Hi all:

These are all pictures of Tehran the capital of Iran a huge city with a metro population of 14M.

Here you can see the other side of Iran that western media does not want u to see. It's nothing like the news or whatever the crappy Bush makes it look in front of the world.
It's a very nice city with great hospitable people and architecture.

>>>>>It is also a very safe place for all people and tourists.

*******women in Iran are required by the government to wear head scarves and an overcoat, which really sucks and if you are a female visitor going to Iran you need to cover your hair with a scarf. But it's not as bad as it seems and in some ways it can be stylish.


*******Also this is not a political thread and I kindly ask you not to post any politics related posts here please.

******Tehran is more modern than historic. Iran is filled with amazing historic attractions but they are mostly in other cities, such as Shiraz & Isfahan. You may visit the Iran forum to see some of those sights.

>>>>>>>>One of the major concers of most people is that if Iran is a safe place to visit and if Iranians are friendly people and they are afraid that they may dislike western countries but the total opposite is true. Persian hospitality is one of the most important traits of Iranians and you can find many articles online about it.

Comments: Iran: Wonderful country with large variety in climate and nature; Woods, mountains, desserts, lakes and seas. I have enjoyed looking around a lot while traveling, hiking and sightseeng. Iranians: Wonderful, gentle, helpful and generous people. I believe there is no people like the Iranians; there is a lot that many can learn on that behalf. Vacation: I was quite unaware what Iran was all about before deciding to go. I did do some reading to familiar myself to know what to expect. That actually led me to quite some expectations. So far my expectations have been endlessly surpassed.

Comments: People in France think that Iran is a dangerous country to go to, mainly because of the international context. Unfortunately they don't have the opportunity to talk to real Iranian people living in this country. We discovered very friendly people in the touristy areas, people willing to improve their language skills or to chat with foreigners about their own customs. Discussions were always of high interest to us because it enabled us to know better local habits. We've also had the chance to get invited for some diners and tasted Iranian food out of the restaurants. it's great value and we really enjoyed it. Persian culture is very ancient and it would be nice for people abroad to be able to discover it and be aware that Iranians are no fundamentalists but open-minded persons. And I hope you will always remain as curious about foreigners as today ! Anne-Valerie and Matthias

Comments: Iran is a beautiful country with many monuments and traditions to show. But, as we visit Iran, we realize that the best thing are Iranians, because they are very open people, with a great will to know other people from abroad and share their traditions, language, and points of view. We really enjoy our stay in Iran.

Comments: Together with my fiancé, I am traveling through Iran. We are not with a group, just the two of us. Therefore, we are very dependent of the help and hospitality of the Iranian people to show and help us around. Our experience is that the Iranian people are extremely helpful. Even if we do not ask them directeley, if they see us looking around, they come to us and ask if they can help. This is our experience with all the people, no matter grade of education or age. Another feature we have noticed is the curiosity of the Iranian people. They ask a lot of questions, want to know a lot about our country, our lives and habits in Europe. They combine this with their wish to practice their foreign languages which leads to nice conversations. Sometimes however, they are SO helpful, that they give an answer, even if they don't know. We are enjoying our stay very much!

You can see pictures of daily life in Tehran in this thread and I'll post some more soon.

There are lots of pictures on each page so please be patient.
Thanks to everyone for taking these pictures.
Enjoy :cheers:

Persian women are beautiful .

I thought they had to wear paranja in Iran .

Tehran looks great, a vibrant city.

I am sorry but those photos don't give an idea, or a good idea about how Tehran is. Although I understand what you have on your mind but it would better to see more cityscapes then people photos...

Nice photos, more please. ;)

Yes Shugs.
I live in Toronto, where are u at?
Thanks for the forum it's amazing.
Keep in touch :)

Good pictures of Tehran, Iran one of the truly great cities of the Middle East & Western Asia!

Iran looks good. Had it not been for the Iraq war and confrontation with the west , it would have been better than what it is. If Iran could realize its full potential it could have become another developed country of Asia , like Japan.

Yes Shugs.

Thanks for the forum it's amazing.

I'm in south west England... not many Iranians around this part of the world lol

You really should post in the Iran subforum, we have a lack of active forumers right now, theres about 10 of us... and you know Iranian hospitality... we welcome you with open arms :lol:

Tehran is so beautiful.

In a Turkish TV program Mustafa Denizli said that Tehran is so beautiful, colorful and funny that my every guests admire it immediately.

I've heard that Iran is the most Amercian style country in Arabic world,they like Amercian music and culture,the number of Iranic personal blog is the second in the world.

