Mashhad Tours

Mashhad is the second-largest city in Iran and the most important from a religious point of view. Its main attraction is the beautiful Haram (sanctuary complex), vast and continuously expanding, which commemorates the martyrium of Reza, the eighth Imam. Moreover, with a Shorter day excursion, you can reach the former village of Torqabeh. Torghabeh remains rustic with its picturesque tea houses and restaurants. Still, to get a little further away from the concrete jungle, it is worth going to Kang “Masuleh of Khorasan,” a terraced village and an inviting destination, especially for hikers. With a more extended day excursion, you can reach the unfinished palace (actually a funeral tower) of the Nadir Shah in Kalat, along a road that crosses a desolate and fascinating mountainous landscape. Another lovely day trip is the one that, after a stretch of highway, leads to the solitary 13th century astronomical tower near Radkan, a village where one of the best Eco lodge (Kohan-dezh ecolodge) in the whole region locates.

Mashhad is the best destination for Saffron lovers, spiritual tourism, and hikers.

In addition to the city sightseeing, day trips from Mashhad are also among the most requested tours. The variety of engaging activities for tourists surrounding Mashhad are incredible; activities such as Saffron tour (Picking up saffron and visit Saffron farm), visiting nomads, and Pistachio tour. Those who love Iranian medieval poetry may want to visit the tombs of these two most significant poets, namely the mausoleum of Omar Khayyam in Neishabur and that of Ferdowsi in Tus. A park surrounds each shrine.
