Bicycle Touring Central IRAN - The Persian Heartlands
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- 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.

Iam from morocco 🇲🇦 i just want to say that iran is a great civilisation and its people are respectful and hospitable
Agreed 👍
You should visit Iran. You welcome
Iran on our local news : Iran is Dangerous, Iran Unsafe Country etc etc But UA-cam never lies !!! Beatifful People, Amazing Hospitality, Tnx for all your Iran Vlogs so far !! Greetings from the Netherlands
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.
Thanks for your compliments ❤ hope people from all over the world come to Iran and enjoy it
Iranian people appear so lovely and helpful. It's a lesson to us all. Thank you for making those videos.
@alafenetre81 Iran was in many ways an exceptional experience.
God bless you...
Stay blessed in Iran...
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰..
Thank you!

Guys you are amazing, there is something different about your videos, very authentic. Also love the fact you put information and political enlightenment in such a tasteful way. Much love and best of luck to you guys. با أرزوی بهترینها براتون ❤
Thank you! We always try to be respectful, but of course we have to tell the whole story.
amazing hospitality - what people ! God Bless-from Ireland ..thank's for the inspiration 🙂.
The hospitality of Iranians is unmatched 🙌 😍
Love to Irland ❤
it's good to see some tourists understand reality!
Thanks ☺️
Super fascinating! I had a dream about Iran last night. All morning I've been studying up on it. Thanks for the video!
Our pleasure. Iran has been the most interesting country of our journey. You might be interested in the other episodes, which offer a glimpse into the great diversity of the country.
🥹 I’m so blessed that so many people are interested in real Iran and Iranian.
ملت ایران چه آذری چه کرد چه بلوچ ولر وعرب وغیره همه ایرانی هستیم خوب به لهجه ها وزبان های متفاوتی صحبت می کنیم ولی ما یک ملتیم وهمه جای ایران خانه ی همه ی ماست
Lovely episode, as usual!
Yay, thank you!
thanks for coming to Iran and show the hospitality of Iranian people ,from America that been gone from my home for long time
Our pleasure!
I love that you also refle ting some aspects of political issues of Iran ❤
Thanks. Many people do not like that for several reasons. However, it seems wrong to us not talking about the problems we can see and feel.
Awesome video as always guys. Great to see you getting more subscribers, views, comments and likes. Feel the love :) Jay
Thanks, Jay. We do, mostly 😅 Hope you're doing well!
I'm from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 I hope see you in my beautiful country
We couldn't make it this time, but hopefully, one day in the future. Be safe!
I love tehran. ❤❤❤😢 I burn here. Soon I’m there again ❤❤❤ thx to showing the real Iran ❤
It is beautiful to see Iran from you both with the special local music ❤ For me it is the mazing to see Iran after 40 years.
Thanks for appreciating!
Amazing content! Do you have any video showing the things you carry (Apart from the equipment listed at your website)? I'm amazed at how light you guys travel
Can’t help but falling in love with the people of Iran! ☺️ I used to have a lady from Iran at work and she was so warm and willing to share. This warmth is well represented in your videos🙏🏼
I got a bit worried when you got sick Matthias. Due to a very negative experience in the past I knew it can have a big impact when you get seriously sick in a country like Iran😧
Looking forward to the next video. I always write that but I mean it!
I’ll go and check if that PayPal option still works 😄 Stay healthy and stay safe 🙏🏼
Thanks Don, as always ☺️
Don't worry, so far Mathias got sick many times, but I didn't get rid of him yet 🤣
The next episode is probably our favorite one of Iran 😉
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour So he’s a sticky stubborn bad boy and very very VERY hard to get rid off 😂
Looking forward to the next one. Hopefully it doesn’t take so long☺️
Unfortunately, it will be another 3 weeks, but it is going to be a long one again 😅
What a nice music in last part mixeing classic and techno

