Iran:
Iran officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered to the northwest by Armenia, the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan; with Kazakhstan and Russia across the Caspian Sea; to the northeast by Turkmenistan; to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest nation in the Middle East and the 18th-largest in the world. With 78.4 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 17th most populous nation. It is the only country that has both a Caspian Sea and an Indian Ocean coastline. Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz.
Geography:
Iran is the 18th largest country in the world, with an area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi). Its area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined, or somewhat more than the US state of Alaska. Iran lies between latitudes 24° and 40° N, and longitudes 44° and 64° E. Its borders are with Azerbaijan (611 km (380 mi)) (with Azerbaijan-Naxcivan exclave (179 km (111 mi) )) and Armenia (35 km (22 mi)) to the north-west; the Caspian Sea to the north; Turkmenistan (992 km (616 mi)) to the north-east; Pakistan (909 km (565 mi)) and Afghanistan (936 km (582 mi)) to the east; Turkey (499 km (310 mi)) and Iraq (1,458 km (906 mi)) to the west; and finally the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman to the south.
Mount Damavand, Iran's highest point, is located in Amol County, Mazanderan.
Iran consists of the Iranian Plateau with the exception of the coasts of the Caspian Sea and Khuzestan Province. It is one of the world's most mountainous countries, its landscape dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate various basins or plateaux from one another. The populous western part is the most mountainous, with ranges such as the Caucasus, Zagros and Alborz Mountains; the last contains Iran's highest point, Mount Damavand at 5,610 m (18,406 ft), which is also the highest mountain on the Eurasian landmass west of the Hindu Kush.
The northern part of Iran is covered by dense rain forests called Shomal or the Jungles of Iran. The eastern part consists mostly of desert basins such as the Dasht-e Kavir, Iran's largest desert, in the north-central portion of the country, and the Dasht-e Lut, in the east, as well as some salt lakes. This is because the mountain ranges are too high for rain clouds to reach these regions.
The only large plains are found along the coast of the Caspian Sea and at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, where Iran borders the mouth of the Arvand river. Smaller, discontinuous plains are found along the remaining coast of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
Iran's climate ranges from arid or semiarid, to subtropical along the Caspian coast and the northern forests. On the northern edge of the country (the Caspian coastal plain) temperatures rarely fall below freezing and the area remains humid for the rest of the year. Summer temperatures rarely exceed 29 °C (84.2 °F).Annual precipitation is 680 mm (26.8 in) in the eastern part of the plain and more than 1,700 mm (66.9 in) in the western part. United Nations Resident Coordinator for Iran Gary Lewis has said that Water scarcity poses the most severe human security challenge in Iran today
To the west, settlements in the Zagros basin experience lower temperatures, severe winters with below zero average daily temperatures and heavy snowfall. The eastern and central basins are arid, with less than 200 mm (7.9 in) of rain, and have occasional deserts. Average summer temperatures exceed 38 °C (100.4 °F). The coastal plains of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman in southern Iran have mild winters, and very humid and hot summers. The annual precipitation ranges from 135 to 355 mm (5.3 to 14.0 in).

After arriving in Tehran I went straight to one sight I haven’t shown you in my episode from Tehran yet…but it totally belongs on your list: the Tabiat bridge.
My road trip through the north of Iran started on the next day with the goal to introduce you to as many things to do in the north of Iran as possible. For this I was fortunate enough to go with local friends of mine as we needed to drive quite a lot to get to all the places in just one week.
This part of the trip was executed within 1 week - following I list all the places I visited & Things to do in the north of Iran:
- Alamut Castle & Alamut Valley
- Rasht
- Masuleh (Gilan province)
- Ramsar & Caspian Sea
- Bam e Sabz
- Tabiat bridge in Tehran
This video is part of „Inside Iran“ - a documentary series introducing you to popular and unknown sights / things to do in Iran as well as the Persian cuisine and the super friendly locals we met on our trip from Tehran to Isfahan, Shiraz, Yazd and now also the north of Iran. With this series I want to create a better understanding of the country and it’s people without focussing on politics or religion.

