  • We are cycling towards Iran’s Central Plateau via Hamadan and Saveh. In the capital Tehran we have to extend our visa. Later we continue southeast, passing the holy city and hotspot of the Islamic revolution Qom, and reach the desert city of Kashan by the end of June.
    We take you with us on a bicycle journey around the world and show it how we see it. We hope to inspire more people to go on great adventure themselves or if they can't, to get a sense of ours.
    We spend a huge amount of time, effort and money on creating our content, so every contribution is helping us to continue our project a little while longer.

    Many mosques in Iran were originally Zoroastrian fire temples or Zoroastrian places of worship. Unfortunately, after the Arab invasion of Iran, they were converted into Islamic mosques. Many people in Iran, especially the younger generation, choose their religion of their own free will, as Cyrus the Great pointed out in his statement that everyone is free to choose their religion.

      Well, as we see it, mainstream news focus on issues that are of general interest to large groups of people. We are generally under the impression that what they show is indeed the case, but of course, there are many topics (e.g. the hospitality of Iranians) that are of less interest to many. This can easily create a bias in perception. However, we have no reason to assume the issues we were concerned about from the information we had is not accurate. Iran is, in some ways, indeed a far more dangerous place for tourists than most countries. If not very careful, one can get into very serious trouble easily, even without wrongdoing.

    I really like your videos. Im from Iran. About that translator woman in holy shrine of Qom, I have to say she is lying. they are religious and according to them non muslim bodies are forbidden to touch (najes) which means if they enter in mosques and religious places, muslims cant pray there. Yes, religious people see non muslim people like "unclean" en terms of religion. Thats why they dont let tourists enter in mosques where muslims pray. I think you should know about it. And of course, only 20% of iranian people are religious and think like, people who are in favour of government. As you have seen many iranian are not muslim and every year there are less muslims in Iran, especially young people.

      We are so lucky to both have the German passport, which is among the strongest in the world. Iran was the first country where we needed a visa. We applied online through an agency (20$ per person extra) for the tourist e-visa and got it within a week or so.
      Most countries have fairly generous visa exemption policies with Germany. However, we got a 60 days e-visa (including GBAO permit) for Tajikistan (direct no agency) which also took about one week, just to have more than the 30 free days in Tajikistan.
      To be fair, for the most part we did not cross countries where visa are a major issue, at least for the German passport.
      But of course, we usually have a general idea about the upcoming months, and check what is necessary. There are countries that are an absolute pain in the ass, or impossible (especially in Africa), but for us the most annoying visa to get was China. Also, the situation changes permanently. If we would start now, it would be easier, and we would take a different route...
