Where else can you buy
genuine silk Persian carpets but in Iran, or find a 17th century Royal
Mosque located in the beautiful town of Isfahan. Culture and history form
a major part of Iran with sights such as the Tomb of Imam Reza Ali, in
Meshed, and the tomb of Chelibi Oghlu, in the village of Sultaniyeh.
History can be traced as far back to the Achaemenian Dynasty, followed by
the Parthian Dynasty, the Sassanid Empire, the Islamic Caliphate, the
Safavid Dynasty, the Qajar Dynasty, the Pahlavi Dynasty, and the now
existing Islamic Republic.
Beautiful mountain
ranges of interest are Elburz, and Zagros with the highest peak being
Qolleh-ye Damavand. For those who might enjoy Iran's cultural life visit
Tehran, Mashhad, Esfahan, Tabriz, and Shiraz.