^^ Thats kind of hard when we arent part of the 'Arabic world'... we are not Arab nor do we speak Arabic :sleepy:

Irans ethnic population structure on has 3% Arabs and they are all in the south towards Iraq. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0107640.html. Largest ethnicity are Persians. Iranians are 'Proto Indo European' NOT Arab

IF your talking about the Middle East then I think Israel has one up on us... but Iran is probably one of

Great pics

well done thanks. :) hopefully people will realise that we arent some kind of Islamic naties who believe in a dude in a pit.

Iran is not an Arabic country and what is good with being most American?

Awesome pics man . thanx

Fucking ignorants think all musllims are arabs .

The majority of Muslims are non-Arabs (Indonesia, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, some African nations and so on).

^^^
I think it has more to do with the script and the Holy Quran which was written in Arabic. That's maybe the reason why people start to think everyone with a headscarf is Arabic.
Tehran is indeed a very nice place!!! Great pictures man, I love Iran.

Here are some photos of Tehran:

The Azadi Tower is the symbol of Tehran, Iran, and marks the entrance to this large metropolitan city.

Built in 1971 in commemoration of the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire, this large monument was named the Shahyad Tower (meaning "Remembrance of the Shahs (Kings)") but dubbed Azadi (Freedom) after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. It is 50 metres (148 feet) tall and is completely clad in cut marble.

The architect is Hossein Amanat who had won a competition to design the monument. Azadi Tower combines the Sassanid and Islamic architecture styles. It is a part of the Azadi cultural complex, located in Tehran's Azadi square in an area of some 50,000 m². There is a museum and several fountains underneath the tower.

It is thought that the Milad Tower, (in Tehran) will replace this long-time symbol of Tehran, although many observers have doubted this claim.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azadi_Tower

"By evidence, the history of architecture and urban planning in Iran (Persia) dates back some 10 thousand years ago. Persians were among the first to use mathematics, geometry, and astronomy in architecture. Teppe Sialk, an important ziggurat near Kashan, built 7000 years ago, represents one such prehistoric site in Persia whose inhabitants were the initiators of a simple and rudimentary housing technique."

Very nice story , but whats inside of that thing? Looks like it has windows on the top.

Hi all:
these are some more pictures. the big monument that you see in the square as darius mentioned is the Azadi monument an is just next to the international airport so when you visit Iran that is the first thing you will see when you come out of the airport. Thanks to Mr. Iranshah7 as well.
Enjoy :cheers:

Inside the Azadi (Freedom) monument you will find a cultural centre with a library, a museum and art galleries that display works by contemporary artists.

Very nice story , but whats inside of that thing? Looks like it has windows on the top.

Sorry Opium. It's funny although I lived in Tehran for 12 years I never went up there and have no idea that what is up there. Does anybody know if it is an observation deck or not?
Thanks

The subway stations in Tehran are very chic and modern.

Thanx for the pix

Tehran is beautiful indeed, very charming

For some reason many of the pix posted here are from Kish and not Tehran, besides many of the photos are old have poor quality.

Thank you Dariush. Those pics are great.

.........

They are not from Kish. Have you not been to Tehran.


Actually many of them are. :sleepy:

The title of the thread is Tehran/ IRAN....so if he posted photos of Kish that is ok.

For those of you who do not know, Kish is a beautiful and sunny Iranian island in the PERSIAN GULF, that is great for shopping and vacations.

( I think we should make a new thread about Kish here) :)

Hi all:
This is Kish Island of Iran. A very beautiful place in Persian Gulf. This place is a must see and the main vacation spot for all the Persians and majority of tourists that visit Iran. It is only 1 hour 20 minutes flight from Tehran. In this Island there are lots of luxurious beautiful hotels and resorts and world class shopping malls, architecture and amenities. Also they have some historic parts in the island too. Kish is always under construction making place for greater things to come in it. I should warn you taht it can be very humid and hot in summer time but it's one of the most fascinating places that I have ever been too and if you ever go to iran you should visit this place.
Enjoy :cheers:

Iran is such a wonderful, beautiful country with such an incredibly rich culture and history.
The tragedy of it all is that it is ruled by an awful government and it's ideology is a terrible perversion of Islam.
Also, very sadly people in the West have a one dimensional and negative image of this country as a result of politics.
I hope one day Iran will be truly open to the outside world and tourists will be able to discover the treasures of this great country.

Thank you for the images of this great country.

First of all, I'd like to inform you that Bush has no control over the american media. Unlike in other countries were goveremnt control is absolute. I don't recall Tehran ever being presented as "crappy". Quite frankly, I've never seen the city of Tehran cast in a bad light. I've always known it to be a beautiful city, as the pictures prove. Nice to live in the west huh? :)

Tehran looks lovely...many Iranians study at our engineering schools in Lahore...and they have many stories about this city...I would love to see it one day...

Iran is a gem in mideast.

