Shrines and Mosques

Iran is home to several stunning mosques. These mosques have been constructed for over a millennium and are a significant component of Iranian historical architecture. Mosques exhibit Iranian Islamic art quite effectively. Here, we'll go through some key procedures and decency when visiting mosques and shrines.

Mosques and shrines are open to non-Muslims. For accessing historic mosques like the Imam mosque in Isfahan, there is no specific attire required. But ladies are required to don a "chador" at mosques and shrines. There is a chador at the entry if you don't have one of them.

Be polite when entering a mosque or a shrine's edifice. If there is a carpet on the floor, avoid stepping on it with your shoes. Give the workers at the entry your shoes, or carry them with you in the plastic bags that are provided. Typically, photography is allowed. But it's frequently prohibited inside shrines. So, heed the cues.
