Capturing Iran: A picture journey with This misinterpreted nation

The middle Eastern country of Iran is misinterpreted by many. Western media portrays this nation as a location full of nuclear weapons, a sinister ruler as well as women dressed from head to toe in black. just like every country, Iran isn’t without its faults. However, any type of misconceptions we may have had were totally shattered the minute we crossed the border from Turkmenistan, into Iran.

We made the decision to travel to Iran to discover about the interesting history as well as culture, satisfy the regional people as well as feast on a cuisine made with intriguing spices as well as ingredients….a decision we’ll never regret!

Oamenii

The people of Iran are extremely kind. On numerous events we were invited to sit as well as talk about life, shown into the houses of total strangers as well as were often provided assist as well as directions. everybody we satisfied was friendly as well as at times, overwhelmingly hospitable!

Mancarea

Iranian cuisine isn’t extremely prominent in the west, which is a shame! The different flavours as well as spices integrate to make unique, must-try meals. Stews as well as grilled meats are typical for primary dishes, while both fresh & dried fruits, nuts as well as pastries are commonly eaten as snacks. Street-food is typical as well, with some tasty bites on offer.

Piețele chiar aici sunt de obicei acoperite cu tavane cu boltă mare. Chiar dacă nu vă gândiți să cumpărați nimic, designul, precum și mediul chiar aici sunt un lucru obligatoriu.

Iranul poate fi o țară pe care nu ați crezut -o niciodată că veți vizita. După ce am făcut backpack chiar aici de peste o lună, putem afirma sincer că este destinația de vis a călătorului, pe care o recomandăm extrem de mult! Mulți oameni se tem să găsească acest pământ îndepărtat din motive politice sau, nu pot fi deranjați cu procesul (uneori) prelungit de viză, ceea ce înseamnă că veți avea țara practic pentru voi.

Notă: În februarie 2014, deținătorii de pașapoarte canadiene, precum și britanici, s -au alăturat rândurilor americanilor, precum și acum trebuie să fie plecați cu un ghid pentru întreaga durată a șederii lor în Iran. Imi pare rau baieti! Vești nefericite …

Cu transport și cazare extravagantă, site -uri istorice, minuni naturale, oameni incredibili, precum și bucătării gustoase … de ce nu ai merge?

Ce crezi despre călătoria în Iran? Credeți că este o locație fără riscuri? arata-ne!

Imi place? Ia! ?