Iran's Top 10 Experiences according to Lonely Planet
Iran's Top 10 Experiences according to Lonely Planet
10. Desert Homestays
The welcome is rarely warmer than in the vast, empty silence of Iran's great deserts. Garmeh is the oasis village of your dreams, with a crumbling castle, swaying date palms and the sound of spring water. It's the sort of place you come for one night and stay four.
9. Skiing the Alborz Mountains
Alborz is a mountain range in northern Iran stretching from the borders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the northwest to the southern end of the Caspian Sea, and ending in the east at the borders of Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Due to its great snowy winters there are several ski resorts, some consider that a few of these are among the best in the world.
8. Choqa Zanbil
Chogha Zanbil is an ancient Elamite complex in the Khuzestan province of Iran. Chogha in Bakhtiari means hill. It is one of the few existent ziggurats outside of Mesopotamia. It lies approximately 42 km (26 mi) south-southwest of Dezfoul, 30 km (19 mi) west of Susa and 80 km (50 mi) north of Ahvaz.
7. The Islamic Republic
Iran is an Islamic Republic and while most travellers find Islam is not nearly as all-pervasive as they had expected, the Shiite faith remains an important part of Iranian life. It is at its most obvious in the passionate devotion seen at monuments such as the huge Haram-e Razavi in Mashhad.
6. Nomads of the Zagros
The Zagros Mountains form the largest mountain range in Iran and Iraq. This mountain range has a total length of 1,500 km. The Zagros mountain range begins in northwestern Iran and roughly corresponds to Iran's western border, and it spans the whole length of the western and southwestern Iranian plateau, ending at the Strait of Hormuz.
5. Ancient Persepolis
The centre of the great Persian Empire, ceremonial capital of the Achaemenians and the showpiece of Achaemenian art, Persepolis is a historic site in Fars Province, 60 km to the northeast of Shiraz. This magnificent court was the summer residence of the Achaemenian emperors and their official reception quarters.
4. More than Kabab
Chelo kabab is the national dish of Iran. The meal is simple, consisting of steamed, saffroned basmati or Persian rice and kabab, of which there are several distinct Persian varieties. This dish is served throughout Iran today, but was traditionally associated with the northern part of the country.
3. Yazd
Yazd is the capital of Yazd Province, and a centre of Zoroastrian culture. Because of generations of adaptations to its desert surroundings, Yazd is an architecturally unique city. It is also known in Iran for the high quality of its handicrafts, especially silk weaving, and its confectionary.
2. Esfahan, Half of the World
Located south of Tehran, it is considered by the locals to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. An ancient town and capital of Persia from 1598 to 1722, it was long noted for its fine carpets and silver filigree. Today textile and steel mills take over their place. Its architecture, tree-lined boulevards and relaxed pace make it one of the highlights of Iran's cities.
1. Meet the People
From watching the TV you could be forgiven for thinking Iranians are scary, America-hating fundamentalists bent on destroying the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, it's the people that leave the most lasting impressions from any journey to Iran. You will regularly be asked 'What do you think of Iran?', and be bought tea and food with intonations that 'You are our guest'. The people are, quite simply, the best experience in Iran.

Iran - Amazing Historical Monuments in Qazvin province
Qazvin, an ancient and touristy City, is located 135 kilometers northwest of Tehran on the foothills of Alborz mountain range. Qazvin is one of the most important cultural and economic centers in Iran thanks to being located on the most important roads of the Country, possessing a vast and fertile plain and buoyant agriculture, enjoying temperate climate, having industrial cities in its surroundings together with various religious schools.
The establishment of Qazvin, based on some historical writings, dates back to mid fifth millennium before Christ and according to other findings to the Sassanid era in Iranian history. Apparently, Shapoor Zolaktaf (310-371 AD) ordered the building of a castle to prevent Deilamiyan’s aggressions in an area that later became the City of Qazvin. Some historians believe that the name Qazvin is derived from Kashvin, meaning border keeping and some orientalists are of the view that the name is taken from the name of tribes called Kaspin who settled to the west of Caspian Sea.
The City was the capital of Iran in the Safavid era for 51 years (from 955 After Hejrah) and is therefore of cultural and historical significance in Iranian history.

Inside Iran - Roller Coaster in Masal Iran
Music: Circus by Bomrani Band
The city of Masal includes two parts of Masal and Shanderman which both feature the natural tourist attractions. The green roof is not dominated by villa constructors and dealers yet and has still preserved its beauty and peace. They are so peaceful that they would relive all the stress and pains.
If you plan to go to the north of the country, you’d better travel to unknown places such as Masal and Shanderman. The beautiful city in the province of Gilan with over 70,000 hectares of forests and pastures is a well-worth destination.
Masal is the second highest city in Gilan province. The first is Rudbar. It was once a district of the large city of Talesh and in 1376 it was converted into a city.
In the past it was called Rudkenar where the Shanbe Bazar is now held ( Shanbe Bazar is a kind of outdoor market working on Saturdays only). The famous market helped the small village of Rudkenar develop into a city. After that the official departments in Masal and Shanderman were first transferred to Bitem from Shanderman and then on to Masal.
No one would ever know the exact meaning of Masal but some believe that it is a combination of two words: Mazal and Mes Al which means something like a mountain.
Masal’s centerpieces are rivers that make the whole region beautiful. The main rivers are Khalkai in Masal and Rud Morghak in Shanderman. Khalkai originates in the315-meter peak of Shah Moallem and after 40 km it enters Masal. The rivers are great for riding kayaks and white water rafting. There is a park in the neighborhood of the Khalkai river where you can spend a nice day along with your family.
The plain area of Masal lies 50 km northwest of Rasht and 20 km west of Fuamn and Sumee Sara. It’s not extremely cold in winter. The humidity is high and reaches 75% sometimes. It is the highest in Shahrivar (September) and you are recommended not to visit then.

OMG Trip 4: Iran - Golpaygan
Hi, yesterday we moved to town Golpaygan in Isfahan province which is 350km south from Tehran. Masood, our Iranian friend, invited us to his home to spend time with his familly and see some non touristic parts of Iran.
First time we also ate sweet lemon. Just cut out little hole on the top, squize and drink it.
In centre of Golpaygan town you can find minaret which is about 1000 years old and is 20m high. In past there were two type of door knockers, one for women and one for men and they knew who is coming.
Filip bought non - alcoholic beer, anyway you can´t find any alcohol in shops, it is forbidden.
Tea can´t be missing at any place. Everytime with us in car.
Masood´s mom prepeared for us delicious food...chicken with rice that was flavoured with red currants....traditional kebab from Golpaygan that they used to eat with fruit similar to lemon. They have ayran as well called DUK with mint.
In Golpaygan surroundings there is the oldest modern dam which was opened by Iranian king 70 years ago.
