Yazd, the “Noble city” of Marco Polo, is an ancient city with a history of over 5,000 years dating back to the Median Empire. Yazd is one of the important cities of Silk Road called “the bride of the desert” with a completely desert climate. It owns lots of cultural, historical and natural attractions which caused the whole city being considered in the tentative list of UNESCO. Yazd is a famous symbol of Persian architecture for its unique wind catchers, useful for hot areas, and magnificent tile works of the mosques and minarets.
