Yazd is a gem of winding lanes, blue tiled domes, soaring minarets, bazaars, and courtyard homes topped by badgirs (wind-towers) and watered by qanats (underground water channels).
It is also very well known for its Zoroastrian Fire Temples, Ab Anbars (cisterns), Yakhchals (coolers), Persian handicrafts, handwoven cloth (Persian Termeh), silk weaving, Persian cotton candy, and its time-honored confectioneries.
