Then we go to visit a World Heritage Site, the Golestan Palace (Ethnographical Museum, Shams-ol- Emareh edifice, Marmare Throne and Mirror Hall) that was built during the Qajar Dynasty that rose to power in the late 1700 s, this fabulous walled complex is centered on a landscaped garden with tranquil pools. We will then go back to the hotel to get prepared to start the train tour. At Evening we go to Tehran Nature Bridge where young couples spend time together. Dinner is in a local restaurant in the center of Tehran, which offers a chance to experience vibrant Iranian life in the capital of Iran. You re likely to meet smiling young Iranians who are delighted to engage with you. - Overnight at 5* Hotel, Tehran DAY 3 TEHRAN KASHAN ISFAHAN Today we arrive in Kashan, a town originally famous for its textiles and ceramic production, but now better known for the Fin Garden and extensive bazaar and hamams. The Fin Garden which is one of the nine Persian Gardens added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site is our first stop, a relaxing and visually impressive Persian garden with water channels all passing through a central pavilion. From here we will visit the Khan-e Boru- jerdi and Khan-e Tabatabei, These 19th-century houses were funded by wealthy merchants, and feature lovely courtyards, lush gardens and fine intricate relief design carved into stone and stucco work. From here we will visit the bazaar area, a widespread complex filled with hamams and mosques; one Hamam has been converted to a traditional tea house where we will stop for those who need a break from shopping. Then we will be at the train station at 5:30 PM and move to Isfahan. - Overnight at 5* Hotel, Isfahan 22

23 Chehel Sotoun, Isfahan DAY 4 GLORIOUS, HISTORIC ISFAHAN As the 17th-century capital of the Safavid Empire, Isfahan was one of the world s greatest cities architecturally striking, wealthy beyond imagine, and politically powerful with Europeans, Ottomans, Indians and Chinese coming to its court the heart of a vast Persian Empire. Indeed, its grandeur inspired the rhyming proverb, Isfahan nesf-jahan (Isfahan is Half the World). Today, we ll join our expert guide to begin our exploration of the city, starting with some of the centuries old, still elegant bridges that span the Zayandeh River. The 4th-century Shahrestan Bridge, for example, evokes the greatest aqueducts of ancient Rome and is the oldest bridge in Iran. Other famous bridges on the Zayandeh River are Sio-ce-pol and Khaju. There are gates below the bridge to let the water run- off from Zayandeh River in the spring, and there are beautiful stone-brick archways above each gate. These archways provide a great acoustic place for every man who wants to sing. We can always find a man or a group of men singing under the bridge. The songs are usually about betrayal or unrequited love. Continue our exploration in Isfahan at another UN- ESCO World Heritage Site. Simple at first glance but wondrous in its rich detail and bold design, the Masjed-e Jamé is another masterpiece of Iranian architecture, covering nearly 5 acres in the heart of this historic city. This is one of the oldest congregational mosques in the country, and its construction and embellishment over the past twelve centuries illustrate a number of important periods in Islamic architecture. Next up is Chehel Sotun. Set in a landscaped and forested park in front of a tranquil reflecting pool, this graceful pavilion was built by Shah Abbas I for entertainment and court receptions. Entering through a portico with twenty slender wooden columns, we ll discover soaring halls embellished with frescoes, paintings and mosaics; the Hall of Mirrors is especially breathtaking! This afternoon, our exploration continues in Imam Square (A world heritage site). This 17th-century site is one of the largest public spaces in the world. Here in the square, we ll visit the 17th-century Shah Mosque, revered as a masterpiece of Islamic architecture and easily recognized by its magnificent tile-work and soaring cupola and minarets. In the Ali Qapu Palace, we ll marvel at its beautiful music rooms and the balconies where Safavid kings would sit to enjoy the polo matches unfolding in the square below. We ll end our day exploring the Isfahan Bazaar that surrounds Imam Square. With hundreds of local vendors that specialize in traditional arts and crafts, it s a wonderful place to shop for pottery, enamel, jewelry and delicately inlaid board games. - Overnight at 5* Hotel, Isfahan 23

24 Aeg-e Bam, Kerman DAY 5 ISFAHAN BAM After an early breakfast. We have a free day to explore Isfahan, so take time to wander along the cities many tree-lined boulevards and spacious gardens. Then we will be in the train station at 6:00 PM and move to Bam. - Overnight on board the train DAY 6 BAM KERMAN The modern Iranian city of Bam surrounds the Bam citadel. The ancient citadel of Arg-é Bam (A world heritage site) has a history dating back around 2,000 years ago, to the Parthian Empire, but most buildings were built during the Safavid dynasty. Today excursion to the Arg-e Bam, with all the architectural features of a desert citadel, now on the map as a result of the tragic earthquake in Bam which destroyed the town and its magnificent citadel (still under reconstruction and restorations), then we will move to Mahan to visit the blue-tiled Mausoleum of Shah Nematollah-e-Vali, the great 14th century Sufi Leader, and the Shahzadeh Garden (late 19th century Qajar-period garden/house) watch is listed as a World Heritage site. In the afternoon we will move to Kerman and after a short rest in the hotel we will be free to walk around the city. - Overnight at 5* Hotel, Kerman DAY 7 KERMAN SHAHDAD YAZD Kerman is one of the oldest cities of Iran. The city is home to many historic mosques and Zoroastrian fire temples. In the morning, after breakfast we will visit the Ganjali Bathhouse Museum Located in a Safavidera complex, complete with school, caravanserai, and a mosque, the Bathhouse Museum is worth a visit. Now converted into an anthropology museum, its interior is meticulously and beautifully decorated, with different rooms for changing and offering different tempera- tures, all with intricate domed ceilings. Then we will drive to Shahdad. It is located at the edge of the vast Lut desert (A world heritage site). The desert offers a scenery of the sandy structures, and we can walk right through them. After that we will back to Kerman and will be at the train station to move to Yazd. - Overnight on board the train 24

