includes a look down at the old water reservoir underneath.

It was my first time being at a Zurkhaneh which is a kind of a traditional Iranian gym. This one used to be a water supply in the past then Zurkhaneh was built above it some years ago. Now you can visit the old water supply and their performance. Just make sure to check their performance times and then give there a visit.

It was always a dream for me to see the oldest and traditional sport of our culture but unfortunately the ladies weren't allowed to but here they let every one in to see the show. Amazing

For sure visit it specially at night to visit the old Iranian gym(zour xaneh). But by the architecture alone it's more beautiful from outside than inside. Downstairs you'll see the deepest water houses in Iran.

An interesting show with friendly people trying to keep a tradition alive. Very talented musician and nice building also. Definitely recommend seeing if you are in Yazd.

I love the design of this tiny cosy cafe. It has 2 floors and a semi outdoor table plan. The mocktail options are plenty, and the presentation is really beautiful. The choice for the background music is outstanding. Ordered a tiramisu and it was more like a coffee cake, it needs to be much softer with more cream and less "cakey" 😂 The waiters are also just kind of forget about us and didn't come to take the order despite pressing the service button multiple times. However, if you're in Yazd and you don't feel like having something traditional, do pay this place a visit.

Really nice atmosphere, particularly warm and inviting service (and excellent coffee) from Kamran which is why we decided to come back a second time during our short trip. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cafe with Bohemian design. Kind and respectful staff. Serves food after 6 pm.

A very beautiful and peaceful place to relax and spend time with your friends, and family, or even alone! Friendly helping staff and tasty food and beverages. I have tried breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner and I can say I lived them all. The design of the food is great and I love it when the chef and barista put time into decorating the food and beverage 🍻 I highly recommend this place. You can go and enjoy your time when you travel to Yazd. Or even if you are a resident of Yazd.

A beautiful cafe with kind staff. The quality of the food here is top notch, and the prices although leaning toward the expensive side, are fair. I liked this place and will return to this place every chance I get.

This is where those types hang where they feel they’re too cool for school. The patrons are very much self-possesses and judgey, but our server was both warm and professional. My experience of Western food in Iran hasn’t always been great so I tempered my expectations. My mini cheeseburger was tasty and satisfies when you want a break from Persian cuisine. The pasta will do in a pinch. The mocktails are tasty but very sweet so you won’t need any dessert. Perplexed why this cafe is named after a Romanian dessert which does not feature in its menu. Come with your smartphone powered up as you’ll need it peruse the menu.

The food was ok but not perfect, the design of the cafe was nice

I prefer pizzas here😍

I came here 10 years ago with my family on a road trip and we still talk about how good the food and service was. I currently live in the United States and continue to tell people of the friendly service and amazing food and especially pizza dough! Hope all is well!

I order steak but it is normal meat not steak. They dont know different between well done medium and rare

The food is exceptionally delicious. Drinks and sides are limited and not much of my taste. The place is a little bit small and crowded. I prefer this restaurant when I eat alone, but when I'm with friends, there are better places to go.

Good food (as a matter of fact the best among other fast food restaurants in Yazd as far as I tried) but not very friendly. Price is not that expensive and compared to it's quality I'd say resealable prices.

Delicious foods. You don't feel heavy after eating your food. I ordered pepperoni, Thai Fries and Burger. Try it!

I really enjoyed and recommend special pizza

Negin Restaurant, located in Yazd, offers a delightful taste of traditional Iranian cuisine with a focus on flavor, comfort, and cultural atmosphere. If you're visiting Yazd and looking to enjoy authentic local dishes, Negin is a solid choice that blends quality food with a welcoming environment. The highlight of Negin Restaurant is undoubtedly its food. Every dish is full of rich, well-balanced flavors that reflect the culinary traditions of the region. From hearty stews and saffron-infused rice to delicious kebabs and fresh herbs, the meals here are prepared with care and authenticity. Whether you're a fan of traditional Persian dishes or new to Iranian cuisine, you'll likely find something that suits your taste. The ambiance is relatively pleasant, combining casual comfort with touches of traditional décor. It may not be luxurious, but the space is clean, calm, and fitting for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The service is decent—while not extraordinary, the waitstaff are generally polite and attentive. Orders are taken in a timely manner, and the food is served warm and fresh. You may not receive top-tier fine-dining service, but for a mid-range restaurant in Yazd, it meets expectations. Overall, Negin Restaurant is a great spot for a satisfying and flavorful meal, offering good value and a chance to enjoy Persian hospitality and dishes. It’s especially recommended for travelers who want a comfortable and genuine culinary experience without overly touristy settings.

