The Tomb of Hakim Nezari stands in the old fabric of Birjand, in South Khorasan Province, and is regarded as one of the region's most notable cultural and historical attractions. The site commemorates Sa'd al-Din ibn Shams al-Din Nezari Quhistani, known as "Hakim Nezari", a poet and jurist of the 7th century AH. It was added to Iran's National Heritage List on 24 Khordad 1396 under registration number 30163.

The design of the Tomb of Hakim Nezari follows the principles of traditional Iranian architecture and Islamic elements, combining aesthetic beauty with the simplicity of Iranian architecture. Together with its setting in the city's historic quarter, these features greatly enhance its cultural and historical value. Culturally, Nezari Quhistani is known as an "eclectic poet", and his poetry influenced the development of the Persian ghazal.

To visit, simply go to Hakim Nezari Street in Birjand; the tomb is at the start of the street, beside Shohada Square. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the weather is milder and cultural sightseeing is more comfortable. While visiting, it is very important to practise responsible tourism: do not leave litter, do not damage the building, and respect the spiritual atmosphere of the site.
