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.

The Shahid Abbaspour Dam سد شهید عباسپور, formerly known as Great Reza Shah Dam سد رضاشاه کبیر before 1979 Revolution, is a large arch dam providing hydroelectricity from the Karun River رودخانه كارون; it is located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) northeast of Masjed Soleiman مسجد سليمان, in the province of Khuzestan استان خوزستان, Iran, and originally completed in 1976, and formerly named Reza Shah Kabir Dam.

The dam was the first of a series of dams planned for development on the Karun River رودخانه كارون.

The dam is a double-curvature concrete arch dam, 200 metres (660 ft) high from the foundation rock. Its crest width is 6 metres (20 ft). The arch dam design was chosen for the narrow, rocky gorge where it is located. The double-curvature arch design withstands the pressure created by the reservoir with a minimum of concrete, because the shape transmits the force of the reservoir downward and laterally, against the rock foundation; this has the effect of strengthening the dam concrete and its foundation by keeping it in compression.

The dam site houses two power stations, one built in 1976 and another built in 1995. Each contains four water turbines connected to electric generators of 250 megawatts (340,000 hp), for a combined generating capacity of 2,000 megawatts (2,700,000 hp). The dam's electrical output is connected to the national electrical grid, with most generation occurring during periods of peak demand for electricity.

Iran - Masuleh Mountain Village

Masuleh has a unique architecture of interconnected houses: the yard of a house is the roof of the house below. After arriving through the mountains we see examples of Irani bread baking and typical Iranian doors.

We visited Iran on our overland trip from the Netherlands to South Africa and South America; see our channel for hundreds of clips.
