Lovely memorial site and tomb of one of Persia's greatest poets, Saadi Shirazi.
Native to Shiraz and had never been anywhere in his life, it's amazing how his poets and verses are still being used by many people across the world.
The outer building of the tomb is new, with the inner walls decorated with his creations. Nice garden around it to just stroll around as well.

This place is at the end of Bostan street. Saadi is one of the great Persian poet and literature.
One amazing thing about the building of the tomb is architecture. It ihas a cubic shape from outside but from the inside, it is in the form of an octangle with walls of marble. You can see his poet on the wall.
This tomb is in the middle of a beautiful garden, you can walk and enjoy the music which plays there.

A must to see for those love literature and history!!! Abu Mohammad Moshref al-din Muslih bin Abdallah, known as Saadi Shirazi, was one of the major Persian poets and literary figures. Its surrounded by a beautiful garden and will provide a cozy atmosphere to explore and enjoy. Highly recommended!!!

It is always a pleasure for me to read Saadi's poems, and I make it a point to visit this place. It is one of the places that must be visited during private hours.

It is the tomb of one of the greatest poet that his poems are a life book...saadis poems should be one of the books that must be read before die because its full of useful and learning statements.
I think the poems are very useful for teaching ethics to children and also adults..

Its a great place that is full of positive energy....
Just need first visit to love this place...

It is the tomb

At first it may look like a random garden with a monument in the middle but if you read a little beforehand and know where are you going to , that makes a big difference. A tomb of a world traveler and poet and philosopher and suffi master that his quotes and thoughts are still being used and actually one of the main resources of Farsi literature in term of proverbs or metaphors etc .
If you like to have a good view you can hike from the hill nearby or grab some ice cream and carrot juice from the shops in front as they're famous for that .

Brilliant experience to see the tomb of the great humanist writer and poet. The location is very special, there are beautiful gardens surrounding the pavilion, and it's a wonderful place to be at the end of the day as the sunlight wanes and the birds return to the trees, telling each other about their days. Very memorable experience.
