About About the place

The Yazd Water Museum provides a fascinating insight into the ingenious qanat system, an ancient method of water management developed in Persia to transport water across long distances in arid regions. Housed within a restored 19th-century merchant’s house, the museum showcases the engineering brilliance and immense labor involved in creating and maintaining these underground channels. Exhibits include models, photographs, historical tools, and access to original canals and cisterns. The museum highlights the vital role water played in the survival and development of Yazd, offering a valuable historical and cultural context for understanding the region’s relationship with this precious resource. The cooler temperatures in the underground sections provide a welcome respite from the desert heat.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

If there is one way to describe my visit, it would be unbelievable. This place was just extraordinarily amazing and beautiful. The gorgeous locations, the history associated with the places, the super fun tourist spots, the delicious cuisine, warm and friendly people and to top it all, the kind hospitality we received, I am just so happy and joyful about my vacation here.. Our trip to this magnificent city was unbelievable. We had a wonderful time enjoying the various beautiful sites of the city. The location and the scenery here is stunning and the people are warm and welcoming. We stayed at this beautiful place where everyone made our time special. The local cuisine is a must try.

It was a pleasing and an interesting visit to this great museum. They had a huge collection of fascinating artefacts and culturally infused items. I really enjoyed a few parts of it. It is quite big so you might feel a little bored in between. You can skip through whatever doesn't interest you.

This place was not the main attraction on our list but we decided to take a little detour and visit this place and see the bizz for ourselves. Honestly, there is not so much to see except for the town hall city market which is the only happening place here and also has few really nice restaurants. Other than that, there is nothing to see here and also not so many good places to stay, you can simply skip it.. I always wanted to visit this city as it was on my bucket list and there is so much to see here that you really really fell in love with the culture, the buildings, the people and the food of this place. We took the tour package where the guide took us to all the main spots and apart from it, we were able to enjoy so much at the markets of the city and shopped so much stuff.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

I have visited many museums but this by far has been the best and the most beautiful museums i visited. The display is arranged in such a manner that it all looks like some big art. The pieces of the collection are just marvellous and the audio guide present there gives away all the information you need to make it more interesting.
