Shiraz, Iran

Photography Tour in Shiraz

The best photos of Shiraz aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Shiraz is the city of poets, gardens, and the spectacular ruins of Persepolis. Walking through its rose-scented gardens, ornate mosques, and the nearby ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire reveals Iran's cultural soul.

Top Photography Tour Spots

•Nasir al-Mulk Mosque (Pink Mosque) — a 19th-century mosque famous for its stained-glass windows that cast kaleidoscopic rainbows across the prayer hall each morning
•Persepolis (day trip) — the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire founded by Darius I in 518 BC, with colossal staircases, reliefs of tribute-bearing nations, and the Gate of All Nations
•Tomb of Hafez — a marble pavilion sheltering the tomb of Persia's most beloved poet, surrounded by gardens where Iranians gather to recite his verses and seek divination

Hidden Photography Tour Gems

•Shah Cheragh Shrine — a dazzling mirror-tiled mausoleum that creates an effect like standing inside a diamond, open to non-Muslim visitors with a guide
•Qavam House (Naranjestan-e Ghavam) — a restored 19th-century merchant house with painted ceilings, mirrored halls, and a Persian garden