You'll meet polite waiters and have some delicious dishes. Highly recommended to taste the Ghafghazi kebab.

One of the best Iranian food restaurants in Yazd, the place is alright. The food is great. It has self service salad and soup and literally the best sauce you can imagine.

As a local, this is one of the best restaurants of this city. The food and service, both are good.

Delicious food here and food service!

Best food specially test the cow Neck and Rice... Its traditional iranian food...

Best food and service. The most hospitable personnel

The kebab was great, but after I finished, I found myself surrounded by a bunch of sand people making sand people noises and chanting "Death to America!" Really killed the mood!

The quality of drinks were good. The night that I went there was a live singing performance that I didn't enjoy very much. It was too loud and I wanted a quiet place to talk. I couldn't hear the person that I was talking to and it was really frustrating. I'd rate it 2 stars if it wasn't for the good drinks.

+ Food is all freshly made and very delicious + Service is professional and friendly + Nice design and interior - Many Birthday celebrations so same birthday song on repeat (can be annoying)

One of the best restaurants in Yazd with very polite and professional staff. This is a cafe and a great restaurant but there is no traditional food there.

Delicious food

there is nowhere better than here to have fun and a great meal

Not that perfect but nice

The House of Lari is considered among the historical monuments and places of interest in Yazd, which welcomes many tourists from all over Iran and the world every year. Lariha house includes 6 houses with the special architecture of desert houses, which is located in Fahadan neighborhood and gives you the opportunity to explore the old streets of the city. This mansion dates back to the Qajar period

Better to go there at day time. Make sure to have couple of hours to walk around the neighbors. Few more historical attractions you will find. One next to another 💫

We went quite late but it was a beautiful house with an amazing views and balcony. I stood under the ‘Bad Gir’ and definitely felt the incredible difference it makes in keeping the house cool.

If you have seen any of the traditional houses in Kashan, this one is not worth visiting. It’s much smaller and less impressive. To make it worse, the crowds of people visiting detract from the experience even more.

The mansion is magnificent and beautiful, especially the room whose walls and ceiling are painted.

The 150-year-old Lari House, built in 19th century by Hadji Mohammad Ibrahim Lari, is one of the best-preserved Qajar-era houses in Yazd. The family used this building as a house for Dervishes of the Ne’mat-o-Allahi order in the past. The badgirs, traditional doors, stained-glass windows, elegant archways and alcoves mark it out as one of the city’s grandest homes. The merchant family who built it have long gone, and it is now home to architecture students and cultural heritage officers. It has a charming atmosphere with a large pool in the central courtyard over which sits a huge, gently disintegrating wooden takht (Throne).

To be honest it’s not amazing like other houses but not bad to visit it. Don’t visit at night because is no body there to explain about the house and most of the lights were off.

I've been there for eating breakfast and it was really cozy and quiet. The breakfast was good in taste and they let me sit there for hours. You can see traditional part of Yazd city above the roof and Badgir structures are fantastic. You can also sit and watch sunset here. Staff were polite and professional and there were good at services. I hadn't used the rooms and here as a hostel.

if you're looking for unique and spectacular view of the city of Yazd , the rooftop of this place will be exactly what you're searching for . the silence and beauty of Yazd will immerse you in profound tranquility . this place will also be an extraordinary location for photographing the city of Yazd .

Great place! Located nearly in the middle of the historical district of Yazd, it has great access and vicinity to most of the landmarks. I stayed 2 nights and the owners were really kind and caring. The building is old and lovely. The rooftop cafe has one of the best views of the neighborhood with good service.

Tip top👌

One of the best location in Yazd to have a tea or coffee and take pictures from sunset!

the best faloodeh and service.

