Goharshad Mosque

Reviewed By leyliebrn - Tehran, Iran

I really love this part of the complex of the Imam Reza Shrine. It the beautiful artworks from the Teymurid Era. And this part is less people groups and you can find more peace here. Also you can also enjoy the beauty artwork of the Iranian tiles and plastering work that called Mogharnas in Persian.

Kang Village

Reviewed By Parsa871 - Bologna, Italy

The village is located 40 km from Mashhad. It's an stepped village with very vernacular architecture. They are two accommodation places with licence in the village. One ecolodge and one homestay. Many of my European friends stayed at Ivan Kang Homestay. I suggest you roaming in the historic fabric of the village and visiting the waterfall close to the village. People are a little bit inward and do not take photos from the women and children, however they are absolutely photogenic!
