Cypress of Abarkuh

One of the oldest trees in the world. Surreal

before visiting this beautiful historic city I had no idea about Abarkooh . On my way from Shiraz to Yazd I had a chance to stop by and visit the Ancient Cedar which really had a positive ambiance , nice pomegranate gardens nearby & historical maze shape alleys & houses . If you go there , do not miss the traditional restaurants in the surroundings with their local delicious stews .

Cypress is a sacred holy tree in Iranian culture and literature. It's symbolic for immortality and long life. This tree is considered as one of the oldest trees in the country and there are few myths and stories about it . Some people believe it was the holy tree mentioned in the Zoroastrian holy book or some believe it was planted by son of Noah.

Besides all this there is a great cafe next to it where you can enjoy a drink and relax with this old lovely creature

I like this tree a lot.
This is the second oldest alive planet in the world which is located in Abarkooh city about 150 kolometers far from Yazd city.They estimated the age of this tree about 4500 years old with 25 meters hight and about 11.5 meters at its trunk and 18 meters higher up around its branches.
Some people believe that it was a tree that Zoroater planted it.

The Cypress of Abarkuh (Persian: سرو ابرکوه‎ Sarv-e Abarkuh), also called the Zoroastrian Sarv, is a Cupressus sempervirens tree in Abarkuh in Yazd Province of Iran. It is protected by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran as a national natural monument and is indeed a major tourist attraction with a height of 25 metres and with a perimeter of 11.5 meters at its trunk and 18 meters higher up around its branches. It is estimated to be over four millennia old and is likely the second-oldest living thing in Asia.[1]or the oldest as said by Russian scientist Alexander Rouf

If the tree could talk....
A powerful and old tree stand on its root

This cypress is said to be the oldest living creature in the world. Its age is estimated to be more than 4000 years.

Rhos tree is one of the oldest creatures in the whole world!

Just Compare this 7000-8000(according to new scientists sayings) Years Old tree with other ones!
And at the age of hakhamaneshian, this cypress was 1500 old!
United States is only 200 years old.
This Iranian Cypress is a sign of Beauty and elegance. We Salute this Cypress Tree for its age.
This cypress is our country's symbol as kangaroo is Australia's and kiwi is new new Zealand's.

Just stand here and admire the tree's beauty. It's 4500 years old. But it still looks green and beautiful. It's a sacred tree for the Zoroastrians.
You have to stay here for hours and watch it.
P.S. There is another cedar tree located in Mehriz. It's name is Mongabad cedar. And it's sacred, too.

The tree is very fresh and good protected. If you ate tourist, you should pay 100,000 rials to visit but it is 10,000 rials for Iranian. Bit both is ok because it would be for protection of the tree. Some restaurant and Ecologe are around this tree and you can rest or eat something there.

The oldest tree in World with 8000 years age

That tree is big, beautiful, wonderful and unique. Beautiful and good environment with a cafe shop "Art Cafe" which is memorable.

There is a Fairytale about this City thay it says:
The king had a beautiful girl and laid it down and said: "I give my daughter to someone who can cross the pool full of my alligator!"Many of the participants abandoned, and many were killed in this way. There was only one young man claiming that he came from a city where his people were not afraid of any power, and the young man dared courageously. The fighters fought and came out of the water. The king was startled and wanted to hand his daughter to the young man! He took his hand and said to the king: "Your daughter is for yourself." I just came to prove that I am a kid of the Great City Abarkouh." The king of tears closed his eyes and said with a slap: "Now, Please Bring me to your civilized city"
