Esfahan Travel Blogs

It's a little horrifying to note that nearly all flights into and out of Tehran are around 3am. This however doesnt stop every family member in the country from greeting their arriving relatives.Tehran airport is great. It's like something straight out of a cheesy 70’s cop show.. complete with f…

After spending time in Shiraz, I headed up to Esfahan where I was mesmorized by the beautiful Emam Khomeini Square and the Emam Mosque.

Iran has in general a pretty negative image thanks to its governemnet and the presentation of the country in the Western media, there's not much doubt about that. But how are the real Iranians? What me and my friends experienced on a 2 weeks roundtrip in this country was an overhelming hospitality, welcoming smiles and curiosity for foreign visitors. Bush's axis of evil? Haven't seen that one on the streets of the Iranian cities.

Iran was the thrill of my 2004 summer vacations. All places I visited and people I met will stay in my mind for a long time. This country very rich in cultural history lacks of tourism as it is wonderful to explore and get astonished by its wonderful landscapes and historical sites.
