Mashhad Travel guide

While most Mashhad travel guides recognize this city for housing Imam Reza Shrine, this pilgrimage destination has a lot more up her sleeve. It’s in Mashhad that you get to read Ferdowsi’s (the poet famous for writing the epic that saved Farsi) poetry by his tomb, while also enjoying the fantastic and clement weather of Kang village. Here you can not only find the highest quality saffron in Iran, but you’ll also get to learn about the piety culture of this country and meet its Sunni communities.
