Razavi Khorasan contains some of Iran's most significant historical and engineering milestones. This selection includes the UNESCO-listed Qasabe Qanat, one of the world's oldest underground water systems, and the 12th-century Khosrogerd Minaret. Architectural highlights feature modernist mausoleums designed by Hooshang Seyhoun for Omar Khayyam and Nader Shah, alongside the intricate tilework of Kamal-ol-Molk’s tomb. Natural sites like the Akhlamad waterfalls and the Chalidareh Dam complex offer contrast to the region's ancient archaeological ruins and Safavid-era caravanserais.
