      Shiraz is known as the city of poets, literature, and flowers. Since there are many gardens and fruit trees in Shiraz (such as Eram Garden), many Iranians consider it the city of gardens.

      Shiraz wine refers separately to two different well-known wines. Historically, the name would refer to the wine which got produced around the city of Shiraz in Iran. Currently, “Shiraz” is an alternative name used for the Syrah grape, mostly used in Australia and South Africa.

      Shiraz has a variety of souvenirs you could buy, in the markets of Shiraz there are many types of Masqeti (including Pistachio, Rose, or saffron Masqati), with the most popular being Larestan Masqati. If you are looking to shop in Shiraz, it’s best to buy them from Vakil Bazzar.

      You could say that! The earliest chemical evidence for grape wine came from jars unearthed at the Neolithic village of Hajji Firuz Tepe, in the northern Zagros Mountains of northwestern Iran, around 2500 BC. The village dates to about 5400-5000BC.

      Shiraz: The City of Poetry

      Shiraz has been known as the epicenter of Persian civilization for over 2000 years. The name of this city has been registered in history books as "Tirazis", "Shirazis" and "Shiraz". Shiraz, the city of poets, literature, and flowers is the capital of the central-southern province of Fars and is regarded as the city of great poets, led by the major poets Hafez and Saadi, who even Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once adored. Today, their graceful mausoleums, the tomb of Hafez, and the tomb of Saadi, splendid and extensive attract legions of Persian visitors. Dominant industries in the city include the production of cement, sugar, fertilizers, textile products, wood products, metalwork, and rugs.

      The ancient city of Shiraz has some of the first Persian gardens and is a unique example of the hospitality and warmth of its people. Many historical and ancient attractions and old cities of the Persian Empire are placed in this city, showing the glory of a nation such as Persepolis Necropolis, and Pasargadae.

      If you visit Shiraz in the spring, when the fragrance of flowers, especially orange tree blossoms has filled up the air, you’ll feel the highlights of this cultural city. There’s also a visitable 3-story pavilion in the center of Eram Garden, a botanical Persian garden replete with palm trees, red roses, and flowing water. Also, Shāh Chérāgh is a funerary monument and mosque in Shiraz, which attracts many pilgrims yearly.

      Even if the name of the city suggests otherwise, Shiraz is not a city full of delicious red wine, because just like anywhere else in Iran, alcohol is strictly prohibited. For over a thousand years, Shiraz has been a regional trade center. It is one of the oldest cities in ancient Iran.
