Mashhad is Iran's second-largest city, celebrated for its profound heritage and modern commercial scene. As a major hub in the northeast, its history as a trade centre along the Silk Road has created a truly unique cultural experience for you to discover.
At the heart of the city stands the magnificent Imam Reza Shrine, a key pilgrimage destination. This stunning complex is an architectural jewel, featuring intricate Persian mirror mosaics, grand courtyards, and the revered Goharshad Mosque, built in the 15th century.
Explore Mashhad’s rich literary history by visiting the Tomb of Ferdowsi in nearby Tus, which commemorates the author of the epic 'Shahnameh'.