Bonjour, je suis iranien et merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé cette expérience avec le monde pour que tout le monde sache que l'Iran n'est pas celui qui vous voyez dans les médias, l'Iran c'est c'est magnifique avec un peuple incroyablement accueillant , merci encore et je vous souhaite les meilleurs ❤
Thank you. We really appreciate hearing that, especially since you are Iranian!
The Europeans like desert and think that Persia is a place like desert,but it's wrong that the heartland of Persia is mountain of zagzros and fars province and it's not desert ,actually a climate like Italy or Greece and snowy mountains and green landscape and a four seasons place.good luck and enjoy your trip.
Thanks ☺️ Yes, Iran's landscape is extremely diverse, just like the country itself.
So bold of you to bice to isfahan in summertime ❤
Let’s call it what it was. Stupid 🤣 But we’re glad we did it!
Another absolutely stunning video! So wonderful to see not just the historical places, but the beautiful people you meet every day. Take care.
Thank you 😊 Will do!
amazing footage!
Glad you enjoyed it. The following episode will be even better 😎
Thanks for showing. It's great to see other cultures
Thanks for watching! Iran has plenty 😀
Thanks for all videos you’ve made. I wish I knew you were in Tehran, and invited you to stay with us and show more of Tehran.
Maybe one day!
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour This will be an honor
May the wind be at your back 🌹❤️🌹
Always 🤗
This is an amazing video, keep up!
Thank you 😊
What a great video! Nice shooting and filming and a very simple but suitable editing!
I enjoy your videos so much!
Love you from Iran!
Thanks a lot. Glad you like the style.
You are two beautiful souls and I wish you well to continue touring around my beautiful country. Thanks for acquiring accurate information about the places and the people you visit. You know where to blur the videos and where to cut them off to protect people's identity and safety. You are amazing and thoughtful. All the best on your next journeys ...
Thank you so much! Obviously, we put a lot of consideration into keeping everyone safe. We hope to see the day when this is no longer a concern.
Im from Hamedan, so sad I couldn't see you guys here
Maybe another time 😉
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour I can't wait🤗
Thanks guys! It was really an amazing videodocumentation. I send you love and kisses❤
Thanks Arman 😊
Writing this comment in Shiraz. I'm also cycling in Iran ar this moment.
Great respect you keep cycling at 40C plus. It's so hot when I's heading to Yazd. I drank probably 9 to 10 litres of liquid a day. I's sweating faster than I could consume water.
Man i live near shiraz and today we hit 50C
Just trying to survive😂
Many locals go to the Qalat village to eacape the heat. A waterfall and forest in a desert like region is almost magical.@mschanandlerbongofficial
That is brutal 🥵😱
Thanks .
Persian is the official language of Iran spoken by 98% and the native tongue of 60% of the population ,spoken by practically everyone in Iran.
Its the largest linguistic group in Iran and the largest Iranic language ,about 80% of the country speak Iranian languages close to Persian and 18 % turkic , 2 Arabic and others include Armenian ( indo-European as Persian) and Assyrian. Source : all official accounts including UNITED NATIONS .
Oh we know that. What we meant was that from our route entering from Armenia, we crossed regions with a majority of Turkic and Kurdish speakers first. So, in that sense, Farsi is the third language for us in Iran. That is pretty impressive. Not many countries have so many different cultures and languages!
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour Iran is not an ethno-state like most european countries. It is like India an old civilization and empire by different ethnicities. And although In the Azari and Kudish region the local language is Azari and Kurdish butyou can do all your business in Persian as well. Also in the Persian areas that you mention there exist many local languages. As someone mentioned most of these languages are Indo-Iranian Languages, but some like Azari o Arabic are not.
I am glad you focus around riding a bicycle and do not interfere in the politics of every country you are visited ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍
lol 😂 literally first words of both were political statements hahah about religion and head cover 😂
In that sense, almost everything can be interpreted as a political statement. Giving that notion to the free expression of opinion is, in many cases, a strategy to discredit what was said.
We are from countries with freedom of expression and free press, so not speaking our mind about anything openly at any time would feel very wrong to us.
To interfere with the politics of countries seems like a pretty wild thing to do.
We speak our mind freely, always. However, some people are not used (or not allowed) to it and might see this differently.
so amozing
Is there any chance you could either include some information about how you obtain the various visas in each segment, or do a video explaining the approach you took for your visas for the complete route?
We could totally do an episode on it eventually. However, that might take a while, as we are so badly behind with our videos anyways. So if you have a concrete question, feel free to ask!
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour No, nothing specific. I was just curious as to how you plan and execute visa applications, etc, on the move, especially with countries that have short windows.
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...
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour Thank you. Very informative.
love your videos
Thanks a lot 😃

