A local would say...

The twin minarets are so tall they served as navigation landmarks for desert caravans arriving from 50km away.

Dominating the old city with its 48m-high twin minarets and a 15th-century entrance portal among the tallest in Iran, Yazd's 14th-century Friday mosque is considered the finest in the region. The intricate mosaic dome and elaborately tiled mihrab are stunning examples of Persian Islamic craftsmanship.
