Neyshabur

And David's lips are lockt; but in divine
High-piping Pehleví, with Wine! Wine! Wine!
Red Wine! the Nightingale cries to the Rose
That sallow cheek of hers to incarnadine.

Tomb of Omar Khayyâm, Neyshabur, Iran. The architecture of his shrine is like a tent because his ancestors' occupation was tentmaking. Some of his poems have been written on the walls surrounding the shrine.

Paul of Tarsus : according to Acts 18:3, he worked as a tentmaker.
