Top 10 Places to Visit in Iran - Travel Documentary

Iran is one of the world’s most beautiful and interesting countries, and an eye-opening travel destination. From mesmerizing desert landscapes to the shores of the Persian Gulf. From the ruins of Persepolis to the modern streets of Tehran. From charming mountain villages to lively historic bazaars.
Today’s Iran is a complicated, intriguing, but also a fascinating place, with some of the most welcoming and curious people you will ever meet. I traveled through Iran in 2013, and in this video I take you back to 10 favorite places that I visited.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start this journey in Esfahan, one of Iran’s most beautiful and friendliest cities, attracting tourists and travelers from afar. It is filled with captivating monuments, historic buildings, tranquil gardens, museums, and in general provides a great introduction to daily life in Iran.
After Esfahan, we travel to Kerman, a city on the fringes of the desert. It is most popular for what lies outside the city, the remains of the ‘Arg’ (an ancient citadel), and the small town of Rayen with its beautiful gardens and shrine. Not far from here are the Kaluts, some of Iran’s most spectacular desert scenery. These places are best reached by private vehicle, as public transport here is limited.
Iran has a long coastline and several island, the largest of which is Qeshm, in the Persian Gulf. This island is relatively underdeveloped and retains much of its traditional characteristics. It’s a great way to get an insight into local Bandari culture, and to witness some of the local economy at work, including agriculture, fishing, and the construction of classic ‘lenge’ boats.
Shiraz is regarded as the center of Persian culture for the last two millennia, and has some of the country’s most beautiful ancient bazaars and historic mosques. It’s also home for the tombs of Hafez and Sa’di, two poets that hold a special place in Iranian society and literature. The ruins of Persepolis, just outside Shiraz, evoke images of a thriving ancient Persia, and should not be missed.
The next destination is Tehran, the bustling capital city, and beating economic heart, of Iran. As the most secular and liberal city in the country, it’s the best place to learn about modern Iran. Qom, on the other hand, is one of the conservative ‘strongholds’ in the country, and provides an interesting contrast with Tehran.
We travel further to Kandovan, a beautiful mountain village where some of the houses are carved out of eroded rocks. It’s near Tabriz, the final destination in the video, famous for its magnificent bazaar.

The problem isn’t the beauty of the country, or its people but the regime which can target foreigners for no reason. So many westerners are languishing in Iran’s prison for no good reason.

The best travel documentary film-maker on KZbin. You're an inspiration, Stef, you really are. It's wonderful being able to see places through your camera lens that I will never be able to see in my lifetime. Chick Corea paid homage to Isfahan many years ago! The track 'Isfahan' on Al DiMeola's 'Splendido Hotel' album is beautiful and very evocative. The Persians were very active traders in Thailand during the Ayuthaya period and the Bunnag dynasty, which was started by Persian traders, was one of the most influential families in Thailand. I've heard the food is really good in Iran and those kebabs looked delicious. As ever, a fantastic video!

I'm from Japan, and thank you very much for sharing your documentary video. I really enjoyed seeing rich culture and the grandeur of nature all over Iran. In Japan, there is a famous Iranian actress called Ms. Sahel Rosa, and she recommends us to visit Iran someday in the future. Until then, I'm learning Persian little by little!

Glad to read that, thanks for sharing!

In the past seven months, I've been immersing myself in the Bakhtiari culture, exploring their cuisine and lifestyle, and I've completely fallen in love with what I've seen. Although I've traveled to 84 countries, I haven't yet visited Iran. As an American-Armenian born in Lebanon, I deeply wish to travel to Iran and Turkey, where my parents were born, and definitely India as well! I am intrigued about Iran and your culture 🙏

Iran is on my bucket list.

[@AliRzv313]

thank you for this well presented video, i realy enjoyed it my friend. by the way at 7:38 by saying "the gulf" you meant "the PERSIAN gulf" right?!😎 iranians are very strict and sensitive about its name and it's realy realy important for them....just saying 😉

[@stefhoffer]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Yes, I definitely meant the Persian Gulf :)

[@TheNejadfard]

Although I am from Tabriz, unfortunately, The North and its beautiful forests, as well as the Caspian Sea and Alborz mountains, are less represented by adventurers and KZbinrs these days, and I am trying to figure out why. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing the video to relive the atmosphere in Iranian cities.

[@stefhoffer]

Thanks a lot for your input, much appreciated. I would love to come back to Iran and visit some of the places you mentioned. Best wishes :)

This video is simply breathtaking! 🌟 From the ancient ruins of Persepolis to the vibrant streets of Tehran, it showcases the best of Iran's rich history and diverse landscapes. The architectural wonders of Esfahan and the enchanting island of Qeshm left me in awe. The warmth and hospitality of the Iranian people shine through, making this journey unforgettable. Thank you for opening my eyes to the beauty of Iran and inspiring me to explore its hidden treasures. I can't wait to embark on my own adventure! 🌍✨

[@stefhoffer]

I hope you can travel there yourself in the future. Thank you for your comment filled with kind words :)
