On your Yazd Tour, you’ll enjoy the spiritual peace, get to know Zoroastrianism, find out about the importance of fire and fire temples in the ancient religion, and see the world’s longest-burning sacred fire at the Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Yazd.

With parts that have been added to it in different periods, this symbol of Yazd and a center for its social events highlights local history, Persian architecture and national culture.
Towers of Silence in Yazd
Like to discover the secrets of a special ancient Persian funeral ceremony and a super special structure? Then you must visit Yazd’s Towers of Silence on your Yazd Tour! These hilltop cemeteries reflect Zoroastrians’ special beliefs and customs concerning the dead.
Jameh Mosque of Yazd

Visiting the 500-year-old Saheb Al-Zaman Zurkhaneh (meaning house of strength) will bring you to special traditional sports rituals and music, as well as the philosophy behind it all.
Zoroastrian Attractions
You can find some of the remains of Iran’s ancient belief, Zoroastrianism, on a day tour from Yazd. Chak Chak Temple is one of the most sacred of them, attracting pilgrims year in and year out. Zoroastrian relics, beliefs, festials and lifestyle are also there to discover in Cham and Taft villages.
Meybod
This lovely town near Yazd inherits beautiful heritages with a long history. Above all, the 5000-year-old Narin Castle, one of the largest mud-brick buildings of ancient times, is a popular destination on tours from Yazd. The gorgeous Pigion Tower of Meybod and its interesting Icehouse are also of the top charms of the town.
Fahraj Desert
Enjoyable walks on sand, sand dunes stretching far away, desert entertainments, and the breathtaking peace and beauty of desert nights expect you on a hotspot on your Yazd Tour: Fahraj Desert. The nearby Fahraj Village will also treat you to architectural charms, picturesque beauty, and local lifestyle.
Kharanaq Village
The adobe village of Kharanaq is one of the most amazing ancient villages of central Iran and one of its largest adobe structures. The now abandoned city on Yazd tour came to existence as far back as 4500 years ago. Kharanaq, meaning ‘the cradle of the sun’ has the warmth of the desert in its heart.
Mehriz
The historical town of Mehriz is a popular destination to the south of Yazd. Pahlavanpour Garden (UNESCO Persian Garden), a charismatic mirage in the middle of the deserts is one of the attractions of Mehriz. The other, Sar Yazd Castle, is a 1400-year-old treasure known as the ‘first safe deposit box of the world’.
Zeinodin Caravanserai
In ancient Persia, travelers stayed in roadside inns known as caravanserais. And these caravanserais were usually square in shape. The 16th century Zeinodin Caravanserai is one of the two rare circular ones in Iran. What’s fascinating is that you could spend at least a unique night there on your Yazd Tour!
