Persian Calligraphy Tour in Shiraz
The elegance that overwhelms you when you find yourself surrounded by the impressive architecture of Iranian mosques and when you look at the gorgeous pages of Persian poetry books is so much indebted to the charming intricacy of their calligraphic designs. Understanding this intricacy is the key to a genuine understanding of Persian culture. Since the time the world of Islam and the rich culture of Persia met each other, the pleasantly proportionate and geometric designs of Persian calligraphy have been giving visual pleasure and soul to carpets, doors, books, earthenware and majestic buildings. Checking out a calligraphy workshop for a few hours to discover the love, skill, and spiritual devotion that has been giving a divine spirit to Persian calligraphic artworks will be one of the sweetest experiences in Iran.

Also, an inscription of your own name, written by yourself, will be a lovely souvenir to take home.
