Quran Gate is the symbol of safety due to Muslim beliefs, as passengers are offered to pass under a copy of the Holy Quran.
Still today among the Iranian families those who are stronger believers are a custom to ask passengers to pass under Quran and wish them a safe journey and healthy return. Quran gate is located at the northern entrance in Shiraz and cars used to drive under the gate to enter or leave for centuries and no more. Quran Gate is the right spot to catch a panoramic view of some parts of the city with two options reaching Khaju Kermani Tomb; just at the side, or to do a bit of hike and reach the mountain on the opposite side.
