Mahan
Eine Wüstenoase aus Paradiesgärten und die türkisfarbene Kuppel eines Mystikers
6 Highlights · tippen Sie auf einen PunktMahan ist eine kleine Hochlandstadt rund 35 km südöstlich der Stadt Kerman, auf knapp 1.900 m am Rand der Wüste gelegen und berühmt für zwei der eindrucksvollsten Baudenkmäler Irans. Der von der UNESCO gelistete Shazdeh-Garten (Prinzengarten) ist ein terrassierter Paradiesgarten aus der Qajar-Zeit, der einen Wüstenhang hinabfließt; seine gestuften Wasserläufe werden von einem Qanat und Bergquellen gespeist – ein trotziger Kontrast zur umgebenden Trockenheit. In der Stadt selbst liegt der Schrein von Shah Nematollah Vali, des Sufi-Meisters und Dichters des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts, dessen Grabanlage mit ihrer berühmten türkisfarbenen Kuppel und den beiden Minaretten seit fast sechs Jahrhunderten Pilger anzieht. Zusammen machen sie Mahan zu einem kompakten, aber außergewöhnlichen Halt, der die Kunst des persischen Gartens mit gelebtem Sufi-Erbe verbindet.
