Shiraz has a reputation as an enlightened city that has been at the centre of Persian culture for more than 2,000 years, and was at one time the country's capital. It was the hometown of the most famous Iranian poet Hafez, and each year huge numbers of Iranians still make a pilgrimage to Shiraz to visit his mausoleum. Shiraz is also...

There was no reason for me to go to Bandar Abbas. Neither was there a reason for my decision to book a one-way flight to the port city on the Persian Gulf, directly across from the Dubai peninsula. The reactions of Iranians to my wanting to go there ranges from disbelief ("Why would any tourist want to go there?") to active discouragement ("Even...

Hommikul bukime järgmiseks päevaks tuuri Persepolisesse koos lisadega. Saame päevaks kaasa bukleti, et valida ülehomseks välja üks loodusematk. Käime kindluses Arg-e Karim Khani, kus tehakse hoolega remonti. Üks torn on viltu, ja mitte vähe. Vaatame kaks mosheed, Valiki ehk valitseja moshee ja Nasir-ol-Molk moshee. Mõlemas sunnitakse mind ennast...
