Pars Event
Iran's cultural calendar
Experience culture along its roads: the routes that tie cities, poets, places and events together.
Rumi and Hafez
From the fervour of mysticism to the secret of the ghazal
The road that stayed open between Anatolia and Fars for centuries: from the green dome of Konya to the two orange gardens of Shiraz.
Saadi and Ferdowsi
From the wisdom of speech to the grandeur of epic
The desert road to Khorasan: north-east out of Shiraz to Ferdowsi's tomb at Tus, beside present-day Mashhad.
Event posters, photographs of the Hafezieh, and the lines that stayed with us.
