Arg-e Bam
The ancient mud city of Bam is the largest adobe structure on earth and, until the 2003 earthquake, it was one of the jewels in Iran’s tourism crown. The site has been occupied for almost 2000 years and post-earthquake analysis has revealed the walls were first built using Sassanian-style mud-bricks. Bam was a staging post on the trade routes between India and Pakistan at one end and the Persian Gulf and Europe at the other. Visitors, including Marco Polo, were awestruck by the city’s 38 towers, huge mud walls and fairy-tale citadel – the Arg-e Bam.

Hezar-o Yek Shab
- Bam, Iran
- Restaurants › Other
The name means ‘1001 nights’, and eating on the takhts (daybed-style tables) in the rear garden is a favourite Bami experience. The food is excellent, especially the juicy chicken kabab, and it’s bastani (ice cream) is famous.

Soot-e Delan
This indoor/outdoor chaykhaneh (teahouse) is a fun place to sit and socialise over chay (tea) and qalyan (water pipe) with the young men of Bam. The location deep in a park is not great for solo women.