Cosy ambiance Great Coffee Highly recommend to test Yazd Coffee

Historical Complex of Yazd – A Living Heritage in the Desert. The Historical Complex of Yazd, located in central Iran, is one of the most remarkable examples of desert urban architecture. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2017, the old city represents a living, breathing record of Persian culture, adapted to harsh environmental conditions. Narrow alleys, earthen buildings, and interconnected neighborhoods form a unique, cohesive fabric. Yazd’s architecture is shaped by its desert climate. The use of adobe bricks, thick walls, and badgirs (windcatchers) helps cool homes without modern systems. The city’s qanat system, an underground water channel network, supports life and irrigation in the dry terrain. These innovations show how architecture and sustainability were intertwined centuries ago. Religious diversity adds to the city’s identity. Yazd has long been a center of Zoroastrianism, with sacred fire temples and Towers of Silence, alongside beautiful Islamic mosques, shrines, and madrasas. The city reflects peaceful coexistence between communities through the ages. Today, the historical complex is not a museum but a living city, where people continue to inhabit the old quarters. Preservation efforts aim to maintain its authenticity, while tourism introduces the world to Yazd’s timeless charm and wisdom in adapting tradition to environment. It's a true jewel of Iranian heritage.

The historical part of Yazd city has a complex and defensive structure. Nested and sometimes roofed alleys with houses in unexpected places and thatched walls. A big piece of history that stands out in the middle of the desert. If you visit this place, be sure to save your original location in your phone before getting lost in its streets. Because it is almost impossible to get from the previous point without the help of a guide or a map! Because of this, you may lose your parking place.

Historical ncontext of yazd is wonderfull. You will be travelled to ancient iran. Thats beautifull

A great sample of Iranian civilization in the field of problem solving and aesthetics simultaneously.

It’s amazing

It was beautifully reconstructed and we enjoyed the facility.

Historical context of Yazd Good place visit and walking

The Old Town of Yazd is an absolute must-see! Its clay alleys form a magical maze, perfect for evening strolls. Especially at dusk, the atmosphere is unforgettable – warm lights, peaceful streets, and a sense of timelessness. I truly felt like I had stepped back in time. Yazd is simply unforgettable!

Old city of Yazd is the first and largest adobe city in the world. Blue sky on thick brick walls, “Sabat” and sunshades, Beautiful windbreakers “Baadgir”, the aqueducts and pomegranate Trees, can be found only in the “Fahadan” neighborhood of Yazd.There are many historical buildings in this area, these places are accessible by foot.

Old City of Yazd – A Desert City of Timeless Innovation. The Old City of Yazd, located in central Iran, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and a remarkable example of desert urban planning. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017, Yazd showcases centuries of adaptation to harsh climatic conditions through its ingenious architecture and infrastructure. Built primarily from sun-dried mudbrick, the city’s narrow alleys, domed roofs, and thick walls help regulate temperature and protect against desert winds. One of Yazd’s most iconic features is its badgirs (windcatchers), traditional ventilation towers that cool indoor spaces without electricity. The ancient qanat system—underground channels that transport water from distant mountains—ensured sustainable irrigation and drinking water for generations. Yazd’s skyline is dotted with adobe buildings, minarets, and Zoroastrian fire temples, reflecting its cultural and religious diversity. The city was a historic center for Zoroastrianism and remains home to one of the oldest Zoroastrian communities in the world. Still inhabited and thriving, the Old City preserves a sense of continuity and identity. Its blend of practicality, aesthetics, and spiritual heritage offers a living testimony to Iranian ingenuity—making Yazd a truly unique and enduring symbol of life in the desert.

The old city is exactly old but the people are new, it looks like old city and it is really old, government paying people to not distroy the old structure of the city, and let it be this way, some of the streets are full of lights some are empty, usually people change their houses to restaurants, cafés, or night stay for foreigners or those who come from other cities there are shops too to buy some antique bracelets... Yazdi Qahwa don't forget it. It's sweet.

Be able to stay here for a while and walk a lot, would be nice. Such a magical place.

very nice & beautiful. feels like you are walking in the history!

