Introduction to the Historic City of Yazd: A Desert Feng Shui Case Study What if I told you a 3,000-year-old desert city that regularly sees 45°C summer heat, sandstorms, and earthquakes has never once been abandoned? That’s Yazd, Iran, and its unbelievable longevity isn’t a fluke—it’s a masterclass in feng shui design.
