Depart from the city in the early morning, heading towards Meybod, a historic town known for its well-preserved architectural heritage.
Start by exploring the Narin Castle, a mud-brick fortress dating back to pre-Islamic times. Wander through its ancient rooms and passages, offering a glimpse into the strategic importance of this structure. Continue to the Abbasi Caravanserai, a stunning example of desert caravanserais that once provided shelter for traders. Before leaving Meybod, visit the Pigeon Tower and Ice House, both ingenious solutions to the challenges of desert living.
Continue to the semi-abandoned village of Kharanaq, where narrow alleys and mud-brick structures create an otherworldly atmosphere. Walk through this ancient labyrinth and visit the old mosque, known for its shaking minaret—a unique architectural feature that adds to the mystique of the village.
Ascend to the Zoroastrian pilgrimage site of Chak Chak. Perched high in the mountains, this sacred site is dedicated to the goddess Anahita. The temple’s serene atmosphere, set against the dramatic backdrop of rocky cliffs, offers a moment of reflection and connection with the spiritual heritage of the region.
