The Desert Town
Our first stop for the day is the Jameirah Mosque in Yazd. As with Shiraz, this mosque used to be their gathering place for prayers and ceremonies. However, the difference in terms of structure is the height of the minarets of these mosques. Our guide ...

... only go with them for a little hour. I got a few more rides through the deserted and sometimes snowy landscape in Central Iran. I was cold, but I think, still better than the killing high temperatures in the summer. An the last truck that to me from the ...
Mesto Yazd
Poèasi sva se iz Isfahana odpravila v malo pusèavsko mestece Yazd. Po obièajnem motoviljenju s taksisti in iskanju hotela sva pristala v predelani stari domaèiji, ki je vsekakor najlepsi hotel v katerem sem v zivljenju bival. Vendar so imeli na voljo ...
Yazd - Such a Lovely Place, Such a Lovely Place...
... no evil and Speak no evil. I guess the ornament and its inscriptions was a variant of the Zoroastrian values. Yazd is home to Iran's largest population of Zoroastrians and is a major pilgrimage site. It is estimated that around 5,500 worshippers live ...
I can't come up with a clever title for this entry
Warning: Boring Entry. Dont waste your time. I left the hotel at 7 am so I could catch my 730 bus to Yazd. In Iran, when you reserve or buy a bus ticket, it is obvious that the bus companies consider your gender before issuing a seat number. Each ...
The Ancient Wonders
... "Prince of Persia", certainly felt as if I can jump from roof top to roof top. As wind towers are a characteristics of bulidings in Yazd, from the roof I can see loads of wind towers on each of the buildings. I can almost see the whole of old Yazd from ...
Yazd - the old and the new

Yazd - half a day's visit - more to come

... the record old Cyrus the Modest (I'm joking. He was Great) was the first Shah, and considered the Father of Iran. Thankfully it was onto to Yazd and to the Caravan Hotel (actually a motel) a mere 20-30 minutes in a crazy taxi ride from the ...
unine päev
Magame kaua. Selgub, et hommikusööki antakse vähemalt poole kümneni või kauem. See on hea uudis. Kolame mööda vanalinna, teeme pilte pahaaimamatutest inimestest. Mõned neist tahavad meid kangesti kuhugi juhatada, ainus mure on see, et me ei ...
mud city in the desert
10 Yazd What a lovely little city. It's a maze of winding lanes where you are guaranteed to get lost but it's small enough not to be an issue. The old town of mud building and numerous Zoroastrian temples and Islamic mosques made for a very enjoyable ...

Greetings from the Middle Ages
... when one young man approached Michael and said "Please do not judge us by our government. We hate our government." Being a tourist in Iran is like being famous. As I mentioned, they get fewer than 1 million tourists a year, and of those, a very ...
Finally, some other travellers! And a great hotel
... and hit the water at the bottom, a kind of old age air conditioning! From there we wandered the charming streets of Yazd around the city (via the Jame Mosque and other places) to home sweet home. The highlight of my time in Yazd however ...
How many mud houses can one man take?
... in Iran are really nice and usually so amazed a foreigner is in their taxi to try anything shifty. The great thing about Yazd was its old city - it is made completely of mud and was so amazing to walk around especially at night. Again there were ...
