Neyriz
Fārs, Iran
Why visit Neyriz?
Neyriz (نیریز) is a city in eastern Fārs Province, about 200 km east of Shiraz. It is known for the nearby Bakhtegan Lake, a salt lake that is an important bird habitat.
The climate is semi-arid.
The town serves as a quiet base for exploring the surrounding region, with its own charms including traditional architecture, local bazaars, and the warm hospitality of its residents. Visitors who take the time to explore beyond the main thoroughfares will discover a side of Iran that few international travellers see — authentic, unhurried, and deeply rooted in centuries of tradition.
