Hi to all the future visitors of Shiraz. I'm Bahar and I will be pleased to be your guide and show you around my hometown city of Shiraz. This is my story: I studied Handicrafts (BA) at Shiraz university and also the research of Art (BA) when I used to live in Tehran. I really missed my hometown due to its intimate atmosphere and hospitable people.
