Most of the people of Kermanshah are Shia and like the other cities in Iran, there are one or two synagogues, three or four churches, and a mosque that is for Sunnis. The mosque that belongs to the Sunnis is called “Shafeiie’ Mosque”. This Mosque is one of the most beautiful and magnificent mosques in Iran, which has become a historical masterpiece...
In april 2019 I traveled to Iran as I had heard from friends that this country must be wonderful with a lot of culture and friendly people everywhere. Since some years I’m a woman solo traveler but I must say that – from the very beginning – I felt comfortable and very safe. I met lots of people offering help without pushing me but just glad to make...
It all began one year ago when, as a result of a series of casualties, I met my Iranian boyfriend. We end up working together in a cosmetic shop in Rome by the summer of 2018 and it turns out that we already had common friends and we both live in Milan, but for some strange reason we haven’t met before; I’m convinced that things just happen in the right time when...

ESKANDAR (ALEXANDERS) GEVANGENIS – IRAN REIZEN YAZD Deze 15e-eeuwse koepelschool staat in een gedicht van Hafez bekend als de Alexandergevangenis vanwege de verwijzing naar deze zogenaamd verraderlijke plek. Het lijkt twijfelachtig of de diepe fontein in het midden van zijn hof wel door Alexander de Grote is gebouwd en als kerker is gebruikt. De koepel van de...
Een land als 1001 nachten De beste manier om mijn reis naar Iran te beschrijven is als volgt: “En als je denkt dat je zonder vooroordelen reist, zul je jezelf keer op keer in Iran bevinden als de wereld die niet lijkt te werken met de patronen die je kent. Je reist met lades, je reist met sjablonen – zelfs als je dat heftig negeert. Iran is anders dan alles...
Divers, leuk en iets heel bijzonders!
