I have been in Iran twice and I really enjoyed the country. People is very friendly, and Isfahan and Yazd are lovely cities.
First time I visited Iran was in 2001, with Marc, coming from Turkey and going to Turkmenistan.
We visited Tabriz, Zanjan, Gazvin, Teheran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Yazd, Kerman, Bam and Mashad.
While I was in Yazd I get sick and in the hospital they were very kind with me.
Marc and I were invided by a nurse called mahmod to visit his home and his family.
Last year we returned to yazd to visit them. They are our "second family" |

The most beautiful place in esfahan is the Imam square, where you can find the Bazar, Aliqapu palace, Loftollah mosque, and the friday mosque. |

Great photos! Sounds like you enjoyed Iran (even if you ended up in hospital). I'm really looking forward to my first visit. | aliamiri Mon Mar 28, 2005 09:33 UTC
