Advantages: Amazing variety of things you really won't see anywhere else Disadvantages: Best avoided in the summer months - this is seriously HOT and dry
Yazd?
It's my guess that you are probably NOT thinking 'Hmm, Yazd, that sounds familiar' because to date I don't think I've met anyone who hasn't been to Iran (or thought of going) who's even heard of this fabulous city. It might ring some bells if I mentioned that it was historically known by the rather more glamorous name of Ysatis - yes, as in the perfume by Givenchy. You can't help thinking that when the marketing people at one of France's leading fragrance houses sat down to brainstorm new names, they probably weren't thinking of women in chadors when they came up Ysatis.
If I were to categorise the cities of Iran in terms of touristic appeal, cities like Esfahan and Shiraz would be the giants of Iranian tourism, Massad and Om the famous centres of religious pilgrimage tourism and poor old Yazd would be the sort of place ...

Advantages: Good central location, quality furnishings Disadvantages: Nothing significant - overheated rooms perhaps
In November 2006 I took a two-week tour to Iran and totally fell in love with the country. On my return I started a new job in a different part of the country and subsequently failed to write most of the reviews I'd intended to knock out when I got back. Having misplaced my note book all that time, I was really chuffed to find it again and so be able to write a few more reviews about this great country. So recognising the risk that inspiration or my notebook will desert me again, I thought I'd better start with one of the most wonderful cities - Esfahan - and the best hotel of our tour - the Ali Qapu.
Iranian Hotels
I hope they'll forgive me for saying it, but the Iranian hotel industry is a bit weird. Up until the overthrow of the Shah, Persia was a pretty great place to visit - lots of fun to be had, some of the best ...
Advantages: Fabulous people, fascinating things to see Disadvantages: Headscarves, awful food, expensive visas
ceased and Peugeot 206s are very popular. Many of the cars are kept together by prayer and filler. We strongly suspect that getting a driving licence in Iran is like getting a TV licence in the UK.
~ E is for Esfehan ~
One of the most beautiful cities on earth. Visitors will be exposed frequently to the famous quote 'Esfahan is half the world' - not that anyone seems too sure what that's supposed to mean but the best guess seems to be that half of everything worth seeing in the world is in Esfahan. It's home to the Imam Square - the world's second largest square (after Tianamen) which is ten times bigger than St Mark's in Venice and so pretty it makes your eyes water. Add to this some stunning palaces and museums, some mosques that have withstood 800 years of all that earthquakes and Scud missiles could throw at them and you've got ...