Very nice story , but whats inside of that thing? Looks like it has windows on the top.

Inside azadi tower there is cinema, museum, Art gallery, Restaurant and some other things I don't remember.

Kish Island is beautiful. Thanx for the photos.

The Darius Grand Hotel is considered a "7 Star" and there is a new 7 star hotel currently being built on Kish Island. The snorkelling and scuba diving around Kish are also world class because Kish is surrounded by corals and unique marine life. The beaches are really nice too, soft white sand and clear warm ocean.

There are two other "seven stars" under construction in Shiraz (i hate the seven star thing i think its all fake)

Hi all:
These are some more Tehran pictures. Again thanks to Mr. Razavi.
Enjoy :cheers:

Very nice pics.

Thats kind of hard when we arent part of the 'Arabic world'... we are not Arab nor do we speak Arabic
I'm sorry I don't know much about middle east.Actually I mean Islamic world in middle east.

^^ That's ok dude , not many people in the west can distinguish between iranians and arabs !

Very nice pics! :) Tehran is indeed a very beautiful city, one of my favourite in the middle east.

nukes, democracy? we need to go liberate the Iranian women. ;)

-

Kish Island is beautiful. Thanx for the photos.

The Darius Grand Hotel is considered a "7 Star"...

Sorry to dissapoint but the Dariush Grand Hotel is not considered a '7 star' But the Flower of the East Hotel and the Kish Lotus hotel are both going to be '7 star'

http://www.dariushgrandhotel.com/ under the 'Hotel Information' section it states: "Dariush, the world class 5 star hotel..." :)

I recomend you look on the Iran subforum for more pics, simply follow the links in my sig :)

I read somewhere that it was a "7 star". Anyways, whatever it is, I think it is one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. It really is amazing and VERY expensive.

Alitezar, thanx for all your amazing pix of Tehran. I love Tehran in the winter....the snow makes everything look so different. It looks like it snows more in northern Iran and Tehran than it does in most North American or even European cities. I guess it is because of the very high altitude and the Alborz mountains.

You are very welcome Dariush and thanks for your posts and information too.
By the way where do u live?

Its gonna look much different once bush decides to invade, unless that maniacal anti-sematic prez. decides to chill on building nukes.

Can anyone who lives In Tehran take some more pictures if they have time and post it here?

Noone is going to invade Iran . US couldnt possibly afford another invasion .

please please please dont turn this in a nother IRan vs the world thread,,,,

Trust me Iran is nothing Like Iraq or Afghanistan. If U.S invades Iran U.S troops will die left and right since Persians are very patriotic and well equiped. so they better think about something logical rather than invading innocent people because of Iran's stupid government and idiot bush's taking over the middle east oil plan in name of terrorism.

Don't ruin the thread with politics. :sleepy:

Btw, You do know that only 50% of Iranians are Persians right? :)

All those [IMG] beside the pics are annoying. :)

All those [IMG] beside the pics are annoying. :)

Yes, sorry but I have to practice more in posting them hopefully next ones would not have it.

Some of the guys shown here really look similar to the "Prince of Persia" (game)

Anyway, I dont think only 3% of Irans population is arabic. Maybe 3% is PURE arabic. But a lot of irans persian population has ended up mixing with the arab invaders!!! This thread focuses on the PERSIAN population, which is whiter and look more european (most could very easily be mistaken by italians, spaniards, even french, while that DOESNT HAPPEN with arabs. It seems that the white persians are also the higher society of Iran. Is that right? The arabs are the lower society. And probably its the lower society arabs who mostly support the authoritarian government???

That brings to question: if Iran is so modern and cosmopolitan as these pics show, FROM WHERE DO THE GOVERNMENT TAKES ITS SUPPORT?? From smaller backwards cities? I mean... why doesnt iranian people revolt and just kick the ass of the government and install a true democracy and a system where government and religion are separate things??? Like in Turkey for example?

What are iranian views on the impending war with US? Do you really believe your government is developing atom energy for pacific uses? What do you think of the international community pressures to allow inspectors in the facilities?

You know, if it was truly for pacific uses, you WOULD allow the inspectors. Like Brasil did. This government is going to destroy Iran. You must overthrow it before the stupid americans bomb the hell out of you and destroy gorgeous Tehran!

Aceshigh please dont talk about politics edit your thread and write this stuff on the Iranian page (we have a discussion forum for that stuff in the IRanian forum in the middle east forum) Please edit this ici ok?

lol...Ace...man that is the most pathatic post you have made. Arabs are lower part of society and the whiter persians are higher society? I guess your ancestors were slave traders back in the days. You must be from Europe. This type of nonsense usually comes from Europe.

well, so why only the PERSIANS showed in those pics? There are few or none arabs in those pics.
I am not saying such thing is GOOD, so there is no reason to think I am racist or my ancestors were slave traders.

