Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Kaksi valtavaa kättä, jotka kannattelevat avointa Koraania, toivottavat jokaisen Širaziin saapuvan tervetulleeksi jo vuodesta 2005 lähtien. Tämä 32 metriä korkea portti on kopio 1000-luvun alkuperäisestä portista, jonka hallitsija Adud al-Dawla rakennutti.
Kohokohdat: Joka yö portti syttyy sadoilla LED-valoilla, jotka korostavat kivikirjan kalligrafiaa. Kirkkaina iltoina paikalliset uskovat, että lasimosaiikista heijastuva valo luo ympäröiviin puihin illuusion välkkyvistä tähdistä.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Come after dark, when the gate is illuminated with colorful lights and looks magical.
- Stand exactly in the middle of the road (carefully, watch for cars) for a perfectly symmetrical photo.
- Do not limit yourself to just the gate: walk through the small park right next to it with a view of the entire structure.
- Watch out for fast-moving cars, the road leads directly under the gate and there is no separate sidewalk.
