Yazd, a captivating ancient city located in central Iran, is surrounded by a vast desert which truly reflects the architectural aesthetics of Persia. Known for its distinctive Persian architecture, Yazd is a city of high adobe buildings, fascinating wind catchers, atmospheric narrow lanes, and covered bazaars. The historic city is famous for its preserved legacy of trading through silk road with its merchant houses, teahouses and hammams demonstrating the rich history. One of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, it's often referred to as the "City of Windcatchers" for its ubiquitous windcatchers or 'bagdirs', designed to catch even the slightest breeze and divert it indoors to cool the building. Its Zoroastrian heritage, mouth-watering sweets and traditional crafts, particularly silk weaving, add to its allure, making it an unmissable stop on any visit to Iran.