Hallo! Just following your videos for a week. I should say I’m enjoying to see how you travel the world and especially the way you react to the people in Iran. You rarely can find such people all over the world with this extent of hospitality and friendship. The noble and modest people who have kept their honor under any circumstances. Enjoy visiting Iran. Nice traditional Iranian music in the background though ❤👍🤞🤞
Thanks for tagging along and appreciating our work 😊
Regarding the lady who said you will act "strangely" in the shrine, I have to remind you that most of us Iranians think they are the ones who behave "strangely". Have a wonderful time!
She is a muslim karen
We call them fati comandos😂
That might very well be the case. However, we assume that the concern is that we irritate believers in their worshipping. In any case, that still was a first for us.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour Dorud bar shoma! Some worship the truth, and some worship the power! The latter will use every opportunity to show their so-called dominance. The first will take you in like a family member, and show you “the truth”! I am confident you will see more of the first group in your travels.
Kudos to both of you for travelling such long distances by bicycle! Please take care of yourself in the heat. Payande bashid!
Interesting! We rarely ever had the feeling that someone tried to convince us to become Shia, even though some of our hots clearly were fairly devout believers. However, I am a very hard sell. To convince me any god would have to show up in person, no less ;-)
The heat was quite the challenge indeed as you will see in the coming episodes...
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour Happy to hear that! I am glad you made it! Let us know if any god shows up in person. Maybe one of them sees this comment :D
I was surprised when you exchaged 100 Euros and got big anount of Jranian Rial . Looks you can buy everything with 500 Euros . Super cheap and crazy place .
Stuff that is produced in Iran is mostly very cheap if you’re not Iranian, yes.
Very nice .. iran beautiful
It is!
Welcome
I dont who has chosen the musics of the videos, but they are just perfect.
Our Iranian friends did send us a lot of music for us to choose from 😉
Excellant video
Glad you liked it!

as a Iranian i want to thank you for showing the world truth about my country and our people. thank you for everything. i hope you visit my city Mashhad too i would be happy to be your host for a day and showing you around . you can visit imam reza shrine our 8 imam and brother of lady masooma that you visited her shrine in Qom. i would be happy if i can contact you ❤
That is very kind of you. This time our way led us south, but we hope to be able to visit Iran again in the future!
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour i hope so my friend. i would be very happy to be your host

