Recently we discussed the great cities of pakistan --and i am currently reading a book called “Taarikh-e-Punjab ma’ taarikh-e-lahore” (actually abhi sirf library se laaya hoon, paRhi nahin hai..)–to it got me thinking ke in Iran it is said (and in our qadeemi lit. as well which is basically an extension of Farsi lit.) ke isfahaan nisf-e-jahaan ast (yaani Isfahan is half of the world)–to I was wondering if anyone here on Gupshup has ever visited Isfahan and what it is like?
Nadeem bhai--just a general description of what it is like--its architecture/plan/people/sites/culture/food...sab kuchh--akhir kyon isse nisf-e-jahaan kehte hain? :)
Isfahan also has many famous ulama and mashaikhs whose mazaars are there i think...
Shaikh Saadi --subhan Allah! Hafiz of course is also in Shiraz...
