After a very interesting music performance, the tombak player gave us a tour of the museum with much love and enthousiasm for the instruments and traditional music. If you like music even just a little, please do visit this museum when you are in Isfahan, and you will enjoy and discover your own passion for music!

Fotowat Miniaturist

Reviewed By 237alann

We were introduced by our local Iran local guide to visit this shop. We were amazed by their miniature drawings and have decided to order drawings of our 5 cats. We have limited staying time in Ishafan and the owner (and his family) was able to complete all 3 drawings within a day. After we left Isfahan, we decided to order another one for our 5th cat ((who has passed away to Rainbow Bridge already). The owner himself finished it in a day and drove to deliver it on hand while we were on the way to other city. Very good customer service and very beautiful drawings . Will recommend to all tourists to visit, and you won't regret to get at least one back home. Best Regards Steven

Reviewed By DominicDeBurca - Dunmore East, Ireland

Definitely one of the highlights of my entire Iranian itinerary. Just loved this place and the wonderful atmosphere (particularly at night) when a lot of local families come to socialize and have outdoor picnics or take a ride around the square in one of the many horse-drawn carriages.

Reviewed By NiliTravel

Ali Qapo is located on the west side of the Naqshe Jahan square and in front of the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, which was in fact the residence of Shah Abbas Safavid. He invited high-ranking and high- powered guests to this mansion. During the Safavid period, Aali Qapo was known as the "Palace of the State House" and the "Government House of the Holy Role of the World".

This is again another amazing architecture gem in Isfahan , both day and night this place is amazing. At night time you have the singers coming singing under the bridge.the bridge from one side does a barrage for the water and from the other side it is a beautiful sound of water going to the river. So peaceful so beautiful.

This bridge is clearly a great favourite with locals, many of whom congregate there to take photos, meet, have picnics and cool down by wading in the shallow waters.

Royal Mosque (Masjid-i-Shah)

Reviewed By RodF428 - Royal Wootton Bassett, United Kingdom

We had just visited the beautiful Sheikh Lotfullah mosque, but even that pales before the grandeur of the Royal mosque, which was built from 18,000,000 sun-dried bricks, and 475,000 tiles. The entrance portal ensemble has been described as the finest in all of the Islamic world. The arch is an immense structure, some 90 feet high, flanked by minarets some 120 feet tall. This is mostly decorated with true, individually cut mosaic tiles, but is flanked by a mixture of true mosaics, and haft-rangi (7-coloured) tiles. The use of this technique allowed for much faster tile production, and thus completion of the complex. The main courtyard and prayer halls are coloured in tilework lacks the richness of true tilework, and is a paler blue than the gentian blue of Timurid tilework. With so much of the walls coloured in tiles, that probably softens what would otherwise be a riot of bright colours. If you stand in the centre of the sanctuary and clap, the acoustics are extraordinary. One big surprise was the inclusion of animal figures on some sanctuary tiles. I didn't expect that! A truly amazing complex.
