The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, famously known as the Pink Mosque, is a spectacular architectural wonder in Shiraz, celebrated for its dazzling stained-glass windows that create a kaleidoscope of light and color when illuminated by the morning sun, especially vibrant from late autumn through early spring. While generally accessible, visitors should be prepared for some steps and uneven surfaces typical of historic sites; comfortable shoes are recommended. It can be easily visited solo for photography and quiet contemplation, but a local guide can offer invaluable historical and cultural context. The optimal time for a visit is early morning, ideally before 9-10 AM, to experience the full effect of the light and avoid crowds. A typical visit duration ranges from 1 to 2 hours, and there is a modest entrance fee, usually a few dollars equivalent for international tourists. Visitors should dress modestly as it is an active place of worship.
