    A beautiful part of Shiraz is full of lovely memories from my childhood to date. I'm sure everyone would visit this place, but you will be amazed by its cheerful vibe if you walk through the area.

    Quran Gate is located in northeast of Shiraz in the canyon of Allah-o Akbar between Chehel Maqam Mountain, & Baba-Koohi Mountain located at the exit of Shiraz towards the city of Marvdasht. This is one of the most beautiful Islamic gates. From here, you can take a bird's eye view of the Shiraz. View is beautiful indeed. During winter, Iranian families come here for picnic or lunch too. They come with carpets, & food & enjoy the moments there. In the evening, whole city sparkles like a stars. So, you must visit this gate, if you are in Shiraz.

    Historic place, nice walk especially at night. More interesting is the walk up the hill on the other side. You'll enjoy an amazing view on Shiraz. Best time to go there is before the dusk.

    Shiraz Quran Gate The most beautiful entrance to Shiraz, which was built during the reign of Az-Dawla Dailami between Baba Koohi and Chehel Magham mountains at the exit of Shiraz to Isfahan, and a Quran was placed in it to bless the travelers who pass under it. During the Zandi period, Karim Khan Zand rebuilt it and added a room above it and placed two large Qurans in it. These Qurans, known as the Seventeen I Qurans, have now been transferred from the Quran Gate to the Persian Museum. This building was registered in the list of national monuments in 1375. This historical monument is located next to the tomb and park of Khajavi Kermani and Tavousieh Square, and on the opposite side of it, a park has been created at the foot of the mountain, making the whole place a suitable place for recreation and leisure. The Quran Gate dominates the whole city and is close to beautiful places such as Hafeziyeh, Jahan Nama Garden and the Haft Tanan Museum, which can also be visited on foot.

    This was the main entrance to the city shiraz back in days. Its called Quran gates because it has a Quran over the gate to protect people leaving the city and entering. It’s a very nice place to visit at night where you could find many seller using trollies to sell street food.

    Located in the north of Shiraz, between the Chehel Maghan Mount and the Baba Koohi Mount, the Quran Gate or Darvazeh Quran is one of the historical gates of Shiraz which is still one of the icons of the city. It has got renovated for many times throughout history in spite of getting damaged because of natural disasters. Known for its historical value and wonderful architecture, the Quran Gate is one of the attractions of Shiraz and must-see places of this city. Highly recommended!!!

  • 3/5 Amir A. 10 months ago on Google
    The only gate left out of the 7 old gates that were the entrances to Shiraz in the past. This gate has housed a handwritten Qur'an (Holy Book of Muslims) in its upper chamber for years so that travelers and passers-by pass under it to avoid danger and have a safe journey. This is why this gate is known as the gate of the Quran This gate has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. What can be seen today was built in 1328 AH equivalent to 1950 AD by Bazgan named Hossein Igar, who was also buried near the gate.

    The place looks great at night with the lighting and the waterfalls. During the day you can climb up the nearby hills to get a better view of the area and of all Shiraz.

    Guarding the main entrance into the city (the one from Teheran), the gate is a typical Islamic arch, just a few steps from an intriguing green peacock in the middle of the roundabout
