See
Masjid-e Jame
Atashkadeh – Zoroastrian fire temple
Amir Chakhmakh Complex
A traditional roofed alley, represents the old fabric of the city
Masjid-e Jame (Friday Mosque), Masjid-e Jame street, which runs off Imam St. Dating back to the fourteenth century, it is well worth a visit. It is an example of finest Persian mosaics and excellent architecture. Its minarets are the highest in the country. Admire it at night when it is lit up.
Yazd Water Museum, Imam St corner. House converted to a museum with a lot of information about the Canat water distribution system. Contains nice cool underground rooms. Free.
Takyeh Amir Chakhmagh (Amir Chakhmagh Complex). Originally a mosque, a caravanserai, a tekyeh, a bathhouse, a cold water well, and a confectionery, this imposing structure fronts a square in the old town, opposite the water museum. You can pay a small amount to go inside and climb to the top, giving good local views, including of a nearby badgir (water reservoir with wind towers). The square has interesting fountains and is nice at night.
Cistern of Fatemeh-ye-Golshan. Easily-viewed reservoir with 4 badgirs (wind towers).
Amir Chakhmagh Mosque (Old Mosque). Mosque next to the Amir Chakhmagh Complex
Market Square Clock, Imam St.
Atashkadeh (Zoroastrian Fire Temple), Kashani Road (a few kilometres from the old town; a taxi might be best). The fire on the inside has supposedly been burning since AD 470. Free but donations appreciated.
Dakhmeh (Zoroastrian Towers of Silence). Huge circular walls on top of hills, where the dead were left to be picked clean by vultures. A quiet, serene place
Alexander's Prison. Neither built by Alexander the Great nor a prison, but a 15th-century domed school which is quite an interesting sight with a cafe in the 'prison room'. Guides say the deep well in the middle of its courtyard was built by Alexander the Great and was used as a dungeon although this is not confirmed. Also called Ziaiyyeh school.
Dowlat Abad Gardens. With a building with a beautiful large badgir. One of nine Persian gardens inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Yazd (Iran) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Yazd in Iran.
The ancient desert city of Yazd is located within the centre of the State Of Iran and is one of the country’s oldest cities, set like a string of pearls along the Kavir coast. It is also a centre for the followers of the Zarathustra faith, the pious predecessors of Islam who fled to the city to escape Arab persecution. A small square is situated in the middle of the Old Town district of Fahadan, flanked by historic buildings such as a prison where, according to legend, Alexander The Great held captive various Achaemenid dignitaries and which was later used as a school. The narrow streets of the historic Old Town mainly consist of mud-built buildings with partially covered corridors, domes and numerous wind towers. The maze of narrow streets in which several single-storey buildings are still inhabited has been designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. The city’s largest water storage tank is dominated by six wind towers that capture the slightest breeze that in turn cool down the stored water. Nearby, Agh-E-Dolat A-Bad, the magnificent palace residence of Mohamma Taqui Khan Bafqi who was Governor of Yazd from 1747 A.D. Yazd is not only an ancient culture, it is also an Oriental dream!

IRAN YAZD varzesh e pahlevani bastani
ورزش باستانی
Varzesh-e Bastani (varzeš-e bāstānī ورزش باستانی, Persian for ancient sport, also known as Varzesh-e Pahlavani) is a traditional style of folk wrestling practiced in Iran.
Varzesh-e Bastani combines elements of the pre-Islamic Iranian culture with the spirituality of Sufism. It places emphasis on spiritual and moral purity, participants being expected to be truthful, and good tempered and only then strong in body.
The principles of unpretentiousness are exemplified by a verse recited at many meetings: Learn modesty, if you desire knowledge. A highland would never be irrigated by river. (Kanz ol-Haghayegh)

Yazd (Chak Chak Zoroastrian religion) Part 48
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Chak Chak: Nikbanou, a heroine of the faith who according to tradition took shelter in the mountain and prayed for help. Miraculously, the mountain was said to have opened up and given protection to the princess, the youngest daughter of the last king of the Persian Sassanian empire.Adherents of the Zoroastrian religion from around the world gathered at a mountain shrine in central Iran this week to celebrate their Persian roots, praying in remembrance of a princess who fled the seventh century Arab invasion.
Chak Chak (Persian: چك چك – Drip-Drip, also Romanized as Chek Chek; also known as Chāhak-e Ardakān and Pir-e Sabz (Persian: پیر سبز) is a village in Rabatat Rural District, Kharanaq District, Ardakan County, Yazd Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its existence was noted, but its population was not reported.
The village consists of a pir perched beneath a towering cliff face in the desert of central Iran. It is the most sacred of the mountain shrines of Zoroastrianism. Located near the city of Ardakan in Yazd Province, Chak Chak serves as a pilgrimage point for pious Zoroastrians. Each year from June 14–18 many thousands of Zoroastrians from Iran, India and other countries flock to the fire temple at Pir-e Sabz. Tradition has it that pilgrims are to stop the moment they see the sight of the temple and continue their journey on foot the rest of the way.
In Zoroastrian belief, Chak Chak is where Nikbanou, second daughter of the last pre-Islamic Persian ruler, Yazdegerd III of the Sassanid Empire, was cornered by the invading Arab army in 640 CE. Fearing capture Nikbanou prayed to Ahura Mazda to protect her from her enemies. In response to Nikbanou's pleadings, the mountain miraculously opened up and sheltered her from the invaders.
Notable features of Chak Chak include the ever-dripping spring located at the mountain. Legend has it that these drops are tears of grief that the mountain sheds in remembrance of Nikbanou. Growing beside the holy spring is an immense and ancient tree said to be Nikbanou's cane. Legend also has it that a petrified colorful cloth from Nikbanou was also visible in the rocks, although pilgrims have since removed it.The actual temple of Chak Chak is a man-made grotto sheltered by two large bronze doors. The shrine enclosure is floored with marble and its walls are darkened by fires kept eternally burning in the sanctuary. In the cliffs below the shrine are several roofed pavilions constructed to accommodate pilgrims.
