Iran Multi-Day Tours Including Tabriz
Starting your discovery of Iran from Tabriz or like to visit it on your trip itinerary? These multi-day Iran tours will give you a tour of Tabriz and its attractive hits.
Day Tours From Tabriz
Discover the historical and Armenian treasures, natural beauties, and unique wonders outside Tabriz’s borders: Kandovan Village, the Armenian Monastic Ensembles of Iran, the Domes of Maragheh, and Aras River.
The Best Season for Tabriz Tours
Located in the cold northwest of Iran, Tebriz is cold and snowy in winter. Falls can also be cold for you. So, summers and falls are definitely the best time to visit Tabriz.
Places To Visit in Tabriz
Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque of Tabriz is a masterpiece of Iranian-Islamic architecture you shouldn’t miss on your Tabriz Tour. Stunning tilework, 600 years of history, a spiritual aura, and a pleasant azure color that reflects the sky are part of the reason that this unique gem captivates you.
Grand Bazaar of Tabriz
The world city of carpets, Tabriz, houses one of the oldest bazars in the Middle East: the Grand Bazaar of Tabriz (UNESCO). This lively 13th-century marketplace is a masterpiece of Persian architecture featuring a series of covered, interconnected brick structures, several mosques, schools, and baths.
Kandovan Village
Kandovan, a lovely rocky village over eight hundred years old, is one of the world’s three astonishing rocky villages. The unique architecture of the village makes this place a rare destination on your Day Tour from Tabriz. What’s surprising is that the manmade cliff dwellings of Kandovan are still inhabited!
Saint Stepanos Monastery (UNESCO)
This Armenian piece of art that you can see on your Tabriz Tour lies to the northwest of Jolfa, a historic town near Tabriz. As part of the Armenian Monastic Ensembles of Iran (UNESCO world heritage), Saint Stepanos Monastry was originally built in the 9th century and renovated around the 17th century.
Gonbad-e Sorkh
The 12th century Gonbad-e Sorkh is probably the most interesting of Maragheh’s well-known domes that should be on your Tabriz Tour visit list. With special windows on the walls and an upper window hole that allows the sunlight to shine directly onto the inner doorway in Spring Equinox, the dome is believed to be a calendar.
Gonbad-e Kabood
Another of Maragheh’s historical domes, Gonbad-e Kabud, is a top destination on a Tabriz tour. This relic is thought to be the tomb of the mother of the Mongol ruler, Hulagu Khan (one of Genghis Khan’s four sons). The decagonal building still showcases geometrical and calligraphic decorations on its walls.
Aras River
Azerbaijan’s famous Aras river is located in Jolfa, an Armenian region you can visit on your Tabriz Tour. Flowing from eastern Turkey, Aras River passes Armenia and Azerbaijan until it enters Iran’s Azerbaijan, giving beauty to its surrounding. Aras is a popular hiking, boat riding, walking and camping destination.
Ghaffarieh Dome
Lying beside Safi Chay River, Ghaffarieh Dome is a memento of 14th century Iran. The square-shaped brick building manifests geometrical shapes, nice inscriptions, blue tiles and charming arches and columns on the walls. The small geometric knots and the glazed tiles are the prominent features of the architecture of the era.
