One of the stages of our motorbike journey came to an end yesterday. And that was a trip to Iran.<\/b> Unfortunately, there exist tight restrictions on the use of the Internet in this country and Facebook is generally blocked, so I couldn't post my notes in real time. However, I will try to describe my impressions as post-factum.
\nIn general, in the Internet you can find very little information about the Islamic Republic of Iran from those who have traveled around it on their own. And this country definitely has got something to offer you!
\nOn the very first day after crossingthe border between Azerbaijan and Iran we stayed overnight in a hotel in Tehran.
\nThe next day was fully dedicated to observing the capital. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nTehran is a huge metropolis. When I think of a city that I can compare it with, I would choose Istanbul from all the capitals of the world I have been to. But Tehran is even cooler! It is populated by 11 million people (and add three million visitors). The oriental flavour is just in the air. We saw domes of Shiite mosques that have two minarets, old buildings of oriental architecture side by side with modern glass and concrete ones, street markets, women in headscarves and black capes (burqas). We also experienced the crazy traffic on the roads, which defies any logic. (I will provide you a separate chapter about traffic regulations in Iran and the way they are followed). Everything is very unusual and interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n
