Iran, Islamic Republic Of

October 2, 2012

According to UNESCO, Yazd is one of the oldest towns in the world - every visitor should spend a few hours getting completely lost in this living museum. Look out for the tall wind-towers (Badgirs) on rooftops, designed to catch even the lightest breeze and direct them to underground living rooms. In the hot summers they are very necessary, and more healthy than modern air-conditioning.

The building styles are simple, traditional and quite exotic compared with the uniformity of most of the other large towns of Iran. The town is the color of clay, from the sun-dried bricks. The residential quarters appear almost deserted (but they aren't) because of the high walls, protecting the houses from the very narrow and liberty hine Kuchehs (alleys) crisscrossing the town.
