Excursion to Bam Citadel

In the morning at 09:00, your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Kerman, and we will drive to Bam (192 km). Bam is a historic city and the UNESCO-listed Arg-e Bam is the most important site of this city. Beyond the walls of the fortress of Bam, lies an ancient city where the succession of old streets and buildings culminate in the rise of one of the largest mud-brick structures in the world. The Citadel of Bam (Arg-e Bam) is an inseparable part of Kerman tours. It has claimed the horizon on the outskirts of the city of Bam, in Kerman Province, for more than two millennia. This area was at the crossroads of the Silk Road and roads leading into Central Asia, the Persian Gulf, and Egypt. The 7th to 11th centuries marked the heyday of the citadel as it became a prosperous trade center, contributing to the buzz of the trade with silk and cotton fabrics. The structure of the main citadel feeds the imagination of travelers seeking to explore the eccentricities and peculiarities of an exotic land, the probable hometown of the charming prince from a far-off country in the East. Being approximately established in the Sassanid era (224–651 CE), the entire structure has gone through numerous phases of destruction and reconstruction. Unfortunately, something about 80% of the Arg-e Bam was destroyed by the earthquake that struck the city in 2003. But the citadel is under reconstruction and more than half of it has been renovated. We will visit the citadel and back to Kerman around 15:00.
