Panj Badgir Ab Anbar (cistern)

The Panj Badgir cistern shows how islanders supplied water and coped with heat before desalination and piped water. The name comes from the five wind-catchers built above the reservoir to draw air in and keep it cool.

A visit is usually only a few minutes, so it works best as part of a half-day history loop with Harireh and the Kariz. At about six and a half kilometres from the centre it is an easy short taxi or car hop.
