The trip to Iran is a magnificent discovery for all lovers of space and poetry who wish to drink from the source of great civilizations. Like labyrinthine mazes where you will find carpets, tea, samovars, and jewels, the bazaars extend into the center of Iranian cities. Among the oldest, the one in Tabriz, located on the Silk Road, is a small culinary paradise at the crossroads of Iranian and Azeri cultures. In the capital, Tehran, visit the glorious example of Persian architecture at the Golestan Palace. In the heart of one of the world's most significant archaeological sites, discover the stately remains of Persepolis, the capital of the first Persian Empire. The Palace and its large terrace, built in the 1st century BC, remain an exceptional architectural complex not to be missed. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Iranian seaside resorts on the island of Kish or the shores of the Caspian Sea. In the Maranjab desert, you can pet-free camels and spend the night in a caravanserai, typical of the Orient, where caravans stop. Discover a rare natural masterpiece on the island of Qeshm, the only geopark in the Middle East. Take the valley of the stars and meander between the columns of rocks colored by erosion. As you leave this sumptuous desert, rest in Laft, a charming fishing village rich in traditions, and discover the astounding Iranian hospitality. Travel through mountainous Iran on the Elburz Range and its highest point, Mount Damavand, a high of 5500 m. ◄
