Exploring the heart of Persia with my family, where every brick tells a story.
Read Our StoryAs a proud native of Yazd, my family and I frequently return to this enchanting city, deeply connected to our roots. Our ancestral home in Mehriz, a historic town within Yazd Province, has been lovingly restored to its original grandeur. Built over 200 years ago, this house stands as a testament to our enduring bond with Yazd's rich cultural legacy.
Yazd, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Nestled in the heart of Iran's central desert, it is celebrated for its unique adobe architecture, labyrinthine alleys, and iconic badgirs (windcatchers)—ancient cooling systems that showcase Persian ingenuity. The city is a living museum of Zoroastrian heritage, home to the sacred Fire Temple, where a flame has burned for over 1,500 years, and the Tower of Silence, a solemn reminder of ancient rituals.
Yazd's thriving bazaars brim with craftsmanship, from handwoven silk textiles to intricate pottery and qanat-made sweets like baghlava and pashmak. The city's resilience in the harsh desert climate is mirrored in its people, whose warmth and hospitality leave a lasting impression.
Located just 30 kilometers south of Yazd, Mehriz is a tranquil oasis surrounded by pistachio orchards and mountain vistas. This town is famed for its historic gardens, such as the UNESCO-listed Pahlavanpur Garden, and ancient caravanserais that once sheltered Silk Road travelers. Our restored ancestral home here bridges past and present, offering a glimpse into centuries of family history and Yazd's architectural traditions.
By revitalizing our ancestral home, we honor Yazd's timeless spirit and contribute to safeguarding Iran's cultural heritage. Each visit to Yazd and Mehriz deepens our connection to this land of sun-baked earth, starry skies, and stories etched into every brick.
