View of the bridge.

Joui Bridge ( Persian: پل جویی Pol-e Joui ), also called the Choobi Bridge, is a bridge in Isfahan, Iran. It is one of Isfahan's oldest bridges and was built in 1665, during the Safavid era.

The Joui Bridge is located between Khaju and Ferdowsi bridges. It is 147 meters long and 4 meters wide, with 21 arches. It was built during the reign of Shah Abbas II to irrigate and inter-relate the kings gardens on both sides of the river. The bridge and the two parlours within were for the exclusive use of the shah and his courtiers. Nowadays the parlours are being used as tea houses.
