Bike around town
Whether you want to ride a road bike, mountain bike, or enjoy a causal city cruise, there is an experience for all bike afficionados in Yazd. The city has many kilometres of mapped cycling routes throughout the city, offering an authentic way to travel to all the main attractions around town and see the city with wind in your hair.
Yazd has the highest number of bikes per person in Iran, which has earned it the nickname of 'the City of Bicycles'. You won't have any trouble finding a shop where you can rent one. Alternatively, join a guided tour where you'll be provided with the bike as well as commentary on everything you're seeing.
Fly by the bazaars and stop for coffee or tea when you need to rest. Move at your own pace between historic sites. Or, as well as weaving through the narrow streets in the old city, you could take a mountain bike out into the dirt roads around Yzad to head into the desert or up into the mountains. Either way, it's a great way to explore the sights of one of the oldest cities in the world.
This experience is best in May and September when temperatures are cooler.
