Enjoy heights, heritage of Abbasabad Complex in Hamedan
There is a notable tourist attraction in Abbasabad, Hamedan, which is considered a destination in itself. Located on a hill in southern Hamedan, the Abbasabad Tourist Complex is also known by several other names, including Abbasabad Pool, Abbasabad Hill, Naghareh Khaneh Hill, Akhar-e Asphalt, and Baam-e Hamedan (Roof of Hamedan). Historically, this hill was a site of significant announcements, such as changes in rule, conveyed to the public via drums called Naghareh, which earned it the name Naghareh Khaneh Hill.
The Abbasabad Tourist Complex was opened in 2015. The route leading to the hill and the site is exceptionally scenic, passing through charming alley-gardens that enhance its appeal, visitiran.ir wrote.
One of the most captivating features along this route is the artificial waterfall situated to the east of the complex, standing 60 meters tall and creating a mesmerizing landscape. Stairs encircle the waterfall, adding to its attractiveness — climbing these stairs offers a panoramic view of the city beneath. The resort is an ideal spot for entertainment, especially for visitors who enjoy overlooking Hamedan from a height. From one side, it offers a view of Hamedan, while on the other, you can see the lush Abbasabad gardens, Mishan Plain, and Alvand Mountain, providing breathtaking scenery.
Facilities at the tourist attraction include an open-air cinema, a skate sport park, a restaurant, a mosque, and parking area. Adjacent to the pool, visitors will find a store, café, and electric entertainment devices. Additionally, there are ten two-bedroom duplex villas nearby, available for tourists seeking accommodation.
Most visitors prefer traveling to this site during summer evenings, when the sunset paints a spectacular view from the city’s roof. In winter, the place offers a unique experience of walking on ice. As a result, the complex functions year-round, presenting different aspects in each season. However, visitors should be mindful of the mountainous climate, which can pose challenges during winter.
Nearby, you can visit the Ganjnameh Resort, which includes attractions such as the Ganjnameh Telecabin, an aquarium, and the famous Ganjnameh Waterfall with its ancient inscriptions. Mishan Valley and Alvand Mountain are also close natural attractions well worth exploring. Two other essential sites are the Tomb of Baba Taher and the Tomb of Avicenna—must-visits to deepen your understanding of Iran’s cultural and literary heritage.
To reach Abbasabad from anywhere, you need to travel to Hamedan. From there, two main roads lead to the site: one starting at Eram Garden and the other from Ganjnameh Road.