^^ That's ok dude , not many people in the west can distinguish between iranians and arabs !

or between Slovenia and Slovakia ;)

Austria and Australia! :)

The pictures that I posted are from regular people in Tehran streets and god knows if they are 100% Persian or Arab or whatever. Just for your info I should say that Arab people mostly live in Southern and south west part of Iran and this thread is about Tehran mostly. So if I had the pictures of southern cities posted here you'll for sure know that there are also Arab origin people there but in Tehran there is a mix of people from all over Iran.

ok then. I guess I was focusing on the entire Iran instead of only Iran.

Hi all:
these pictures are from the king and queen of Iran before the revolution occurs at 1978. Iran had kings and queens for 2500 years but it all ended with the revolution in 1978. These pics are old and are from that time so the quality is not that great. Iran's king name was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the queen's name is Farah Diba. King of Iran passed away awhile after the revolution due to sickness but his wife is living in Washington D.C with her son and family.

Wow...Now this stadium has an awfully identical resemblance to Olympic Stadium in Mexico City, down to the same same clock! ( without that trash he he, sorry just realized that he he)

Great pictures, I am fond of Iranian women, they are very atractive in my modest opinion.



Cheers all.
:cheers:

I hope the people and the country of Iran find political stability and peace soon, because live everyone else in the world they deserve it. Fascinating pictures by all as usual.

Thanks!

Iran is not South America...lol.

Very beautiful country, I really hope the best for Iran!

Thanks for the beautiful pictures of my queen and the royal Family. :)

it i intereting that you want king instead of a secular republic... Why?

^^ why not? everybody has their own opinion...some people like republics, some kingdom...whata absurd question u asked.

i like the kingdom of iran...better than their todays regime...i believe, that what he meant, can't u see that.

Was Muhammad Reva Pahlavi a good leader? I heard a lot of negative things about him.

Was Muhammad Reva Pahlavi a good leader? I heard a lot of negative things about him.

I think he was a very good leader and was doing his best to develop Iran very quickly, but time didn't go as he wanted. :bash:

Mohammad Reza was not the great leader but his Wife Queen Farah Diba was the big power behind him, if she just was a little bit stronger and pressed him to use force against the islamists.... But hey lets keep this political free (sorry that i started...)

Great city. Great country. Great civilization. I love Iran.

Thank you guys and girls for your comments. I'm hoping to have some new pix posted soon. Hey by the way can anyone who lives in Tehran take more pictures and post them here?
I'd truly appreciate it.
Thanks :grouphug:

Yes I always like the kingdom better since it's always been the Persian kingdom.

viva Ahmadinejad !!

Alitezar, you posted amazing pix of The Shah and Shahbanou Farah Diba. She is truly a gorgeous women. God bless the Shah and down with the "Islamic" republic!

A MOST BEAUTIFUL THREAD!! THE PICTURES ARE SO AWESOME...CAPTURING THE PEOPLE, THE CITY, THE LIFE AMONG OTHERS....TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE LEFT WITH THIS MEMORY OF THEIR SHORT TRIP TO THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY!

WELL DONE MY FRIENDS AND BE PROUD OF YOUR WONDERFUL COUNTRY AND CENTURIES OLD HISTORY!

AKIS
ATHENS,GREECE

Thank you so much Akis.

Edit

Fantastic Thread!!

My parents are Armenians from Iran, moved to LA in 1978, you can guess why. Los Angeles is often called Tehrangeles because of the 700,000+ iranians here, mostly living in West LA and in the Beverly Hills area. Most are very fond of Iran and Tehran and are very proud. My dad still reads Iranian Newspapers everyday on the web and many immigrants have Satellite Dishes so that they can follow the soccer teams and the nes back in Tehran. This thread gave me a great way to learn about Tehrana nd Iran and i can see why my parents loved it. keep it up and fedex me some koobideh or sour cherries.

cool city/country!

I used to live in Los Angeles for 5 year too till last year. I just moved to Toronto 6 months ago, which is an amazing city as well. I also used to live in West L.A on Westwood Blvd. It was very fun, we used to go to Glendale alot too for fun since it has a nice downtown. Koobideh is also on its way =)

Thanks to everyone in the Iran forum.

Great photos, and the Persian women are stunning.

Nice Pix Avicena.
Thanks

I have a question: women in Iran wear these scarfs because they want to, or because they have to? I ask coz on some photos they don't wear it (?)

they have to wear it.

Is it in the constitution, or other act? Not wearing it is a misdemeanour or a crime? What are the penalties? Just my pure curiousity...

