TEHRAN:
Tehran (also spelled Teheran) (Persian: تهران), is the capital city of Iran. A bustling metropolis of 14 million people, it is situated at the foot of the towering Alborz mountain range.
Tehran is a cosmopolitan city, with great museums, parks, restaurants, warm friendly people. It deserves at least a few days of your Iranian itinerary.
The city can be roughly divided into two different parts - north and south. The northern districts of Tehran are more prosperous, modern, cosmopolitan and expensive while southern parts is less attractive but cheaper.
At the time of the Zand dynasty, it was a little town that was significant from a strategic point of view. The first of the Qajar kings, Agha Mohammed Khan, named Tehran as the country's capital in 1778, and most of its growth started during the reign of a subsequent Qajar monarch, Fath-Ali Shah. The castle which Agha Mohammed Khan had built was to contain the new majestic buildings.
At the same time, the city's populace was redoubled. Due to the increasing significance of the city, gates, squares and mosques were built and it was at the time of Nassereddin Shah that the city's master sketch was prepared and modern streets were constructed. Later, huge central squares like Toopkhaneh square (now Imam Khomeini) and quite a few military buildings were built. Even though the Qajar dynasty was in a period of decline, Tehran soon took the shape of a modern city. The structure of large government buildings, new streets, recreation centres, urban service organizations, and academic and methodical centres were started, even as most of the old gates and buildings were destroyed and the city's old architectural fabric replaced by a contemporary one.
A combination of factors make Tehran a pleasant place to visit: The dry climate which is constantly cool (at least in the evenings), the proximity of the mountains, the parks and gardens where flowers blossom all through the year, the alleys of trees in the avenues or even smaller streets, and even the water that runs down from the upper city along deep and wide gutters which look like small rivers during spring. The Alborz range on the north of Tehran, which hosts the highest peak in Iran, provides fantastic conditions for ski lovers in the winter. In winter, the mountain hotels and ski-clubs at Shemshak, and Dizine are full several days a week. Some specialist skiers consider the snow value in northern Tehran to be one of the most excellent in the world.
Tehran Metro
Tehran's new metro system is comprised of four lines that will whisk you quickly from one end of the city to the other without having to deal with the noise, pollution and chaos of Tehrani traffic. However, many residents decided to leave their cars and commute by metro, so expect huge crowds during rush hours.
There are five lines (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) but the two most useful are lines 1 (north to south- currently from Qeytariyeh Station to Haram-e-Motahar Station) and 2 (east to west) which connect at the central Imam Khomeini station. All stations have signs in both Persian and English. Trains run every 10 minutes or less on rush hours (15 minutes on Fridays and holidays) from around 5:30AM-11PM every day.
line1 (red line) recently extended northward to Tajrish station, L1. edit and southward to Kahrizak station, L1.
line2 (blue line) Sadeghieh to Sadeghieh (Tehran) Station, L2, L5. edit to Farhagsara Station, L2. edit
line3 (azur line) from southwest Azadegan Station, L3. edit to northeast Shahid Beheshti Station, L3. (7 km ).
line4 (yellow line) recently extended eastward to Shahid Kolahdooz station, L4. edit and westward to Ekbatan Eram e Sabz Station, L4. transfer to L5
line5 (green line) commuter train Sadeghieh (Tehran) Station, L2, L5. edit to Golshahr Station, L5.
Tickets are valid for 1 or 2 trips (including change of lines) and cost 6,000 or 10,000 rials respectively. There are ticket booths at every station. You can also buy a contactless fare card which is the best option if you are going to use metro a lot, or simply want to have less hassle by paying 20,000 rials for a card and use it on both metro and some city buses (note that if you use this card, you usually pay less than any other tickets, since they charge for the longest trip on the network). There are two dedicated women-only carriages at each end of the train. Women can anyway choose to travel aboard the other carriages.
There are a few apps for Android and iOS devices to assist passengers on using the metro. You can try downloading the Tehran Metro app which is made specially for foreign travelers.

Kerman (Persian: کرمان) is a city in Iran. It is the center of Kerman province. Located in a large and flat plain, this city is located 1,076 km (669 mi) south of Tehran, capital of Iran.
Kerman city had an estimated population of 533,799 in 2005.[1]
Kerman is located on a high margin of Kavir-e lut (Lut Desert) in the central south of Iran.
[edit] Climate
The city's many districts are surrounded by mountains which bring variety to Kerman's year round weather pattern, thus the northern part of the city is located in an arid desert area, while the highland of the southern part of the city enjoys a more moderate climate. The mean elevation of the city is about 1755 m above sea level.
Kerman city has a moderate and the average annual rainfall is 135 mm. Because it is located close to the Kavir-e lut, Kerman has hot summers and in the spring it often has violent sand storms. Otherwise, its climate is relatively cool.[5]
[edit] Geological Characteristics
For the Iranian Paleontologists, Kerman has always been considered a fossil paradise. Finding new dinosaur footprints in 2005 has now revealed new hopes for Paleontologists to better understand the history of this area.[7][8]

Iran Semnan province, Sarou ancient castles دژهاي باستاني سارو بزرگ و كوچك استان سمنان ايران
April 7, 2016 (Persian calendar 1395/1/19)
Semnan province (استان سمنان)
Saru castles (Persian: قلعه های سارو; also transliterayed as Soru) are two related castles located at 10 km in north east of Semnan, Iran, on mountains of south and north of a valley called Kalâteh Sârū (کلاته سارو, Saru Castle) or Mazra'eh-ye Sârū (مزرعه سارو, Saru Farm). The northern castle, Lesser Saru (ساروی کوچک), is mostly in ruins. The southern castle, Greater Saru (ساروی بزرگ), or simply Saru Castle (قلعه سارو), is the main one and is 100 m higher than the Lesser Saru. It is relatively intact. It has triple defensive outer walls and an unusually double-bend main entrance way, and features a sophisticated water catchment area. The Lesser Saru was used to defend the Kalateh Saru natural springs from which water was pumped to the main castle.
Saru castle(s) are believed to be used by Arsacids, Dabuyids of Tabaristan, Buyids, and eventually by the Ismailis. Saru is relatevely less-researched, and is a well-preserved case to study architecture of the Ismaili castles. The castles are located at 80 km of Gerdkuh, another Ismaili castle of the Qumis region. It is believed that Ismailis built the current castle on the site of an earlier fortification.
The etymology of the word Sârū (سارو) is uncertain.
