Celebrated as the heartland of Persian culture for over 2000 years, Shiraz has become synonymous with education, nightingales, poetry and crafts skills passed down from generation to generation. It was one of the most important cities in the medieval Islamic world and was the Iranian capital during the Zand dynasty (1751–1794).
Iran’s handicrafts exports reached $289 million in the past Iranian calendar year 1397 (March 2018-March 2019), showing three percent growth year on year, based on data released by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts.