After the revolution , the current government since they are overly religious they force all women in Iran to wear scarfs but it does not have to be fully covered as long as they have something on their hair.

There are also poeple on the streets that their job is make sure that women have their veil all the time. If they do not wear it they can not come to the streets at all and if they are seen not wearing it they could get arrested and recieve a notice.

The pictures that you see of the fans that do not have veil is because it was in Germany.

Also in Ski resorts of Tehran they can just wear a hat or nothing since there are less guards on the ski resorts.

^^what an evil regime. :(

OMG!!!!!

I had no idea how beautiful Tehran and Iran is, I love it, the pictures of life in general look amazing too. This is so not what we see on television. I'm so overwhelmed by the pictures, if I wasn't a westerner, I would love to stop by and visit the city and ski resorts. This thread is a perfect tourist advertisment.

It is such a shame religious extremism, politics and mentaly unstable dictators can ruin the general happiness and basic freedoms of people the west take for granted. If only they realised life is too short for half the shit thats happening in some parts of the world.

You are absolutely right Wilko. Life is too short to fight and kill innocent people for oil or other reasons. I sometimes wonder that how long Bush or any other cruel governments think that they are gonna live that they mess up the world for money.

edit, you are all right

The second photo in the first lot is great, however, i find all the people photos a little creepy, if i got caught taking that many pictures of girls back home i'd get sent to jail!!!

...

please remove it :( you are messing up this thread... haal het alsjeblieft weg...

Thanks for removing it.

Could any mod edit the thread and delete those disgusting pics? This is not a thread about politics, and I doubt any of us opened it to see pics of people being hanged or buried...

Back to topic, nice pics, I just loved the setting of Tehran, surrounded by mountains :)

Dear Skid Mark thanks alot for editing the post.

Thanks again to Mr. Shahram Razavi

Nevermind the egg thing.Those Persian girls look yummy.

I think they're all good :)

do you have some pictures of Fars (pars) province?? alitezar?? :)

Nice looking country! Love the backdrop of mountains in Tehran! Such a huge spread out city and interstates like here in the U.S. Looks like a pretty peaceful place to me.

Hey Shayan my parents are from Shiraz too :)
I don't know if we should post them here since most of the pages have Tehran pictures and since Shiraz is another big city for itself maybe we should open a new thread or just give me your suggestions and for the history I think it's fun to start with the Shiraz wine history and that it comes originally from Shiraz.

hahahaha really :D your also Shirazi! :D we have a lot of Shirazi members :P well yeah but Most pictures of shiraz or on the monuments :S not so much on the buildings who arent historical.... :S

I'd love to try some of that Persian food :)

There should be Persian restaurants in all major cities of the world. I guess if you try Madrid or Barcelona maybe you'll be able to find some :)

That's really cool. I think that would be great for the pictures. So if you could post some Shiraz pictures that would be great.
Thanks :)

Next time I go to Madrid or any other big city I'll certainly look for a Persian restaurant :)

Nice city. What is a typical weekend of the life of people in Tehran like? :)

Nice city. What is a typical weekend of the life of people in Tehran like? :)

In Iran the weekend is Friday so instead of Saturday and Sunday in the west the public weekly day off is only Friday.
So on Thursday nights when people come back home from work they usually go to parties, restaurants, have dinner in parks or go to movies or any other regular things that people do in the west too except clubbing, which there is none because of the government but people throw very amazing parties at their homes that is 100 times more fun than clubs..

on Fridays, which is the day off people usually clean the house, do grocery shopping, visit relatives, or hang out with their friends and also alot of families cook Kabob for lunch on Fridays or go out to restaurants to have it:)

Hope the info was good

looks tacky, This city has nothing on Beijing. Maybe

alitezar, I don't think I like how you say that headscarfs looks nice, and how good parties ppl throw at their homes, better than going out clubbing....etc
People like you are responsible for allowing the country to continue in it's medival state.

I wish you didn't mix city pics with politics, but you've done this from post 1. I can't stand watching another public advertisement poster...if you want to show the world how westernized Iran is, why not show pics of iranians (both sexes) at the beach? Now that would be interesting, much more than to watch commercial ads.

LOL:

I hardly think these pictures look " medival" according to your standards. Second, what makes you think pictures of a country must potray " western" way of life. Not everyone in the world lives that way and want to live that way. And last time I checked billboards were not an invention of the west. So if you like to see beaches with both sexes, I am sure there are many cities or places that can offer that. but please do not mock or make stupid comments about a country or people.

1)Yes, showing how women must cover up isn't quite modern, is it?
Maybe hanging 16 year old children in public is modern?

2) The point is that he was showing commercial ads in order to make Teheran look western. He also involved politics from the first post in this thread...

