Karim Khan Zand, the founder of the Zand dynasty, chose Shiraz as his capital and declared himself as “Vakil,” the lawyer of the nation, rather than a king. We continue to the Vakil complex, Vakil Mosque, Bazar, and public baths remaining from his reign. We also visited the colorful Nasirolmolk mosque.
In the afternoon, you will fly to Kish Island, and after your transfer to the hotel, you can stroll around this beautiful island and perhaps have a cup of coffee with the locals.

In the morning, we start our full-day tour of Isfahan at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Naghsh-e-Jahan Sq.
