Coming to Iran just to look at old buildings is like going to a restaurant just to smell the food.

Iran is an ancient IDEA shared by myriad of cultures co-existing on a vast, breathtakingly beautiful land spread over half-a-dozen unique climate zones.

And all this remains largely unknown to outsiders! Every one of our escapes from the city to the countryside feels like a brand-new mission of discovery.

The only thing that remains a constant is the baffling optimism and generosity of people totally unafraid to shower the stranger with affection.

(Also continuously facing the chasm between what Iran is really like and what the world thinks of it is exhausting! So we made this website. )
