Rey Shah’abbasi Caravanserai is a classic Iranian brick caravanserai where massive vaulted bays and an inner courtyard create strong symmetry and repeating arches. Photograph the façades at golden hour, then shift inside for shadow-rich corridors. Best light: late afternoon (warm exterior) and early morning (cooler interior). Weekdays are quieter. Access via Rey (Tehran). Iran’s general entry rules apply; carry a local SIM and cash for small fees; parking is typically limited—arrive early.
