It is a historic and botanical garden and even though a lot of research has been done on the garden it still is not clear when it was exactly built. As the 19th century mansion, it is still used for educational purposes due to its vast diversity of plants and vegetation. Vegetation diversity in the Eram Garden is very high and there are plants from many parts of the world; which make the garden a fair of flowers and plants, with a variety of ornamental flowers and herbs.

In evening, we visited Holy Shrine of 10-Shah-e-Cheragh. Shah-e-Cheragh is the most important place of pilgrimage within the city of Shiraz. The tombs became celebrated pilgrimage centres in the 14th century when Queen Tashi Khatun erected a mosque and theological school in the vicinity. Ahmad (Shah-e-Cheragh) came to Shiraz at the beginning of the third Islamic century (approximately 900 AD), and died there.
