Spread
across
a
hill
5km
north
of
Herat,
Takht-e
Safar
is
a
popular
place
for
picnics.
Built
as
a
pleasure
garden
for
Sultan
Baiqara
in
the
14th
century,
it's
an
oasis
of
green,
with
good
views
to
the
city.
It's
a
popular
place
for
picnics
and
to
catch
the
sunset
(when
cars
full
of
wedding
parties
often
descend
on
the
scene).
At
the
bottom
of
the
hill
is
a
small
theme
park,
complete
with
rides
and
a
giant
concrete
pigeon.
As
you
go
up
the
hill,
you
pass
a
large
swimming
pool,
popular
with
males
of
the
species
in
the
summer
months.
There's
a
small
café
offering
drinks
and
ice
cream.
Further
up
the
hill
is
a
wedding
club,
backed
by
a
large
mural
of
Ismail
Khan
with
Ahmad
Shah
Massoud.
Climbing
these
steps
provides
the
best
views
of
Herat.
