Ali Ibn Hamzeh Shrine
آستانه علی بن حمزه
A mirror-decorated shrine far quieter than Shah Cheragh, with mirror-glass domes and blue-tiled gateways that are just as exquisite.
The Ali ibn Hamzeh Shrine holds the remains of descendants of the Seventh Imam's family; the present building was rebuilt in the Qajar period. The dome and walls of the inner chamber are likewise covered with mirror fragments, and light through coloured glass makes the interior shimmer. Far fewer visitors come than to Shah Cheragh, so photography is relatively free. Women must wear a chador, which is available at the entrance. It lies about 1 km south of Hafez's tomb, beside the river.
