Things not to miss in Iran

Tehran

… The secret parties taking place in apartments by the city of Tehran, in a country where almost everything that is synonymous of party is prohibited.

 

Kashan

… The small town of smiling and kind population, which in addition to palaces, gardens and historic houses, offers a bazaar of beautiful architecture.

Esfahan

… The bridges over the River Zayandeh that even without water still provide a magical atmosphere with the approach of the sunset.

Persepolis

… The ruins of an extinct civilization, that despite the many visitors still mirror the greatness of an empire that is the heart of Persia.

Shiraz

… The atmosphere of Masoleum of Hafez (Aramgah-e Hafez) in a mixture of religious devotion, intellectual respect and artistic mystique that is still given to this poet.

Yazd

… By Dakhme hills (Towers of Silence), where the bodies of Zoroastrianism followers, religion originated in Persia, were left to be eaten by vultures so as not to defile the sacred elements such as fire, water, earth and air.

Bazaars

… The best were the Tabriz by the atmosphere and the Kashan by the architecture of the building and the sidewalk terrace.

Sharing is caring… Stepping Out Of Babylon remains free (and without advertisement). It takes me hundreds of hours to research, organize and write… and thousands of euros to sustain.

As I put all my love, effort and ‘free time’ in this project I would love to continue my journey providing all the information to make your trip easier and cheaper… or just inspire you with nice texts and good photos.

If you find any interest and value in what I do, please consider supporting my work with a donation of your choosing, between a cup of coffee and a good dinner.

With Love!
