Overview

Shiraz, Shopping and Cooking Experience

The magnificent city of Shiraz is famous worldwide for its wonderful mosques, hammams (bathhouses) and bitter orange gardens. In this entertaining cooking tour, we take you to the lively local bazaar to witness the energetic people of Shiraz moving and shopping in every corner. Next, you will learn how to handpick the freshest ingredients and learn about the differences between the high-quality Persian rice and other types of rice. After a short joyful walk in the colorful city of Shiraz, we get to our cooking class which takes place inside of a warm Persian household.

In cold seasons we will show you how to brew Persian tea and serve it. In Iran serving tea is an art, there are so many subtle details and traditions to notice. Teacups should be on top of tiny dishes called “Nalbaki” then placed on a tray, alongside sugar cubes, dates or rock candies. In hot seasons of the year, you will learn how to make healthy Persian Sharbats by mixing mint, willow or bitter orange extracts with saffron, sugar or rosewater.

We will teach you a three-course meal of your choice, you will participate in cooking and learn how to cook Persian dishes with finesse. First, you can learn to cook Dopiaze Sibzamini, a traditional, simple and healthy appetizer which consists of mashed potatoes and onions. Other candidates for appetizer are Mirza Ghasemi (eggplants, tomatoes and eggs) and Kashke Bademjan (eggplants, Kashk sauce and frie onions). For the entrée, you can learn the most famous Shirazi dish, Kalam Polo. It is cooked with shredded cabbage, lamb meat and rice. You can also choose other main courses like Abgoosht and Khoresht Gheimeh (meat, split peas and dried lime). Finally, a very popular dessert that you can choose is Sholeh Zard, which is a delicious saffron rice pudding, seasoned with cinnamon and rose water. Of course you can choose other desserts like Ranginak (dates and walnuts) or Halava (flour, butter, rose water and sugar) as well.

Enjoy your well-earned meal with us while making interesting conversations about Persian culture, the city of Shiraz and Iranian cuisine.

Excellent service and support Excellent Service ! i am surprised by the reactivity and the will to help and find quickly hotels, flights and solutions for me, even though the holiday season makes things challenging. Chatting through whatsapp made things super smooth and extremely easy. I was interacting with two people from TAP Persia, Rojin and Sohrab. They were just amazing ! They are the ones who reached out to me directly and interacted instantly with me day and night. Great job guys !I used earlier a different company but i was disappointed, i strongly recommend TAP Persia .Keep up the great work !

Fabulous agency - can't recommend more highly for travellers to Iran I decided to go to Iran at short notice and was only able to do so thanks to the exceptional service provided by TAP Persia.What further complicated was my ignorance of being in the middle of Nowruz and the impact that has on flight availabilities etc.In the first instance, that revolved around speedy obtainment of a visa as well as other aspects such as insurance and mah card via their great-value welcome pack.Thereafter, all of my accommodation, tour guides and transport between destinations was arranged by the beyond-wonderful Mahgol with tremendous efficiency, patience and responsiveness - I could not praise nor thank her enough.Communications are as good as can be.With my lack of Farsi and, more specifically, incomprehension of the alphabet, doing things in this manner was the only way to go.All of the guides - Fatemah, Amin, Fardin, Moji, Peyman and Masoud - were fantastic being passionate, knowledgeable, smarter-than-average bears and very nice people.Rasool, Mehrnoush and Sohrab in the office were also very helpful.I would say though that, to help them (especially) to try to draft your itinerary as much as possible before approaching them as this will save time i.e. places, days in each, hotel price-range then trust them to select the latter for you.

Great Service 🙂 TApersia accompanied us well on the way to our Iran visa. My wife's visa took 2 weeks longer than mine (German EU & I'm Swiss). Our questions were always answered quickly by the nice Mahgol via WhatsApp. We think she did her best for our visa processing. After a while, we were also asked how we were doing! Nice, support and promptness are at the highest level.

Solo Saudi female in <3 IRAN <3 10/10. It's hard for me to be succinct, but I will try. I am a Saudi who has been impressed, curious, and infatuated by Iranian culture(s), Iron Age history, Islamic & other religious histories, architecture, and geography for over 15 years. Yum, and food. I wanted initially to continue my Persian language study at Dehkhoda Institute, however student visas take much longer than other visas to process, and I would likely miss my class during the processing time. I was disheartened and scrambled through my Google bookmarks looking for old travel that I had saved over the years in my Iran folder. 😉 TAP Persia was bookmarked numerous times and I quickly applied for a tourist visa. Hey, I can still practice some Persian as a tourist, right? THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. So smooth! Mahgol deserves all the praise and recognition for bringing relief to my anxious-self (because I had already long-ago booked my airline tickets and took time off work!), and she walked me through all the steps in a timely manner and with competence and grace. Even during the first week of Norouz and Ramadan, I got a friendly update and advice -- got my tourist visa within 5 or 6 days (the Ministry was closed for Ramarouz, but WOW that was still quick). I cried from happiness and surprise... Thank you thank you. I will be in Iran April to mid-May. Originally I just registered for TAP Persia welcome package + visa help, but now I'm pretty curious about signing up for one or 2 of their tours now. I am beyond impressed and excited. This travel company, Mahgol, & this team already made me feel safe and like I'm going home, and I imagine with their business practice, will prosper for many years down the road. Thank you so much. Someone please remind me to update this post with photos once I arrive to Iran <3

Iranvisum Ich habe mein Visa für den Iran über TAP Persia beantragt, da der normale Weg zu kompliziert war und sehr viele potentielle Fehler birgt. Ich kann den Service definitiv empfehlen. Alles ist sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Der Preis für diesen Service ist es in meinen Augen definitiv Wert. Auch der Kontakt nach der Beantragung über WhatsApp war sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und hilfreich.
