Tomb of Ferdowsi in Chenārān

very very Wonderful and memorable

An important historical to visit.Shahname from Ferdowsi is the equivalent of the Odyssey from Homer.Youll learn the achievements of Rostam.

such a beautiful and poetic place.

The father of the new Persia language (Farsi), Shahnameh (Book of the Kingsis an epic masterpiece. The museum inside this complex worth to visit.

Ferdowsi is known to be the writer of Shahnama in which he wrote the history of Iran. Coming to Mashhad and not visiting Ferdowsi is not possible so we visited it and it was wonderful to feel the weather of there. You will get the literature of Ferdowsi and other Persian literature too at the the tomb of Ferdowsi.

I really love being in the tomb of ferdowsi,I have visited Mohammad Reza Shajarian and also Akhvan Sales, my favourite singer and poet.I visited the place in early morning.The place is open to visit actually at 10 am.The place is very good for family and it is a safe place.There is a cafe inside which opens at 10:30.

So much love this place. The first place to visit when I go back to Mashhad.

I so love this place.. Ferdowsi is a great ancient poet of Iran.. in this place there is tomb of Shajarian and Akhavan Sales

Great historical landmark to visit when in Mashad. The weather at the time of my visit was also quite swell and not many people were in sight.

Everyone should see it at least once.

This place is self explanatory, you will be amazed by all the details and architecture

Love this place.. a lot to learn about the culture and poetry and history and also great place to enjoy a day out with kids

Lovely historical place😍

Wasnt as great as I expected, its so far from the city yet it doesnt have a lot of new and exciting attractions to offer. What I liked most about it was the museum of historical objects.All in all, it is worth visiting once but not more.

Full of energy and proud for Persian language, RIP BIg Master Ferdowsi

Nice place

The legacy of Ferdowsis Shahnameh, both in terms of ancient national traditions and in terms of preserving the Dari Persian language, is The most remarkable and most precious text in the history of the Persian language and the elders have called the Shahnameh the Iranian Quran

I call him as the king of Persian language, I feel very well here, energetic tomb, perfect place

Fantastic design by #houshang seyhoun

All tourist most see this place and know about ferdowsi... i proud of it❤

Very nice experience. Good transportation service to city center.

One of the greatest authors of all times, he lived a thousand years ago and he wrote in Persian language.

Tomb of Ferdowsi is one of the most beautiful tombs among other tombs in Iran. I was there in autumn and it was at the sunset. Incredible. Here some photos...

How are doing now

Most brilliant feature in persian language. With all my respect for hakim Abolghasem Ferdowsi. Ferdowsi and Akhavan Tombs. Suggest it for all. Ofcourse this place needs more hygiene and managing

An amazing place to visit with a hole lot of history behind it

This tomb Was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! EVERYONE has to give it a try!!! I took some pictures from inside the tomb and there were ancient some made sculptures of Ferdowsis characters from his books! It was wonderful :D

Tomb of Ferdowsi and the museum nearby are full of history. History of Iran and other things. I recommend you to visit there. But you have to know you need someone who explain that history if not you will dislike it.

Beautiful and histological place but unfortunately the old house of Ferdowsi was destroyed partially.

Thaths a beutiful place in iran , mashad. I promise thats amazing!

Its very memorable and historic... I have a lot of tourists every time and when we visit this place all of them are satisfied about their choice.

Ferdowsi is a highly revered Persian poet, & the author of the epic of Shahnameh. Tomb of Ferdowsi located in Tus, Iran, in Razavi Khorasan province is just 20 Kilometers outside of Mashhad. The tomb complex’s grounds include a beautiful garden, a museum & the tomb of the great poet Mehdi Akhavan-Sales.Lot of local Iranians, thinkers, poets & International tourists including poets visit this tomb. Unfortunately, there is a expensive enterance fee which is nonsense. Religious Shrines & tombs of poets must not be used to earn money.

The building is very nice but around it need more to Lok after...

Beautiful monument constructed in achamenid style design for the greqt persian poet. Not far from the center of the city. Definitely a must see.
