Hey everyone! I just returned from an incredible trip to Iran, and I couldn’t wait to share my experience with all of you. Let me tell you, the rumors are true – the people of Iran are some of the friendliest and most welcoming individuals I’ve ever encountered! 🤗 From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Whether I...
Viajamos pelo Irã num carro alugado, de forma totalmente independente, de Shiraz até Teerã, passando por Persépolis, Yazd, Esfahan e muitos outros lugares no caminho. Neste post, contei todos os detalhes de como alugar um carro no Irã, os custos, a gasolina baratíssima, como são as estradas, a sinalização de trânsito, o uso de GPS pelo Google Maps do celular...
The Qajar house is the last generation of Iranian houses, it is the result of several thousand years of architectural experience in each generation and in each period then a functional-decorative element has been added to this collection. Some of them were mostly for the rich, like mirror decorations and painting, some of them were not for the rich and the poor, they...
We never travel with a group, we definitely like to stay free. We like that everyday, during a trip, destination can be changed at last time in case of any opportunity, not written in a guide-book. So we also accept mystery and any disturbing events too, with patience, always confidence in our lucky minds. Nothing better than to visit Iran with one...
Thomas Erdbrink’s four-part series “Our man in Tehran” gave a personal and humorous insight into the daily life of Iran. The country was described as a country where nothing is allowed, but everything is possible. In August 2014 I was able to experience that myself by traveling with the Trans-Asia Express to Tehran. It was a special journey that I...

My wife and I traveled to Iran at the end of 2018 to celebrate my 58th birthday. We have been to Shiraz, Yazd and Isfahan. I have been to more than sixty countries and I can say that Iran is obviously one of the best. First and foremost we were impressed by the friendliness of the local people. It was not the sort of friendliness tourists come across in many places...
For a western citizen, a travel to Iran is a journey into history, that everybody has learned at school. But also is a journey to know people who are pictured by western culture and politics as dangerous. Surely not all Iranian people are good guys, but the experience of my family, during a self-arranged trip from Tehran to Shiraz, Yazd, and Isfahan, is absolutely...
The peak of the caravanserai period in Iran was the Safavid period when Shah Abbas Safavid decided to build 999 caravanserais in Iran. An exact document as to whether or not 999 caravanserais were built is not available, but what is clear is that 54 of these caravanserais remain in Iran today and of these 54, 3 of them have become the share of Kermanshah province...
