Nā’īn, Iran - Part 9 (Travel Documentary in Urdu Hindi)
Nain (نائين) is a city in and the capital of Nain County, Isfahan Province, Iran. At the 2011 census, its population was 25,379 in 7,730 families. Na’in lies 170 km north of Yazd and 140 km east of Esfahan with an area of almost 35,000 km², Na’in lies at an altitude of 1545 m above sea level. Like much of the Iranian plateau, it has a desert climate, with a maximum temperature of 41 °C in summer, and a minimum of -9 °C in winter.
More than 3,000 years ago the Persians learned how to construct aqueducts underground (qanat in Persianکاریز) to bring water from the mountains to the plains. In the 1960s this ancient system provided more than 70 percent of the water used in Iran and Na’in is one of the best places in all the world to see these qanats functioning.
Unique to Na’in are some of the most outstanding monuments in all of Iran: the Jame Mosque, one of the first four mosques built in Iran after the Arab invasion; the Pre-Islamic Narej Fortress; a Pirnia traditional house; the Old Bazaar; Rigareh, and a qanat-based watermill.
Besides its magnificent monuments, Na’in is also famous for high-quality carpets and wool textile and home made pastry ( copachoo) .
Some linguists believe the word Na’in may have been derived from the name of one of the descendants of the prophet Noah, who was called Naen. Many local people speak an ancient Pahlavi Sasani dialect, the same dialect that is spoken by the Zoroastrians in Yazd today.
It has one of the earliest remaining mosques in Iran, and has a Sassanid era fort, now in ruins, called Narin Ghal'eh. Naein is most famous in the world for its rugs.

Kashan, Mosque, Bazaar, Timche-ye Amin od-Dowleh, Iran
A remarkable chronology emerges from study of inscriptions in the mosque, which concern details of public instructions and social affairs dealing with a wide range of subjects including the sale of goods and foodstuff at reasonable prices, the welfare of farmers and the importance of their work, the eradication of heresy and cruelty, as well as the prohibition of illegal acts, gambling, etc.
Amin al-Dowleh Timche, a caravanserai with a beautifully decorated dome, dating from 1868, is home to carpet sellers and the odd curiosity shop. There’s a tea stand at one of its entrances where you can sit and watch a steady stream of shoppers pass by.

Visit of Esfahan - Isfahan - اصفهان - Ispahan (Iran / ایران )
Isfahan ou Esfahan (en persan : اصفهان, Esfahān) est une ville d'Iran, capitale de la province d'Isfahan. Le nom de la ville est aussi rendu sous la graphie Ispahan. Elle est située à 340 kilomètres au sud de la capitale, Téhéran. Troisième ville d'Iran (après Téhéran et Mashhad) avec 1 600 554 habitants en 2006, la zone métropolitaine d'Isfahan est un des centres majeurs de l'industrie et de l'enseignement en Iran.
Isfahan a été capitale de l'empire perse sous la dynastie des Safavides entre le XVIe siècle et le XVIIIe siècle. L'architecture de la ville, qui est noyée de verdure bien irriguée, offre un contraste avec les étendues désertiques qui l'entourent. Cet aspect particulier, résultat des efforts de Shah Abbas, ainsi que les nombreux monuments islamiques construits entre le XIe et le XIXe siècle, sont aujourd'hui menacés par la modernité. Le classement de la place Naghsh-e Jahan au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité depuis 1988 contribue à faire prendre en considération les spécificités de l'urbanisme d'Isfahan.

Esfahān or Isfahan (historically also rendered as Ispahan, Old Persian: Aspadana, Middle Persian: Spahān, Persian: اصفهان Esfahān), located about 340 km south of Tehran at 32°39′5″N, 51°40′45″ECoordinates: 32°39′5″N, 51°40′45″E, is the capital of Esfahan Province and Iran's third largest city (after Tehran and Mashhad). Esfahan has a population of 1,600,554 (2007 calculation).[1]
Esfahan is located on the main north-south and east-west routes crossing Iran, and was once one of the largest cities in the world. It flourished from 1050 to 1722, particularly in the 16th century under the Safavid dynasty, when it became the capital of Persia for the second time in its history. Even today, the city retains much of its past glory. It is famous for its Islamic architecture, with many beautiful boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques, and minarets. This led to the Persian proverb Esfahān nesf-e jahān ast: Esfahan is half of the world.[2]
The Naghsh-e Jahan Square in Esfahan is one of the biggest city squares in the world and an outstanding example of Iranian and Islamic architecture. It has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The city also has a wide variety of historic monuments ranging from the Sassanid to the Safavid dynasties. Remaining Islamic architectural sites were built from 11th to the 19th century while older pre-Islamic monuments date back to 1000 B.C.
