The Iranian city of Tabriz has been covered in a snow blanket during the first days of the 2016-2017 winter season.

People of the city have gone outside to enjoy snow recreations and witness the snow falls celebrating end of the year and beginning of a new one.

Tabriz is an ancient city with a history going back about 4,500 years. Archaeologists have found evidence for this in digs near the Blue Mosque.

Lying in a valley at the foot of the Sahand Mountains, Tabriz, capital of East Azerbaijan Province, used to be the second largest city in Iran with many historical monuments and recreational spots. The city has a continental climate with low humidity.

Holiday parks in Tabriz with family-friendly atmosphere are equipped to please a wide range of people for a minimal cost and most have attractive landscaped settings as well as easy access to countless local attractions.