Yazd Old Texture Tourist Area With beautiful old brick houses, old school and renovated in the heart of Yazd New Town. It is very beautiful and I advise you to visit it at least once. Tourist amenities including tour guides are also provided....

(Translated by Google) Inside the building of Imamzadeh, there is a grave, and an inscription made of marble tiles from the Timurid period is installed on it, which introduces the owner of the tomb of Prince Fazel. The tile inscription belongs to the Timurid period and is one of the works of Qutbuddin Khizr Shah, which is also mentioned by the author of Jame Mofidi. Undoubtedly, contrary to the local reputation of this imamzadeh, which is known as Shah Fazel, he cannot be the son of the seventh Imam, since Yazd is the seat of Sadat Pahrehi and a large number of them lived in this city, and now they are the owners of the dome and bargah. The certainty of this mausoleum is one of the Sadats of Pahrehi, therefore it is likely that he is Seyyed Fazl bin Ali bin Muhammad bin Ali bin Ahmed bin Muhammad bin Isa bin Ali bin Hasan bin Muhammad bin Ali al-Arizi bin Imam Jafar Sadiq (peace be upon him) who according to Umaydi Nasabah had a son named Ashraf, his brother Hilal bin Ali is the same great person whose tomb is mistakenly known as Hilal bin Ali bin Abi Talib, the son of Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) in Aran and Bidgul. Zoroastrians also honor this tomb and consider it the burial place of one of the Sasanian princes. According to another story, this tomb is the burial place of one of the victims of the Fahraj incident in 747 AH. Astan is located in Imam Khomeini street of Yazd city with the glory of Imamzadeh Prince Fazil (peace be upon him). The building of the mausoleum lacks a special effect in terms of architecture due to the low-rise brick dome and the simple external building. The inside body of the mausoleum is decorated with a geometric design consisting of six-pointed stars and hexagons and a border of marbled tiles.

(Original) درون بنا قبرى است و برآن کتيبه‌اى ازکاشى معرق دورهٔ تيمورى نصب شده است که صاحب مزار را معرفى مى‌کند براساس نوشتهٔ‌ اين کتيبه صاحب مدفن فضل بن امام موسى کاظم (علیه السلام) متوفى درسال ۲۰۲ هجرى قمرى است ، نصب اين کتيبه کاشى متعلق به دورهٔ‌ تيمورى و ازآثارقطب‌ الدين خضرشاه است که مؤلف«جامع مفيدي» نيزبه آن اشاره کرده است. بدون شک برخلاف شهرت محلی این امامزاده که به شاه فاضل شهرت دارد نمی تواندازآن فرزندامام هفتم باشد، ازآنجایی که یزد مقرسادات عریضی است وجمع کثیری ازآنان دراین شهرسکونت داشته واینک صاحب گنبد وبارگاهند لذابه ظن غالب وقریب به یقین این مزار ازآن یکی ازسادات عریضی است از این رو احتمال می رودکه وی سیدفضل بن علی بن محمد بن علی بن احمد بن محمد بن عیسی بن علی بن حسن بن محمد بن علی العریضی بن امام جعفرصادق (علیه السلام) باشدکه به گفته ی عمیدی نسابه فرزندی به نام اشرف داشته است برادر وی هلال بن علی همان شخصیت بزرگواری است که اینک آرامگاه او به اشتباه درآران وبیدگل به هلال بن علی بن ابی طالب فرزند امیرالمؤمنین (علیه السلام) مشهوراست. زرتشتيان نيزاين مزار راگرامى مى‌دارند وآنرا مدفن يکى از شاهزادگان ساسانى مى‌دانند. به روايتى ديگراين بقعه مدفن يکى ازمضروبين واقعهٔ فهرج درسال ۷۴۷ هـ.ق است

Cambrian museum is the first specialized paleontology museum in Iran which showcases around 400 examples of fossil remains discovered in the last 30 years around the Iranian plateau particularly those found in the Yazd province. The museum exhibits remains of invertebrates such as echinoderms, trilobites, ammonites, amphipods, and neutrophils.

small museum, showing unique pieces of living creatures from million years ago. I totally recommend it. It will open a new unknown history for you. it takes about 15-30 min to visit.

