Tehran
I was born and raised in Tehran, leaving in 1976 to pursue graduate studies in the USA. Tehran, the bustling capital of Iran, is a dynamic metropolis that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. Navigating its vibrant streets reveals a rich tapestry of culture. From the majestic Golestan Palace, with its stunning gardens and opulent architecture, to contemporary art showcased in galleries across the city, there’s something for everyone. The vibrant Grand Bazaars, filled with colorful textiles and fragrant spices, invite exploration, while the culinary scene offers everything from traditional Persian dishes to modern fusion cuisine. No visit to Tehran is complete without taking in the panoramic views from the Milad Tower or the Tochal Mountain ski resort, both offering a perfect contrast to the urban landscape. With its rich history, thriving culture, and warm hospitality, Tehran provides an unforgettable experience for every traveler.
