Hi everyone:

These are all pictures of Tehran the capital of Iran, the biggest city in the Middle East 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 stupid western media 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.

Iran's Provinces and their capitals



In the map below I have marked main territories of Tehran, Northern Tehran, East, West, Central and South from Tehran.ir

1. Northern Tehran: Wealthy areas , Upper Class
2. East: Middle Class
3. West: Middle Class and Upper Middle Class and Wealthy closer to the North East Corner and center of the area (shahrake Qarb)
4. Central Tehran: Middle Class
5. South: Lower middle class, poor areas in the further south and south end tips of the city



All these orange lines are Tehran main highways...it has as many highways as Los Angeles and New York...



Below are the name of major neighborhoods of Tehran Metro area from Wikipedia



Tehran Subway Map still under construction and growing to more than 9 lines.



An amazing website for planning your trip to Iran with a huge amount of awesome and useful hints and tips and tour pakcage offers.

http://www.irpedia.com/


It even talks about the dress code as what to wear and when to visit etc.




Since Iran is the only country that the dress code is forced on all women by the government I thought I'd share this clip with you all. After the Islamic revolution in Iran the evil Islamic regime set so many restrictions for people and specially on women, such as the forced veil and many other restrictions, shutting down all Tehran night clubs, bars and basically destroying the social life of all people contrary to their false promises that people fell for. Anyways this is the clip that shows women protesting against the newly implemented dress code and in 1981 the dress code became mandatory and all women were forced to wear scarves and Manto (overcoats) regardless of if they believed in it or not.


March 8, 1979 Iranian Women March Against Hijab (Veil) and Islamic Laws




Below for example is a cool website regarding a tourist agency in the city of Shiraz and their customer review about Iran.

There are hundreds of testimonials in thier website below

Comments: I thought that Iran is very beautiful country, but I was really surprised. It's more beautiful than I was expected. I think here is more safe than in most countrys in Europe. People in Europe don't know the truth about Iran and Iranian people, who are very kind.

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.

Lachavanne Anne-Valerie
Location: France Entrance: 06/17/2007 Cities: Tabriz,Qazvin,Esfahan,Shiraz,Yazd
Length: 3 weeks Occupation: teacher Education: University

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



LLaurador
Location: Catalonia (Spain) Entrance: 16.05.07 Cities: Isfahan, Kerman, Shiraz
Length: 20 days Occupation: Psychologist Education: Psychology

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.



Goran Belic
Location: Slovenia Entrance: 11.5.2007 Cities: Tehran,Ahwaz, Kerman, Bam, Shiraz, Esfahan
Occupation: Economist Education: Economist

Comments: We like to travel thru Iran that is the reason we came back for the second time. People are very nice and friendly. It is also one of the safest countries. Come and taste it on your own.



Jan and Geioff Brown
Location: Australia Entrance: May 4 2007 Cities: Tehran Isfahan Shiraz Mashad
Length: one month Occupation: retired Education: university degrees

Comments: This is our third trip to Iran in 7 years. We like this country and its people very much. We like their sense of humor in particular. The sights of Iran are magnificent and full of history and beauty. The music is very enjoyable also. We find always that everybody is very friendly and helpful and honest, which is not the case at home always.



Antoinette van den Steenhoven
Location: Netherlands Entrance: 22 April 2007 Cities: Tehran, Kashan, Esfahan, Yazd, Shiraz, Tabriz, Rasht, Masuleh Length: 1 month Occupation: Psychologist Education: university

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

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...

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.

Thats the kind of mentality that pisses me off.
Persians are not Arabs,they are Aryans who later on moved to Europe,thats why Germans are also Aryans. Persians have genetic traits similar to Italians,English,Danish,Greek,Basque.

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

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
