Shah Abbas Caravanserai

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:27:00

Central Neishabur is a rather unexciting place, but very close to Khayyam Sq, the restored Shah Abbas Caravanserai hosts souvenir shops, the Sofrakhane Sonati Abashah traditional teahouse and a small Nature Museum ; ask at the teahouse if the local speciality of rhubarb is in season and try the sorbet drink. Amid the museum’s displays of stuffed birds, local animals, pinned insects and pickled snakes, notice the bottled human foetuses.

The single-alley Safavid-era covered bazaar starts about 300m further west.
