Most of the gardens for which Shiraz was once famous do not exist any more, but the town still has a number of parks and gardens, which are particularly pleasant to wander through in the summer.

Hafez tomb is the closest to the town Center. Built in 1953 in a garden, the mausoleum is a small open pavilion; inside which is a marble tombstone with several of the poet’s verses. you can also enjoy a cup of tea or rose water at the tea house. Hafez spent most of his life in his native town. He is considered the undisputed master of the ghazal and his poems reflect the richness and a subtlety unequaled even by the other great talent, Sa’di. He has one verse master piece, Divan Hafez, which we believe can fortune tell. Be sure to try it.There are maps and art books and postcards in the bookshop inside the mausoleum. You can even enjoy the chance of having your fortune told before leaving the place by only a trivial amount of money.
Sadie’s tomb is in the north-east of Shiraz. Set in a pleasant garden, the present tomb was built in 1952 and replaces an earlier much simpler construction. Unlike Hafez, Sa’di traveled extensively in Iraq and Syria, where he was even taken prisoner by the Crusaders. Upon his return to Shiraz, Sa’di wrote his most famous works, the Bustan (The Orchard) and the Golestan (The Rose Garden), which moral tales are written either in verse or in a mixture of prose and verse. Sa’di is said to have died in 1290 at the grand age of 101.
