Our first Anar Journey in Iran will take you to Khorasan, a region known to be the cradle of Sufism and part of the ancient Silk Road. It was in this area - the crossroads of Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan - that Rumi was born. Many other enlightened beings lived, taught and composed poetry in those lands, acting as forces of wisdom for many centuries. Their heritage continues to illuminate people’s lives today. Iran’s Khorasan region is a place different from any other. It still has an “ancient” taste to it. You can still find dervishes living in the seclusion of the mountains, master musicians playing the dotâr, an old Khorasani lute, and shrines that have retained the power of centuries of prayers.
