This two-day “Faith and Architectural Treasures” journey will be an exploration of the stories told by stone and water. You will leave in the morning from your hotel in the city center and return in the evening to the same comfortable address. The route opens doors at a point where legends and craftsmanship meet.
As soon as you step into the Imamzadeh Mosque of Nehram, the cool light of the tiles welcomes you. When you take a breath in the courtyard, the traces of the arches appear to be like the silent signature of master hands.
You reach the hermitage of Baba Yağub Piri in Dereşam, and the shade of the cliffs offers you a peaceful place to rest. You listen to the whisper of prayer as it is carried by the wind in front of the stone cellar while feeling the rhythm of the path soften.
Inside the Tomb of Noah, a visit begins with light filtering through the dome. While hearing the echo of one’s steps, layers of narrative are discovered. The motifs twinkle like small windows opening onto the memory of the flood.
As you approach the Gülüstan Tomb in Julfa, the shadows of walls leaning over the river show the way. The steam of samovars rises in the teahouse; with your first sip, you will think you have heard the sounds of ancient caravan routes. A small conversation adds warmth to the place.
On the second day, on the Sadarak route, the upright stone markers of the Northern Tombs greet you. The patience of the flow around the Bridge of Good Hope gives a sense of balance to your walk. You will experience the harmony of new and old on this Heydarabad tour; refresh yourself with a refreshing break at the mineral waters of Sirab, then return comfortably to your city hotel in the city center.
