Tehran Shopping Tips by call_me_rhia

Name of Shop: issatiss mall

We found Issatiss mall to be a most beautiful mall, especially for its decor and architecture. Outside it's all covered in mosaic-like blue tiles, while inside it's full of chandeliers and fancy shops.

What To Buy: The best thing to buy is fancy clothes - you can find all sorts of top designer brands, there. I was not really looking for anything, except a last-minute present for a friend - so I forgot to check the prices... but i guess they would have been cheaper than in Europe. There's a small shop selling stationery inside, and it's a good place to pick up the last decorated plates and vases (Isfahan style) before flying home.

Name of Shop: no idea - it was written in farsi

Just down the road from Issatiss Mall, in northern Tehran, there's a little shop selling interesting local sweets and even more interesting nuts... all types of nuts, actually.

What To Buy: We bough some pistachios - in particular our favourite - which are the lemon-flavoured ones. But there were really all sorts of nuts on sale - even mixed ones, in case you could not pick a particular sort.

What To Pay: very little
