Holy shine in shiraz
"Shahcheragh Holy Shrine maybe. When you go there as a tourist, there is a security control. They make you leave your luggage and camera in a locker room for free, then they provide you with an english speaking guide for free that leads you inside the mosque complex.
tourists are not allowed to enter the 2 shrines inside the complex, but you can enjoy the rest of the complex and ask as many questions you like to your guide. they are volunteers and really welcoming and nice (obviously, they are iranian).
we went there on friday during the midday prayer and it was awesome.
you can take photos with your smartphone with no problem, the guide tells you to do so, but no professonal DSLR cameras are allowed

the entrance is through a covered passage n the south part of the bazar
do not be afraid to approach the security control point.
you will see military men, but they are kind and try to explain what you need to do to get in (they do not speak english and may seem confusing for the first 2 minutes)
men and women enter through different gates at the same point, and have to be checked (airport-like)
after the control you are given a chadoor and can rejoin your male/female partner.