25 DAY 8 ANCIENT YAZD Today we start our day in Yazd. Yazd is one of Iran s oldest continuously inhabited towns, its silhouette punctuated by minarets and the ingeniously-designed wind towers that capture desert breezes to cool homes during the hot summer months. Yazd is also the center of Iran s Zoroastrian community, which is where we ll begin the day s sightseeing. At the Tower of Silence, we ll learn about one of the traditions of this ancient pre-islamic religion: Until the mid-1900 s, the dead were transported to this tower where they were left to decompose and be devoured by birds. Zoroastrian tradition considers a deceased body to be unclean and this process of excarnation pre vents contact with either fire or earth both of which are considered to be sacred. At the still-active Zoroastrian Fire Temple, we ll see a flame that is said to have been burning for the past 1,500 years. It s an important pilgrimage site for the faithful and here our expert guide will offer additional insight into one of the world s oldest monotheistic religions. In Amir Chakhmaq Square, we ll see a very impressive Hussainiya a congregation hall for Shia commemo- ration ceremonies. With three tiers of recessed alcoves, all perfectly proportioned, its façade is one of the city s most photographed landmarks. Then we will visit the Friday Mosque, built in 1324, where we can gaze upon the tallest minarets in the country. - Overnight at 4* Hotel, Yazd DAY 9 YAZD MEYBOD SAADATSHAHR Today we take you to outside of Yazd, which includes the Meybod citadel, ice house and the impressive Kharanaq mud brick village. At first we will visit Meybod the oldest mud brick structure in Iran and explore the Narin Castel. The impressive town of Kharanaq is believed to be 1,000 years old and we can explore the abandoned structures of this hillside settlement, peering into the houses of wealthy merchants and human (bathhouses). Explore the valley and nearby mountains and get great pictures of the aqueducts that formed part of the underground water system. At night we will be at the train station to move to Sadatshahr. - Overnight on board the train DAY 10 SAADATSHAHR PERSEPOLIS SHIRAZ Today we will visit Pasargadae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tomb of Cyrus the Great and former capital of the Achaemenid Empire. We will spend some time exploring the site and though not as striking as Persepolis, there is a great viewpoint where we can look over the site and the surrounding area. Then visit legendary city of Persepolis, former capital of Darius the Great and founded in 512 BC. There was no more impressive construction in the ancient world. Darius built the terrace, the Apadana, the Tachara, the monumental staircases and his son, Xerxes, added the harem and the Hall of 100 Columns. Alexander the Great entered Persepolis in January 330 BC and then committed an uncharacteristic act of wan- ton destruction that still mystifies historians today, burning the mighty city to the ground. Though a shadow of its former self, the soaring pillars, terraces and sculptures of Persepolis still remain, but probably most impressive are the bas reliefs which line the site, telling the story of ancient governors and kings that came to Persepolis to pay tribute to the Persian Emperors. From here we will drive a couple of miles to Naqshe-Rustam, the Necropolis where Darius and his successors are buried. Carved into the side of a cliff, the site is extraordinary in its magnitude and sheer ambition and does not dis- appoint even after the impressive Persepolis. Continue to Shiraz and check in to our hotel. - Overnight at 5* Hotel, Shiraz 25

26 Nasir ol Molk Mosque, Shiraz DAY 11 SHIRAZ TEHRAN After breakfast, will start our full day tour of Shiraz. At first, we will visit Karim Khan Citadel. Built during the Zand Dynasty, we will visit Nasir-al-Mulk Mosque (Pink Mosque) few steps far from Vakil Bazaar. It built by the order from one of the lords of the Qajar Dynasty, Mirza Hasan Ali Nasir-al-Mulk, it took 12 years to complete in Its interior reveals a magnificent masterpiece of design with stunning colors. This is a space where light and worship intertwine. The mosque comes to life with the sunrise and colors dance throughout the day like whirling dervishes. It reflects on the ground, walls, the arches and the towering spires. It even reflects on the visitors as if a colorful ball is hit by the first sun ray and explodes to thousands of butterflies all around. Shiraz is famous for its gardens and we ll visit the Eram Garden with its aromatic myrtles, beautiful flowers, fruit trees, and towering cypress (one of which is said to be 3,000 years old). We will end our day in Shiraz on a tranquil note in the lovely garden tomb of Hafez, one of Persian literature most famous poets. Hafez is one of great poets who impressed everyone with his mastery.. Later we ll be escorted to the train station and will move to Tehran. There will be a special event for guests in the evening. - Overnight on board the train DAY 12 TEHRAN (DEPARTURE) There are no activities planned for the final day and you are able to depart the accommodation at any time to take your flights home. - Overnight at 5* Hotel, Tehran 26
