[Iran] Kaleidoscope World! Shah Cherag Mausoleum

Shiraz is a city in the southwest of Iran. There, you will find the Shah Cheragh Mosque, which is filled with a beautiful kaleidoscope world. "Shah Cheragh" means "King of Light" in Persian, and as the name suggests, the interior of the mosque is filled with mirror mosaics, and a flood of light so bright it makes your eyes sting creates a real kaleidoscope world. All Islamic mosques are beautiful, but I personally think this one is No. 1... By the way, Iran is a strict Islamic country, and even non-Muslim foreigners must wear a hijab (or scarf) on their heads. In particular, when entering the mosque, you need to wear a chador that covers your toes (they lend you one at the entrance). Also, some gatekeepers refuse to let in non-Muslim foreigners, and I often hear sad stories of people not being able to enter, but When I visited (2016), I was allowed to enter at least with a female guide who spoke English. The guide was only there the first time, and once I learned the rules, I was able to enter without a guide the second time. Above all, it is open 24 hours a day, so you can see the night lights. (By the way, Asians are particularly rare, so be prepared for a storm of staring and taking photos.) Shah Cheragh (Shāh-é-Chérāgh) is a funerary monument and mosque in Shiraz, Iran. Shah Cheragh is the meaning of Persian for "King of the Light". It's like a kaleidoscopic world with ethereal beauty that its interior is decorated by all pieces of mirrors. #tripoverseastravel #Iran #amazingview #mosque
