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...
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.

Iranian society is for sure complex and mysterious but people are very generous and...

The ancient city of Meybod with a history of 6000 years is located 45 kilometers northwest of Yazd. It’s the second-largest city in the province with a population of 100.000. As it’s located in the desert it has never been badly invaded or attacked by enemies. So it has kept its authenticity and charm during centuries. Here we’d like to introduce some of the most...
Many people travel to get familiar with the culture of the country or the city of destination. One of the most important components of each culture is food and gastronomy. You may not remember a country with its castles and museums but with its foods. Foods are very distinctive elements among cultures and nations. We know Chinese with steamed foods and Indians with...
