5 Thirty five years after it dropped off the tourist map, Iran is set to return to the top of must visit places. Its attractions have never been in doubt- from ski resorts to beaches, stunning Islamic architecture, ancient archaeological sites and superb food. According to the Telegraph UK, the tourism in Iran has risen subsequently. Tour operators have seen a significant rise in bookings for holidays as improves relations with the west following the election of Hassan Rouhani as president. Rouhani s administration has announced plans to ease visa requirements to increase visitors and increase annual income from tourism.. Iran ranks seventh among countries in the world with the most archeological architectural ruins and attractions from antiquity as recognized by UNESCO. Top Places to Visit in Iran: Persepolis (Takht-e-Jamshid)-The well-preserved ruins of the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire that remained buried in sand till 1930s when they were discovered and excavated by French archaeologists. shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad- Iran was not always a Shi i-majority country. That distinction came after the establishment of the Safavid Dynasty. There are a few varieties of Shi i Islam, but the most prominent is the Twelver branch, named after the twelve descendants of the Prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatima and her husband Imam Ali. It is the eighth of these Imams, Imam Reza, who was martyred and buried in the city of Mashhad, whose very name means place of martyrdom. A visit to this shrine-city is essential for understand the centrality of pilgrimage to Iranian religiosity. Milad Tower, Tehran- A monument to Iranian modernism, designed to commemorate the former Shah of Iran, today renamed as Monument of Freedom. This has been the site of many of the largest political rallies in Iran. Shaking Minaret & abandoned village of Khanrnaq:-The minaret in the abandoned village of Khanrnaq (near Yazd) gained its name because ofthe mud bricks and wooden elements used in the construction process make it possible to actually shake it even nowadays! Chak-Chak: the holy place of Zoroastrians-Chak-Chak is the place where the Zoroastrian religion was born. It was the main religion of Persia until the Arab invasion. Nowadays it has only a few thousand followers in Iran and the largest community of Zoroastrians currently live in India (known as Parsis). Naqsh-e Jahan:-This was once one of the largest squares in the world, and today it contains the Mosque of the Shah/Imam, the Mosque of ShaykhLotfollah, and the Palace 5
6 of Ali Qapu. It is also the perfect place to begin your exploration of traditional Persian crafts, and wander in the bazaar. Bazaar of Tabriz- The largest covered bazaar in the world, divided into parts where you can buy famous Persian carpets, jewelry, spices and much more. The tomb of Hafez in Shiraz-There is no shortage of great poets in the Persian pantheon, and yet Hafez stands alone as master of the ghazal (the short love lyric). Ferdowsi is the master of the nationalistic epic, Sa di the master of prose, but if one s taste is that of the mystical/sensual love lyric, Hafez is your poet.. Naqsh-e-Jahan square in Esfashan- Favourite of ours and many Iranian families who come there to spend their weekends gossiping, sipping tea and playing with their children in front of the impressive Shah Mosque, Ali Qapu Palace and smaller but splendid Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque. Ferdowsi s tomb:-ferdowsi is the national (and nationalistic) poet of Iran, whose Shahnameh ( The Book of Kings ) is widely considered the mythic poem at the heart of Iranian consciousness. Much more than a book about kings, it is really an essential read for understanding the Iranian obsessions with heroes and chivalry, and the cosmic struggle between good and evil. Under the Shah and his father (Reza Shah), Ferdowsi was patronized to embody the resurrection of a new Iranian nationalistic consciousness that tapped back into pre-islamic glory.
