The Armenian Quarter is simply stunning! The Vank Cathedral surprisingly has so many valuable artifacts. By the time we got here I was so tired of staring at art on ceilings I was just too exhausted to take in more incredible history lessions so perhaps keep a day for Armenian Quarter. Visit the Music Museum (trust me its more interesting than it sounds) and then eat, eat ,eat. Walk around and check out the charming restaurants and then perhaps go for dessert elsewhere because there are too many spots to choose from. The Vank Cathedral architecture indicates co-existance thousands of yrs back as u see the Islamic dome and the Christian pointed arch.

First of all, I have to say the best time to go to the Maranjab Desert is Autumn because at night it is too cold. So I and my friends went there in October with the tour. it was a fantastic experience for me. we danced and gathered by the fire and sang. If you're reading this review I suggest you go there ASAP.

This is a beautiful structure built with great challenge. The spiritual atmosphere of the building surrounds you right after entering the structure. the adobe and the tile works are phenomenal considering the century it was built. Right across the gate, there is a terrace that sees the main dome. you see the garden of the structure below you which stresses the size of the whole building. loved it!

Varzaneh is an amazing place to experience the desert. close to Varzaneh desert, you can also see the salt lake. The best time to go to see desert is like an hour before sunset so you can spend adecent time before sunset there and watch the sunset.
8. Bagh-e Fin Garden

Reviewed By RodF428 - Royal Wootton Bassett, United Kingdom
Designed for Shah Abbas I in the C16th, the gardens have centrally aligned pools with fountains on either side of the pavilion. The first pavilion, the Khooshk-e Safavi, is a 2-storeyed pool house (shotor gelou), and has a central pool from which run 3 channels into the garden. Beyond the Khooshk-e safavi is a second shotor gelou, the Khooshk-e Qajari, which has a stunning ceiling depicting scenes for Persian life, as well as beautiful geometric designs. On a raised step in front of the pavilion is a rectangular pool (hoz-e josh) with 160 holes which were once fountains that could be opened and closed to entertain the Shah and his guests. Sadly, these are blocked and no longer function. Beyond the pavilion is a refreshment area where we watched qanat fish.

The old bazaar of Kashan is an old living thing. It is historical and up-to-date at the same time. There are lots of souvenir shops from Persian carpet shop to hand-made pottery and other shops. You can not only buy souvenirs but also can walk and watch the art of Persian masons. The great old bazaar of Kashan is the best place to capture pictures for your Instagram.
10. Underground City of Nushabad

Rode our cycles from Kashan to here and it was well worth the rough road and the mad traffic. I believe this was rediscovered only 13 years ago by a man digging in his backyard. You start the tour with a look at big underground cistern and then go one floor of the labyrinth. There are 3 levels and you can see in places down to the other levels but visitors dont go down there. It is pretty busy with a lot of people going through but its possible to have a guide speak to you about the underground city in English. May not suit the claustrophobic but otherwise fascinating!
