Yazd

Yazd (Inscribed)

Yazd by Jean Lecaillon

I visited Yazd in 2016 when it wasn't on the WH list. And even if UNESCO didn't inscribe it yet, it was one of my favorite place in Iran.

The reason of my enchantment is that it's a human-size city, quiet small and with pleasant narrow streets. The rammed earth houses and all the constructions are made to protect people against the torrid sun. Ping pong tables seemed also in rammed earth, it was quiet funny.

With two friends of me, we took advantage to be in Yazd to visit a qanat, other WHS inscribed the year we have been in Iran.

Besides the WHS itself, we attended a Zurkhaneh performance, a kind of strength performance. If you have the opportunity to see a such trial in Iran, just do it! :)
