It is most beautiful here in the late afternoon or early evening, when the sun gilds the dome and the garden. You will also avoid the midday heat and enjoy a more peaceful atmosphere.
Budgettips
The entrance fee is approximately 200,000 Iranian rials (about 1-2 euros). Do not forget to bring cash, as cards do not work in Iran.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Hafez's tomb is surrounded by a beautiful garden with orange trees and cedars, creating a peaceful atmosphere already at the entrance. Locals regularly come here to recite his poetry and seek inspiration, making it a living cultural center, not just a tourist attraction.
Højdepunkter: Under the dome decorated with mosaics lies an alabaster tombstone engraved with verses from Hafez's poems. During warmer evenings, you can see locals sitting in the shade of cypress trees reciting his poetry to each other, creating a magical, almost otherworldly atmosphere.
Insidertips
- Bring your own book of Hafez's poetry and try the tradition of fal-e Hafez (divination through poetry) by opening a random page.
- The best photos can be taken at sunset, when the dome and garden are beautifully lit.
- Avoid Fridays (Iranian weekend), when there are the most local visitors here.
- Respect local customs: women should have their hair covered with a scarf and clothing covering shoulders and knees.
