Chehel Hojreh is a historic building complex adjacent to the Imam Reza shrine, named for its forty chambers (chehel hojreh). Originally a caravanserai and marketplace, it now houses a mix of shops and workshops. Visitors can explore the covered alleyways, observe artisans crafting jewelry and woodwork, and purchase religious souvenirs. The complex's traditional architecture, with wooden balconies and courtyards, provides a charming contrast to the modern shrine expansions.
