Rishtan Tours

Rishtan tours offer a unique experience in the city of ceramics, renowned worldwide for its red clay pottery and “ishkor” glaze. Here, hereditary artisans craft one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces entirely by hand, ensuring that no two plates or lagans are ever the same. Visitors have the opportunity to witness the full process of ceramic creation and even participate in pottery workshops.

In addition to its rich ceramic tradition, Rishtan is home to historical and architectural landmarks that add depth to your visit. The old part of the city features ruins of an ancient settlement, while the new area offers hands-on experiences in traditional crafts. Tours to Rishtan are not only fascinating for adults but also engaging for children, making it an ideal family-friendly destination.