3) I'm sure a lot of women thinks the Islamic laws are great for them...lol
Also Consider 10-15 million Iranians in exile to the west (like you) an indication that they are discontent with it's current regime.

4) Talking about the ads again? Well, the billboard itself may be from ancient history but look at what the're trying to promote...yes western lifestyle.

5) Where in Iran can a family or friends go and swim and enjoy the sun ??
Nowhere...that's ONE OF many medival aspects of the country.

6) It's against forum rules to call other point of views "stupid".
I have facts....you have chauvinism...in the end, you know I'm right.



Sorry but I think you're not doing yourselves a favour by hiding the liberties that you once enjoyed in the 70's....take action and overthrow this crazy totalitarian regime at once.

Nice people.

WHAT IS SO GOOD ABOUT A WESTERNIZED COUNTRY?

IRAN IS SUCH A OLD COUNTRY WITH A VERY RICH HISOTRY, CULTURE AND CIVILIZATION THAT DOES NOT NEED THE INFLUENCES OF THE WEST TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.

THE REASON I POSTED THE PICTURES OF BILBOARDS IS SO THAT PEOPLE COULD ALSO SEE HOW THE PERSIAN LANGUAGE LOOKS LIKE, NOT THAT I WANT TO SHOW THAT IRAN IS LIKE A WESTERN COUNTRY.

I MYSELF AM TOTALLY AGAINST THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE GOVERNMNET AND IF YOU CAREFULLY READ MY POST WHAT I MEANT FROM THE SENTENCE THAT SAYS "SCARVES LOOK NICE TOO" IS THAT COMPARED TO WHAT YOU GUYS SEE IN MDEIA FROM IRAN, I JUST WANTED TO SAY IT'S NOT AS RESTRICTED AS YOU THINK AND LADIES DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HAVING THAT TYPE OF VEIL WHEN THEY VISIT IRAN.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STAND ANOTHER ADVERTISEMENT POSTER SINCE I POST THESE PICTURES FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WORLD AND APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT HERE THEY CAN SEE PICTURES FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF TEHRAN, SO IT FEELS SO REAL AND NATURAL TO THEM AND ITS LIKE THEY ARE VISITING THE CITY BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURES.

TEHRAN IS ALREADY A GREAT CITY AND DOES NOT NEED A MC DONNALD TO MAKE IT LOOK WESTERNIZED OR ANY OTHER WESTERN FAST FOOD OR CULTURES.

WE ALREADY HAVE A VERY RICH HISTORY AND CULTURE AND DO NOT NEED WESTERN INFLUENCES TO MAKE US LOOK GOOD.

Great pics Tehran is better than i imagined, i suprised with every photo:okay:

btw being western is not same thing with being modern. Iran must modernised itself, it seems Iranians want to enjoy modern life more than traditional or older way of life. the world is changing and citizens of Iran want to be the part of this movement but they have problems especially about freedom and rights of citizens.why are some people trying to demoralise them instead of support them?!?!

i think alitezar is trying to show modern face of Iran or how they are trying to be modern. he didnt promote westernism of Iran.

on the other hand Iran has great culture and a brilliant ancient history which makes it unique unlike many countries in the western world.

This is another set of pictures about all different things. Thanks to Mani in the bigsoccer forum, webshots members and SSC Iranian forum members, such as Shayan and Gilgamesh and all others.
Enjoy :cheers:

Tehran has a lot of nice buildings.

Thanks Urban girl and very controversial for your kind comments.

great looking city. i've just moved it onto my list of places to go.

great looking city. i've just moved it onto my list of places to go.

It'd be great to have you there. I'm sure you'll have so much fun :banana:

Tehran looks great, very nice! --- but is air pollution still rampant in the city?

Tehran is the most beautiful city in Middle East. That's true.

Nice pix, looks like an alright city :)
TV really disguises the good parts of the middle east I'm finding...

They always show up desert regions like Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Syria, and Southern Iran instead of the vibrant capital in Tehran, as well as the beautiful Caspian Coast up north.

5) Where in Iran can a family or friends go and swim and enjoy the sun ??
Nowhere...that's ONE OF many medival aspects of the country.



Caspian Coast around Gilan. Though the water is quite polluted there.

And I've heard than Iran has many Azerbaijani... that looks cool.

And I've heard than Iran has many Azerbaijani... that looks cool.

Yes you are right. Thanks for your info. The air pollution is also a big issue in Tehran in some days.

Yes there are many Azari people in Iran, Actually we have two provinces in the North West part of Iran that are called Eastern Azarbaeijan and Western Azarbaeijan and most people are Azari there I belive.

Also for swimming there is the Kish Island in Persian Gulf that has crystal clear water and is suitable for swimming but the Caspian sea is not recommended for swimming.

