Eram garden in Shiraz is one of the nine UNESCO inscribed cultural heritage sites as Iran's Persian Gardens and also kind a botanical garden. The best time for visiting this amazing garden is March and April which the air is permeated with the scent of orange blossoms and all trees and flowers look fresh and pristine. Plus there is a awesome mansion with 7 color tiles. In addition, there are some Cedar trees in Eram garden that very they are famous. All in all, the panoramic views of the garden, the aroma of flowers, the splendid view of old cypress trees and the grandeur of ancient building enchants visitors from all over the world and these are some of the reasons this unique garden has become one of the most visited attractions of Shiraz

Qavam House

Reviewed By RodF428 - Royal Wootton Bassett, United Kingdom

This was our first taste of a secular building a garden in Iran, and what a treasure it is. As so often in Iranian garden design, there is a lovely long pond with fountains, and many lovely trees and plants. The pavilion at the bottom of the garden has beautiful stucco work, and carved wooden pillars. But it is the reception hall which takes the breath away with the mirror mosaic and tile work. I personally found it more tasteful than the Golestan Palace in Tehran. The adjoining private family quarters is not quite as grand, but still very beautiful.
