    August 27, 2024 /

    As soon as travel outside Iran has become unaffordable for many Iranians in the recent years, they still continue travelling but inside Iran. And Bushehr has become one of the most popular destinations of the past few years. But I am absolutely sure that Bushehr can be a brilliant destination not only for Iranians, but also for foreign travelers who want to explore the diversity of regions and cultures of Iran. So, I have prepared the most complete guide to Bushehr, including all the practical information that you may need to plan your trip. Let`s get started! Bushehr is the central city of the Bushehr Province. It`s a port located…

    Complete Travel Guide to Arak

    August 15, 2024 /

    If you are reading this now, I`m sure you haven`t heard about Arak. Or maybe the only thing that you`ve heard about it (probably from Iranians) was that it is an industrial city infamous for its highly polluted air. Well, I am here to change this idea. Arak is a city with a good tourist potential and unfortunately, it has been overseen by most tourists. So, let`s see what it has in store for travelers! The present-day city of Arak was founded not that long ago – at the beginning of the 19th century, and was named Soltanabad. And maybe thanks to that it has preserved the historical center so…

    Travelling Iran: What to See in Yazd

    August 7, 2018 /

    Yazd had been my favorite destination in Iran (until I discovered Qeshm island), and I always recommend it to everyone who travels to Iran. Located on the edge of a desert, it impresses travelers with its unique mud-brick architecture, very different from Isfahan, Shiraz or Tehran. I have been to Yazd two times and would love to visit it again because every time I discover more and more (and of course, I don`t mind adding a couple of bowls or other Yazd ceramics to my collection). However, traveling to the city of wind-catchers is not only about visiting Yazd itself – there are plenty of religious, historical and natural sights scattered all…

    Complete Travel Guide to Qazvin

    November 27, 2016 /

    Qazvin is a city of ornaments and gorgeous tiles, “a city in the middle of a garden” (that`s how Nasreddin-Shah described it to his European counterparts in the 19th century). Finally, Qazvin is the gate to amazing Alamut valley with its impressive castle. Unfortunately, Qazvin is often missed out by tourists, while it can be an amazing stop on the route to Rasht, Zanjan or Tabriz. I have prepared a travel guide for you where I am going to write about the vibe of the city, its people, main tourist attractions, share some useful tips and my own experience of traveling to Qazvin. Hope you enjoy! I have gathered all the…
