Any photos of the less prosperous parts of town? From these pictures one would assume that Tehran is only a rich, modern, and trendy city, but we know better than to ignore the poor

Tehran like any other place has poor neighborhoods and they are mostly located on the southern part of the city Majority of Tehran is middle class and upper class and on the southern Tehran you can see poor neighborhoods but not everywhere in the south though.

I am spreading the pictures since there were many on previous page.
My favorite freeway intersection and one of the most beautiful parks in Tehran, its called Taleghani park.                Iran Air Flight Attendant Uniform  Flight Attendant 2 inside Iran Air   Iran Air itself   The sign on tail of Iran Air originates from this bird called Homa, which is in Persepolis Palace (The most famous hisotric site in Iran, where Persian Empire started more than 2500 years ago).

Thankyou so much Alitezar for providing us with all these pictures, I have been a fan of Tehran for sometime now but never yet have to oppurtunity to go there. The mountains, the girls, the city, the language, the culture, it all seems so beautiful to me. I have heard nothing but good thing about it, I am a pro snowboarder so I can't wait to experience the mountains there. Are there many western travellers in Tehran, backpackers etc?

Thanks for your kind comments. There are some foreign travellers visiting Tehran and majority are from Asian countries but not as many as Iran deserves. Unfortunately since there has never been a positive image of Iran in media noone knows that it can be this much fun and nobody knows that we have all facilities that even the most advanced western cities have. But iran is a very safe country for travellers, so much history, good food (especially lovely kabobs and awesome Pizzas And Tehran as you can see is so huge and has so much to offer, such as museums, sking, shopping, mountain climbing, awesome restaurants and food plus many other activities. Hope that you would visit someday. |

Wow, I did not know that Teheran is so near to such high mountains. (If I am honest I have to admit that I dont know much about Iranian geography)
I am sure Tehran really does not deserve the image it has among many in the west. From time to time you can find on European TV channels documentations about Iran. I mean about the real people. Not some scapegoat projections. Its normally an eye opener when you see pictures of the real Tehran and the people that live there. I have to say from the pictures in your thread, that the city has a whole number of great buildings. Not only the large ones, also some very creative pitoresque smaller ones.

lol, it's not a lie that 3000 people die monthly, it's a misunderstanding.
 It's Tehrans winter climate that traps pollution and "during Oct. 23-Nov. 21 about 3,600 people in the capital died of air pollution, either directly or indirectly",according to Iran Daily as i said it's the winter climate that traps pollution in the other seasons it isn't as bad. But the problem is getting worse by the day as Tehrani families are even buying several cars. Last edited by Gilgamesh; January 23rd, 2007 at 10:21 PM. |
