Tehran, sometimes spelled Teheran, is the capital of Iran and the capital of Tehran Province. With a population of approximately 8.4 million in the city center and 15 million in the entire Tehran metropolitan area, Tehran is the most populous city in Iran and in West Asia.
The ancient culture of the Persian Empire has left behind countless invaluable legacies and numerous other surprises about the country and its people. Everywhere I went, I was captivated by the warmth and hospitality of the Iranian people. It is a land of people beautiful in appearance and spirit, friendly and offering unconditional help.
Tehran is vast, with a climate that varies even within the city, some areas experiencing lower temperatures than others. Sunlight spreads throughout the day, with the sun only setting at 9 pm, leaving plenty of time for outdoor activities. Parks connect with gardens where flowers bloom year-round, and snow-capped mountains remain even in summer.
Solemn mosques are everywhere, with dome designs and minarets intricately decorated from the exterior to the interior details of Islamic architecture.
Golestan Palace is an impressive structure, meticulously crafted down to every single brick. Each small brick is a picture, perhaps a fable, adorned with patterns reflecting culture and religion.
Bazaars, situated on labyrinthine streets or fortified like fortresses, were considered the very heart of Persia, always bustling with countless goods, the most attractive of which were handicrafts and precious stones.
In the markets, only men stand behind stalls selling goods and doing the heavy work.
Somewhere under the trees, young couples sat chatting, openly displaying their affection when I asked permission to take their pictures.
These girls have sparkling eyes and mouths, radiant smiles, and are as beautiful as beauty queens.
The elderly people were also very hospitable and warm-hearted.
Even if you're just passing by on the street, everyone will wave and greet you with a friendly smile.
