Mashhad is the second most populous city in Iran and capital of Razavi Khorasan Province. It is a city in northeast Iran, known as a place of religious pilgrimage. It's centered on the vast Holy Shrine of Imam Reza, with golden domes and minarets that are floodlit at night. Mashhad metropolis has an international influence and due to its neighbors with Islamic countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan) is the largest center for religious tourism attraction and immigrants in the northeastern and northeast of Iran.
