The city’s mayor, Massoud Hosseini, expressed gratitude to the Hamedan City Council and the Municipal Tourism Headquarters to introduce the city’s tourism potential to the world.
Hamedan, home to the Ali Sadr Cave, Abu Ali Sina Mausoleum, Ganjnameh Ancient Inscriptions, and Alaviyan Dome, is known as a treasure trove of tourism in Iran.