You may see Kish Island pictures at page 2 or 3 I believe.

Okay, now I have to visit Iran one day.

i think this should get a sticky for all the ignorant people to see -__- Never judge Iran and the Iranians for there government... -__-

I agree with you, but at the same time each nation deserves its rulers.

Beautiful women. I have met some really hot Persian girls in New York.

So that photographies the faces of the people… I do not understand it? the forum architecture cake.

:S I m trying to understand your english but it looks like your trying to say that this is an architecture forum and you dont understand the pictures of the woman :) well you_re right this is an architecture forum but there are many thread of many cities showing other things than only buildings... like streetlife and billbords :)

Are Iranians considered to be Arabs?

nope :) we speak a different language and have a different culture than arabs. Islam is the only thing arabs and Iranians have in common and if you believe in something like race than Iranians are from a different race... Iranians are aryan or turkic and Arabs are like jews semitic... :)

i think this should get a sticky for all the ignorant people to see -__- Never judge Iran and the Iranians for there government... -__-

You are so right Shayan:)

So that photographies the faces of the people… I do not understand it? the forum architecture cake.

I posted pictures of the city mixed with people and street life so you can experince it more fully. I personally enjoy seeing pictures of cities mixed with people, street lifes and all other cultural aspects since it helps me to learn more about that city and people's daily life.

Edit

If I live in Iran and somebody ask what my license plate number is I wouldn't be able to tell them lolz!

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/alitezar/Tehran%20Mega/THR2/ir8.jpg

I really love to visit Tehran someday, but I don't think its easy for me to get a visa in since I'm a US citizen, you know the problem between our countries. Anyways its sad that most people, know or think Iran is just deserts or its cities is just like Baghdad, but the truth is its very different. I've always been fascinated with Persian culture, its food and society I guess thats one of the reason why I want to go there, to experience the real thing. When did Iran ease the veil for women, please enlighten me, do a lot of women still wear Chador?

If I live in Iran and somebody ask what my license plate number is I wouldn't be able to tell them lolz!


LOL that was funny you are right but top line says which city the car is from for isntace in U.S cars show what state they are from like Arizona or New York but in Iran it indicates the name of the city instead of the state and the second line is just numbers so for instance for this white car it would read as
63N368
So it's not as bad when you know Persian :)


Also in Iran in past ten year women have been trying to wear these scarves and over coats and the only people who wear Chador ( that whole body black cover) are the religious ones, which still you can see them among people in the city but not too much.

I am not too sure about the Visa process thing but I hope someday you get to visit Iran since it's really a nice place and it will be a very exciting experience for you.

super country that many people judge badly
its first time that I see as many photographs of Teheran thank you very much!!!
the women Iranian are as beautiful as Teheran!!!

each nation deserves its rulers. :applause:

Now I know! Iran has its own world to live. They can enjoy there country without going somewhere else.

wow! This city looks great! I cant imagine how it would look if the US begin a war with Iran...

every iranian or any one from tehran should be extremely proud of there heritage. iran is a gorgeous country, with stunning natural beauty. you have thousands of years of culture and decorational elements that are still being used in modern architecture and seemingly in everyday life. keeping your past alive along with the future. and from what i can see in those pictures your cities seem to be pleasant places.

just one question. whats going on with the weather! some of those pictures look like the dead of winter with terribly cold days. and others seem like the trees are going to catch ablaze from the suppressing heat.

Thank you very much for your kind comment :)

As for the winter pictures since they are not in order so you may see random shots of winter in Tehran among other pictures.

It would really be a big shame if Mr.Bush and Mr.Achmadineschad would destroy this wonderful city (and country) due their stupid power games.

Thanks to all Iranian forumers who show us this nice pics. :okay:

These are awesome pics... Some of the old buildings in Tehran look like old buildings in India. And many of the people in India seem to look like people from Iran... Maybe that is because India was ruled by Persian Kings for over 1000 years???
Awesome pics!

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful city. I would give anything to be able to visit there one day. Hopefully we will be able to run the idiot Bush out of office soon and our two countries can try to get a better understanding of each other.

Are Americans even allowed to apply for visas to Iran at this time? Are there any Americans in Iran or Tehran specifically, living or visiting? I know it's much easier to get into and out of Iran through Germany. I have neighbors here in Atlanta who are from Tehran and I remember once when they went back to visit they had to go first to Germany and then to Iran and the same way back.

Alitezar, what is your opinion of the president of Iran? He is painted as totally insane by the media. Also if an American was able to gain entry into Iran for vacation, how would he/she be received by the citizens there?

Thank you so much for your comment.

I am neither for Bush nor Ahmadinejad but the thing I want is the safety of all innocent people.

