about Mashhad

Mashhad (مشهد in Persian) is a city located 850 kilometers East of Tehran, Iran, and the center of the province of Khorasan. Mashhad has a population of more than 2.5 million.

It is the capital of Khorasan province. Imam Reza (the eighth Shi'ite Imam) is buried in this city. The city's climatic condition is varied with very cold winters, pleasant springs, usually mild summers and beautiful autumns.

Apart from a number of large beautiful parks, the tomb of Nader Shah and Kooh Sangi pool are noteworthy sights. There are also some locations outside the city: the tomb of Khajeh Morad kilometers from Mashhad along the road to Tehran; the tomb of Khajeh Rabi' located 6 kilometers north of the city where there are some inscriptions by the renowned Safavid calligrapher Reza Abbasi; and the tomb of Khajeh Abasalt in a distance of 20 kilometers from Mashhad along the road to Neishabur. (The three personalities were the disciples of Imam Reza).

Among the other sights are the tomb of the great poet Ferdowsi in Tus, 24 kilometers away from Mashhad; and the Summer resorts at Torghabeh, Torogh, Akhlamad, Zoshk and Shandiz.
