Bagh-e Jahan Nama, also known as Jahan Nama Garden, is one of Shiraz's oldest and most charming Persian gardens. Located on Hafez Street, near the tomb of the poet Hafez, this garden offers a serene escape from the city bustle. The garden is laid out in a classic Persian style, with symmetrical pathways, flowing water channels, and a central octagonal pavilion (kolah farangi) that serves as a focal point. Towering cypress and pine trees provide shade, while seasonal flowers add color. Visitors can stroll along the gravel paths, sit by the fountains, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The pavilion, dating from the Qajar era, sometimes hosts small exhibitions. The garden's proximity to other cultural sites makes it a perfect stop for a quiet afternoon. It is less crowded than Shiraz's larger gardens, offering a more intimate experience.
