Meybod Ice House

One of the olddest and biggest ice houses in Iran. Being used to storage ice during winter time and use it in summer in past in desert.

Ice house with a history, but a little information about the site there. It looks impressive from outside and a little bit less impressive from inside. Ticket price is 15 tomans.
Tickets seller will offer you pomegranate syrup for 25 tomans.

Not very interesting, just one reservoir like you can see plenty for free in Iran. Especially for the price, which is the same as what is usually charged for a full house.

Maybod Ice house building was built 400 years ago, and it is one of the biggest ice house building in Iran.
The most common designs involved underground, usually egg-shaped ice houses made from mud-bricks which still exist in Iran. The thickness of the wall is 3 meters on ground and it gets less step by step and on the top of the dome the thickness comes to 25 cm it’s mean they just use one layer brick at the end.They designed small hole on top of the dumb because of two things, first thing , they didn’t need to use candles or other things when they went in side of building. The second one and actually the main reason was for circulation,the warm weather goes out from the top and cold weather stays inside of building.
Iranian built 4 big Hows (Howz: it’s like a pool in different sizes but not too deep,usually around 30 cm deep) in front of the building and when the water became ice in winter time ,they saved and preserved the pieces of the ice in the ice house building and they used these ice for summer time.

This old ice house dates back to the Qajar Era. Meybod Ice House is one of the few remaining ice houses located in Yazd Province which is made of adobe and mud. This ice house is comprised of walls that are high, a small pool with frozen water, a reservoir and a dome. Notice: there is 2$ entrance fee.
