EXPLORING INCREDIBLE ISFAHAN | Iran: We show you our favourite spots in this beautiful city!

We have left Iran now but travelled in the country at the beginning of September 2022 before protests and civil unrest began in Tehran on 16 September 2022 following to the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. Our thoughts are with the people of Iran during this time and we feel incredibly thankful to have visited and experienced the amazing hospitality and culture of Iran as New Zealanders.
In this episode we visit the beautiful and famous city of Isfahan, Iran.
Thanks for watching! :)

Just to contribute a little here if I may. The large square called Nakshe-Jahan or Meydaneh shah (Kings square) is the second largest square in the world only to Tiananmen square in China. As well as a royal residency it was created to be a functional establishment; hence arches and alleyways around the square where handicrafts were created, displayed and skills passed on to next generation of craftsmen and women even to this day. It is widely believed that the sport Polo was derived from Persia and hence was a favourite sport amongst Persian Kings. The large pool in the middle of the square with fountains actually used to be a Polo field those days where the King and his guests used to watch Polo matches. Personally I have visited that square and there's something magical about it. In a way it's people's square.

11:52 here is a tip for “Doogh” and “Kabab”; Doogh is simply mixture of herbs, salt and yogurt. It’s completely original to Iranian culture. We usually drink it with the food, and I recommend to mix it well before drinking it. for the Kabab, I recommend to mix rice with butter and cooked tomatoes. Now you will fill your spoon with mixed rice with a little kebab on top and eat it. And then you may take sip of Doogh. 😊

[@MichelMrz]

Can those sweets are for after the food probably with tea

[@HK-uq9by]

ترکیه هم داره و کشورهای آسیای میانه تا مغولستان همه دوغ و کباب دارند.

[@MichelMrz]

@@HK-uq9by another Iranian-Turk who love to express Turkish involvement in everything; it's like saying everywhere you can find pizza or cola. The origins of kabab koobideh and doogh can be traced back to ancient Persia. where grilling meat was a common cooking method. The practice of mincing meat and mixing it with spices to create kababs has been refined over centuries in Iran over the span of 2500 years of history. same for doogh, originating as a way to preserve and consume yogurt (mast) in a more liquid form. The practice of mixing yogurt with water and herbs has been documented in Persian culture for centuries. Similar to kabab koobideh, doogh's creation cannot be pinned to a specific individual but is rather a product of the collective culinary heritage of Iran.

[@ashiqhussain6956]

Naqsh e Jahan Naqsh means imprint and Jahan means world ...... So much misunderstood, misinterpreted, and underrated country. Iran and its people deserve way more than they are depicted especially in Western world. I always looked upon this country as in bucket list. And soon I will visit. Love and respect from Pakistan to our neighbours and brethren Muslim country. I deliberately used word muslim because of some background context which you might be missing stainers. Otherwise I love humanity most of all and we are all brothers and sisters because we share common trait and that is humanity. Love you Steiners for showing us Iran.

Thanks very much 😊
