Yazd is located 270 km southeast of Esfahan and has a history of over 5,000 years, dating back to the time of the Median empire, when it was known as Issatis. The present city name, however, is derived from Yazdegerd I, a Sassanid ruler of Persia.
Because of generations of adaptations to its desert surroundings, Yazd has a unique Persian architecture and is one of the largest cities built almost entirely out of adobe. To deal with the extremely hot summers, many old buildings in Yazd have magnificent wind towers, and large underground areas. This is why the city is nicknamed the "City of Windcatchers“.
We used our time in the city to explore the best things to do in Yazd by focussing on attractions and spots that are interesting for younger travelers paired with important landmarks like the Jameh Mosque. But we also got to try typical dishes from the region and the famous Yazd sweets to show you the whole spectra of Persian cuisine.
This part of the trip was executed within 4 days - following I list all the places I visited & Things to do in Yazd:
- old town
- jameh mosque
- dowlat abad garden
- windtower in the dowlat abad garden
- art house cafe
- fooka restaurant
- cafe iraní
- silk road hotel
- talar restaurant
- amir chakhmaq complex
- dasht-e loot (loot desert)
This video is part of „Inside Iran“ - a documentary series introducing you to popular and unknown sights / things to do in Iran as well as the Persian cuisine and the super friendly locals we met on our trip from Tehran to Isfahan, Shiraz and Yazd. With this series I want to create a better understanding of the country and it’s people without focussing on politics or religion.

    Pasargad ,and also you missed naghshe rostam . In Naghshe Rostam you can see four tombs and one building from Achaemenid dynasty with a group of ancient Iranian rock reliefs cut into the cliff, from Sassanid dynasty; the last important relief is from Elam dynasty and it dates back to 1000 BC

    Great presentation of Yazd. Thank you. My family are from Yazd. What you didn't mention is that there are also high mountains around Yazd like the famous Shir Kouh, and villages which are located in high altitude and they get a lot of snow in winter. Yazd, unlike its appearance is located in temporal climatic zone with 4 seasons and has cold winters with snow. Google "snow in Yazd" to view the photos. Now you may wonder how people live in rooms with open wind towers in winter when the temperatures are below zero! Well, they don't. All homes in the old city of Yazd have winter side and summer side. The wind towers are located on the summer side of the buildings.

    Iran🇮🇷 is known as the country of four seasons and it is the fifth country in the world in terms of natural attractions, and it also has an ancient and attractive history, such that it was the first great empire of the world, and for this reason it is among the top ten historical countries in the world. Experience different weathers from cold and snowy weather to mild weather and even the galaxy nights of its deserts. Iran is the best country for traveling and recreation and visiting natural and historical attractions and different cultures as well as delicious foods that are famous in the world. Iran is also the safest country in Central Asia and I have never seen a more beautiful country than Iran.😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
