Shiraz 2008 شیراز

The city of roses and nightingales, the city of poets and philosophers, the city of warriors and kings, and above all the city of monuments where great empires of Achaemenid have come to power.

The beautiful and charming city of Shiraz is about 919 km far from Tehran and it is the center of the Fars Province. This township has a moderate climate with regular seasons. Since long Shiraz has been considered to have a great importance in the history. Its name can be found in the Elamite inscriptions of Persepolis. The memorial tombs of two well-known poets of Iran, Hafez and Sa`di, as well as Khajoo are all situated in the city of Shiraz.

The places in this video are as follows:

The Qur'an Gate
Tomb of Sa'di
Tomb of Hafez

Eram Garden (Park)

The Tomb of Hafez

Hafez' tomb is the closest to the town centre. Built in 1953 in a garden, the mausoleum is a small open pavilion; inside which is a marble tombstone with several of the poets' verses. One of the nicest tea-houses (chaikhaneh) in Shiraz can be found in the grounds, set around a rectangular pool. You can sit around on cushions sip a cup of tea, or rose water while reflecting on his poetry. Hafez spent most of his life in his native town and died there in 1389. He is considered the undisputed master of the ghazal, and his poems reflect a richness and a subtlety unequalled even by the other great talent, Saadi.

The Tomb of Saadi

Saadi's tomb is in the north-east of Shiraz. Set in a pleasant garden, the present tomb was built in 1952 and replaces an earlier much simpler construction. Unlike Hafez, Saadi travelled extensively in Iraq and Syeria, where he was even taken prisoner by the Crusaders. Upon His return to Shiraz, Saadi wrote his most famous works, the Bustan (The Orchard) and the Golestan (The Rose Garden), which are moral tales written either in verse or in a mixture of prose and verse. Saadi is said to have died in 1290 at the grand old age of 101.

Among the whole lot of cities I traveled, Shiraz is far away the best. It is like a heaven. It is more a garden of paradise than a city. Wish I could go there again.

Beautiful.

Where can I get a song that only plays atune like the part in the beginning? The 'tombak'?

Die Rosen von Schiras sind auch bei uns berühmt. Allerdings ziehe ich die rumelische Rosenzucht der persischen vor. Aber das ist sicher Geschmackssache.