Not to be missed. I found an highly impressive collection of fossils, most of them really astonishing. The curator, that found them in the surrounds of Yazd region, is a polite and cultivated person, you can feel how strong is his passion. The museum is worth a visit for everybody, not only specialist. Highly recommended .

After the Darabad Wildlife-Museum of Tehran, the Cambrian Museum of Yazd was the second natural history museum I’ve visited my entire life and I have to say although the whole site is not as big as the one in Tehran but I do really think it is much much worthier. I mean more than 400 examples of fossils which dates back to 200-500 million years ago! Isn’t that worth visiting?? Also I had a great time with its owner Mr. Pezhmanpoor which he helped me a lot with the history of the discovered fossils. If you are a lover of natural history do not miss this one! These museums are rare all over the world!

One of the greatest places to visit in Yazd! we found it accidently but just opened our eyes on how little humans are! I seriuosly sugest visiting this museum! The curater is a young man who teaches you all you need to know about history of fossils.

A small but amazing museum at the end of a dead-end ,which can change your mind about geography forever and make you say wow..!

I really wanted to visit this place, since it's my core interest, but... it was closed though I went there within the opening hours

No doubt one of the best restaurants in yazd . Pretty good environment and polite staff. We ordered tahchin and torsh chicken both were so delicious with good design . Live music was great too but unfortunately restaurant was so crowded. Everything is so good except the prices were so expensive.

The food was delicious. The meat was a bit tough, but the rice was excellent. The atmosphere was very lovely

Moderately good food. a little expensive. some weird decoration for a restaurant. friendly and polite staff. they a have a nice tradition to wash quests hands with golab and water before serving the food

A very beautiful restaurant with eye-catching architecture and excellent and delicious food. In terms of service, the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Foods are also acceptable in terms of volume and delicious in terms of taste.

One of the most delicious Iranian restaurant. We’ve ordered Shashlik and Morgh Pich, it was really good. Highly recommended👌

I tried the restaurant three times during my stay in Yazd. The cool thing was its location in the Safaieh hotel site 😍. The atmosphere was amazing with great services.

A special and pleasant environment with delicious and excellent food. Also wonderful staff.

We ordered Joojeh Kabab (with and without bone) and it was so delicious, a bit expensive though. The food was still warm when it was devilered to us on a motorcycle.

An enjoyable place to dine. The food quality was good and the service was acceptable. The menu was fine and it included a wide range of different Iranian foods. Unfortunately, the prices were just a bit high.

Well there's no outside place or any windows so it's not the best place to sit in, in time of corona so it's more of take out place. The menu is very interesting. Like you can choose between 3 different type of rice! Fresh ingredient and big amount of food comes with a high price but it's worth (The photo is food for 2 😁)

Ordinary restaurant, average quality. But in general its good to try.

One of the best restaurants of the city. The service is very quick and good and the food has excellent quality. The negative point is that it is always crowded!

Delicious Iranian food , prices are higher than other restaurants but I ensure that you will be satisfied with taste and quality

I've tried Chelo kabab which was the best.Fast services,clean enviroment but too much crowded for holidays.

Very crowded as you naturally expect the most famous confectionary in yazd to be..the staff are very hardworking and quick on their feet to prepare your order but do expect some wait time. There are a few chairs inside to sit while you wait. Their sweets are delicious but perhaps not as much as they're famous.

One of the oldest, most famous and best-selling sweets in Yazd and Iran, not only many Iranians have tasted the pleasant and attractive taste of the sweets of this sweet shop, but with the export of the products of this famous sweet shop, many people living in the countries The rest of the world has also tasted and enjoyed its attractive taste.

Very delicious and fresh sweets with lots of varity . This confectionary is the most famous and has best quality . Try just HajKhalifeh Rahbar

Always crowded but you can find fresh Yazdi Sweets in there. It is not as good as it is famous for. I heard they were the best but it seems that they are now into business. They also have some Special dishes that you need to try.

The best souvenirs of Yazd, baklava, qatab, pashmak and...

They are very famous but the order process is very complicated and not suitable for when a few customers are in shop.

Not worth the wait, had lots and lots of better baklavas
