Unseen Beautiful Pictures from Iran and Tehran

Unseen Beautiful Pictures from Iran and Tehran

If you place politics aside you will find that this is a fascinating, amazing world which is rarely shown in its true light. In my humble opinion, people should learn to appreciate the natural beauty and historical customs no matter where they are located or where they originated from.

The landscape of Iran is diverse, providing a range of activities from hiking and skiing in the Alborz mountains, to beach holidays by the Persian Gulf and theCaspian Sea. Over the next five years a number of tourism-friendly infrastructure projects will be undertaken on the Persian Gulf island of Kish, which at present attracts around 1m visitors per year, the majority of whom are Iranian.^[2]

Before the Iranian revolution and the subsequent Iran–Iraq War, tourism was characterized by significant numbers of visitors traveling to Iran for its diverse attractions, boasting cultural splendours and a diverse and beautiful landscape suitable for a range of activities.^[2] Tourism declined dramatically during the Iran–Iraq War in the 1980s.

Since the Iranian revolution in 1979, the majority of visitors to Iran have been religious pilgrims and businesspeople.^[2] Official figures do not distinguish between those travelling to Iran for business and those coming for pleasure, and they also include a large number of diaspora Iranians returning to visit their families in Iran or making pilgrimages to holy Shia sites near Mashhad and elsewhere.^[2] Domestic tourism in Iran is one of the largest in the world.^[3] Despite the international tensions, the government continues to project strong rises in visitor numbers and tourism revenue over the forecast period, and to talk of projects to build an additional 100 hotels, for example, to expand its currently limited stock.^[2]In 2011, the number of foreign tourists in Iran reached 3 million, contributing more than $2 billion to the national economy.^[4] The strong devaluation of the Iranian Rial since early 2012 is also a positive element for tourism in Iran.
