After an intensive security check, I had the chance to enjoy an English-speaking tour guide who explained the jewelry in about 45 minutes. It is a miracle how many remarkable and high-value exhibits can be found and admired, not only the Peacock Throne. Be there on time!

On a weekday it might be easy to get to Kandovan but difficult to get back! First, a shared taxi to Osku (30000rial per person), driver drop you off at the roundabout. Then catch another shared taxi to Kandovan (70000 rial per person) However you might not find enough people to to share the taxi with and might have to go on a private taxi. ***best to find other travelers in Tabriz to go together to make it cheaper and easier ***a taxi driver quoted $20usd(while taxi) for a return trip plus waiting at Kandovan.(might be easier and faster if you have four or people to share) ***if traveling on your own, on your way back, be sure to try hitchhike with a local who's heading back to town otherwise it's impossible to find a taxi that go out on a weekday (we waited for an hour before a local is happy to take us back) Small you can spend 2-3 hours having a look at every cave shop and go to the hill ok the opposite and the free natural mineral water is also very famous there. This place is great for people who don't mind walking very steep steps and slopes!

Prayers for the departed form an important part of Zoroastrian ritual. Soon after the spirit has left, the body is regarded as impure, so it is bathed and dressed in white cotton garments. At the time appointed, the corpse has to be carried into the Tower. The Towers of Silence, being open at the top, give free access to birds of prey. Zoroastrianism regards the Soul as infinitely the more important.
