I am in Yazd – Iran. UNESCO qualified Yazd as one of the oldest cities in the world. It has very special atmosphere – there is labirynth of narrow streets, arches and corridors – made of mud bricks, brown color… It is easy to be lost in the streets of the old town. And that’s fantastic. But it is hard to accept local guys riding tis narrow streets and also the bazars on moto bikes. They make a lot of noise and pollution… 21st century… The highlight of Yazd is Friday Moosque – beautifully decorated in and outside… There are Towers of Silence of zoroastrians just on the outskirts of the town. I saw also their temple with eternal flame…
I stay in the little Amir Chaqmagh hostel – they charge 50000 rials for single room with shared bath. Abbas – the manager speaks English and the staff is very friendly. But the advantage of this hostel is its location – just near the high towers of old Amir Chaqmagh complex. I see the glazed coupola and the minarets of the mosque through my window. Yes, and I hear the calls for pray several times during the day and night. Well – it could be additional attraction…
