TEHRAN – The anniversary of Imam Reza\u2019s (the eighth Shia Imam) historic entry into Neyshabur has officially been added to Iran\u2019s tourism calendar.<\/p>\n
That special occasion, according to the head of Neyshabur\u2019s cultural heritage, tourism, and handicrafts office, highlights the ancient city\u2019s pivotal role in religious and cultural tourism.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Kamal Khani announced the registration, noting that it aligns with the national strategy of organizing and professionalizing event tourism.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe move is part of a broader initiative under the government\u2019s transformation roadmap to promote tourism at local, provincial, national, and international levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khani emphasized that registering events like this contributes to economic growth, social vitality, and cultural enrichment. “Tourism is a critical element in urban and rural development, and this initiative will pave the way for sustainable employment and economic progress,” he said.<\/p>\n
Neyshabur holds special importance in Iran\u2019s religious tourism sector, particularly as the site of Imam Reza\u2019s Qadamgah (place of passing). This revered site, located 24 kilometers east of Neyshabur, features a historical building surrounded by lush gardens. Constructed in the 11th century AH upon the order of the Safavid Shah Abbas, the Qadamgah has undergone various renovations and expansions over the centuries, including additions such as caravanserais, a cistern, and a bathhouse.<\/p>\n
Razavi Khorasan province, home to Neyshabur, is a cornerstone of religious tourism in Iran. Khani noted that Imam Reza\u2019s Qadamgah continues to attract pilgrims and tourists annually, underscoring its enduring cultural and spiritual importance.<\/p>\n