Anyhow as for visiting Iran, you can apply for visas but since U.S does not give Iranians visas very easily, Iran has to do the same thing in return.

As for visitors there are many people who visit Iran each year but the number is about 1 million per year due to the negative influences of media otherwise Iran really deserves to get a much higher number of tourists.

Tehran and all parts of Iran are very safe to visit and very fun and could be a very cool experience.

Hope that you would visit someday soon :)

Feel free to ask me any questions,

All the best

Sorry my history is not that great. But that is very nice to know.

With many thanks to Gilgamesh fior his recent pictures and Aryaeiboy in Iran forum.

That is so cool I used to live in this part of Tehran for more than 8 years our home was among these high rises next to the big white one in the middle. This part of the city is called Farmaniyeh.
Man I miss it alot.

This is the Mount Damavand the highest elevation in Iran. Its height is 5875 Meters and is located 75 KM N.E. of Tehran. On clear days you can see it from Tehran easily.

iran is a very interesting little world

How can one not have the desire to visit Iran after seeing these pics.

wow! :eek: good job with this thread!!!

Mer30 ;)

kewl :P

every country has it's uniqe elements. never seen any iran city on tv screen, but these photos said that's a wonderful city.
greeting from china.

Thanks Oliver.

Persian women are beautiful .

not just pretty,they have high position in politics!

I really love to visit Tehran someday, but I don't think its easy for me to get a visa in since I'm a US citizen, you know the problem between our countries. Anyways its sad that most people, know or think Iran is just deserts or its cities is just like Baghdad, but the truth is its very different. I've always been fascinated with Persian culture, its food and society I guess thats one of the reason why I want to go there, to experience the real thing. When did Iran ease the veil for women, please enlighten me, do a lot of women still wear Chador?

I think it doesn't matter! because I belive racial problem can be surmounted by friendship ! and Iran isn't worse like Iraq.their country,their movie are developing. their woman is more free than other Arabian countries.maybe you don't know how deep-rooted that chinese hate japanese ! and my father's object is "Don't touch japanese forever",but I don't think so.we younger of both countries can understand easily each other .because we are so young so we aren't worldliness.
I have a long article about Iran ,if you are interested in it, leave your e-mail
,let me try to translate it and send to you.but I need much time ,because my English isn't very well:)

great pics

lol, wood curving contest

Beautiful pictures. Sure give me a new impression of the city and country.
Thanks.
I hope all Americans have a look at these pictures.

Thanks Northern Lotus. Yes it's a very different and cool place compared to what they make it look in the west.

Amazing city, though non-existent as a tourist destination. It’s really a pity because as far as I know form my limited contact with Iranians, they are very extrovert and easy to get along with. They don’t fit at all in the stereotypes the West has about Moslems.

I just saw Bacheha-Ye aseman yesterday for the first time - not only a very great movie but also a perfect insight of the different faces of the city!

Teheran looks really nice, but what I like the most are the people in the pictures most of them look just like models.

Personally I think anyway that Persians are some of the most beautiful people in the world! :)

Teheran looks really nice, but what I like the most are the people in the pictures most of them look just like models.


they are obsessed with plastic surgery lol ;)

Thanks Miranda and Kuesel for your kind comments.

Hi everyone, I am new in this forum. Amazing pictures of Iran. The subways are great, very clean. Unlike here in the Phillippines our metrorail ways are not that good as yours in Iran. The pictures you posted about Iran is very informative. Thanks a lot

Wooooowwww... Iranian women are so hot! Now I know why they have to cover...

Iran seems really great to me, completly underrated...

Hi nes1 Welcome to the big SSC forum. I hope that you'll have so much fun here exploring different parts of the world and cities.
Thanks for your kind comments as well:)

The Metro and the airport looks great.

Iran looks great. Unfortunatly I can't get past the requirement for women to wear the Hijab. Why should 50% of the population be forced to dress a certain way? Even if some are happy to wear it, not all are, but 100% ARE FORCED TO. That is just not right, and no amount of rationalization can make it so.

Men in Iran have a dresscode to you know its the same as the women but men dont have to cover there hair ;)... neither women nor men follow the dresscode perfectly :) you see 3/4 pants in Iran slimfitting jeans short coats and all the fashion in the west the only difference is that women have to cover there hair... its bad i know and i disagree with it but from the pictures you can see that people are free to express them in fashion more than people expected from Iran ;) But Iran has bigger problems that the hejab believe me ;) But well :) dont worry some more years and we wont see the hejab that much in Iran ;)

Hi Dariush,

Actually I have lots of winter pictures spread all over this thread, sorry they are not in one place, but if you check the thread called "How does your city look during Christmas" in the same forum you can see some winter pictures of Tehran.

Hope that helps:)

a very pretty city….thanks for the photographies