Kashan has a lot of distilleries that get rose water from the flowers. You missed out on going there but if you go to Shiraz they have a lot distilleries and gardens as well
Thanks, yes, we know. We do not always film everything. Sometimes, we want to enjoy without the pressure of creating content 😅 We also visited some impressive houses in Kashan!
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour well good on you. That’s a very smart decision, I hoped you enjoyed those places
I would like to invite you to Bushehr, but it is very hot there...travel to Yasuj and Shahrekord on the way, there is good weather at this time of the year.
That is so kind of you. However, we did go Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz, and Bandar Abbas. It was very hot 🔥 😅
You guys are legends! I'm from Iran but cycling through deserts of Isfahan in those extremely dangerous roads, I can't even think about. I hope Mattias get well very soon
that is safe. but the roads are fucking inexhaustible.
Thank you. I was fine two days later. It was probably mainly exhaustion. From Isfahan we then went east to Yazd 😅
To be honest, Iran has comparably good roads. The trucks can be a little terrifying though 😅
Great journey! Would have been beautiful if Iranians could bike in Germany and get visa and get hosted and get help that easily 😃🤗
Hopefully we will see that day. However, Iranian hospitality is unmatched, at least in our experience 😅
you guys need to go to Yazd, and after to te small city Mehriz and later on to Madbar, you will anjoy Madvar
We did cycle to Yazd 😅 However, we took a short break from filming, so we do not have footage between Yazd and Chahak.
Ich bin Iraner und denke, dass Iran sehr schön ist. Im Moment ist es im Iran jedoch sehr warm, und Fahrradfahren ist auch sehr schwierig. Im April ist es besser als jetzt. Es ist nicht zu kalt und nicht zu warm! Iranische Menschen sind sehr freundlich. Es gibt einen Unterschied zwischen den iranischen Menschen und der Regierung des Irans. Deshalb glaube ich, dass die ganze Welt den Iran besser kennenlernen sollte.
Ja, das sehen wir auch so.
Wir wären gerne schon im Spätherbst in den Iran gekommen, dann wäre das Klima optimal gewesen. Wir hatten trotz Problemen mit der Hitze eine wundervolle Zeit im Iran!
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour Es ist wunderbar, dass ich das hören kann. Ich wäre sehr gespannt, wenn wir uns im Iran treffen könnten. Aber das war nicht möglich. Also hoffe ich, dass es beim nächsten Mal klappt und wir uns treffen können.
اگه تو سکوت کنی کسی نمیگه لال هستی 😂😂😂😂😂
Tnx for coming to my city Tehran.. but i wish y'all could visit Iran international museum, ancient Persia section! that place is really worth to visit 😞
We believe so. Unfortunately, we can't see it all. Also, sometimes we don't film, so we have some days to enjoy without any pressure about producing footage 😉
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour 🤩🤩💙💙
Just want to say that you could definitely go inside but the lady is from minorities that are on regime side . Wish you have great time in IRan
Yeah, you are right. She made it very clear where she stood politically 😅
Best wishes for you guys..👍👍❤
Thank you 🙌
You missed out on seeing many places in Hamedan.
Such as Ali Sadr Cave and historical sites dating back to the Median period, which is about 3000 years ago.
We actually saw the ancient sites in the city center, but our footage did not turn out very well. We couldn't make the cave, but as cyclists, we have to accept that we can't see it all 😅
Please come to rasht
We would love to, but we already left the country 😅
Take care guys. Mattias please be strong.
God bless you.
Thanks. I'm fine now. 🙂 It was probably just exhaustion from the intense heat and physical workout.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour
I'm so glad you're okay. Have a safe trip.
I want both of you to definitely go to Kish Island, there the clothing for girls and boys is optional, if you don't believe, watch the videos of Kish Island from 2023 until now.
We know that Kish has a special status and that it is a beautiful island, but we couldn't make it this time.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour If you come to Iran again, be sure to go to Kish Island and Gilan in the north of Iran, you will not regret it. Iranian people are the most hospitable people in the world.❤️❤️
Of course you can go inside the shrine the lady just said her opinion. Very disappointed when she said tourist can't go inside, when indeed they can.
Some people just want to ruin things for others
She was our official guide, so obviously, we took her word for granted.
As the official guide we assumed she was stating the official policy.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour That is the reason, we don't like our government. 😅
They put in charge these minority group of people who they think their believes are on top of people and law.
Other than this I hope you enjoyed.✌😊
We understand that. For us, this was only a minor irritation, but we left it in the video as it was indeed unusual.
Gladly, there is plenty to see in Iran in any case 😉
Welcome to Great Persia iran land of Cyrus the Great

بچه ها اگر تو ایران هستید،من تهران هستم و خوشحال میشیم با همسرم میزبان شما باشیم

You missed many places on your way, especially Hamadan and Kashan
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your trip to Iran
Thanks. While we certainly can't see it all, we also visit places without shooting video 😉
in exchanges you can ask they transfer your money to your gift card to not carry all of that money by hand. just give the card number to them and get transfer verification
We asked exactly that, but were told that it is not possible to put money on that gift card. We had to bring cash to the bank to make gift cards.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour maybe true. it's not possible to transfer money with some bank's gift card. let me know if you are still in Iran and need any help (it's not Taarof 😄)
Thanks a lot, but we left Iran already 😉
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour I wish you best on your bike tour🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Khomini❤
Suit yourself.
but seriously it is the hottest days of year and you are going south which is hotter be careful don't be sick it was a better choice for you to go north first Ardebil Astara Rasht even Tehran and stay there and go south in 1 or 2 months
anyways rest a lot and stay hydrate
you are doing an amazing job
if need any help in Tehran I can be there
oh remember to visit shiraz and Persepolis beautiful city and ancient persia's empire
Agreed, but the footage is from one year ago. At the time, we could only leave to the UAE. You will see us suffer from extreme temperatures a lot in the upcoming episodes 😅
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour oh though its recently
if anytime you though of coming back to Iran north cities are heavenly beautiful (such as Lahijan , Namak Abrood , Rasht , Ramsar, Masole ,...)
I don't know if you went there or not but in south Qeshm island is a wonderful place especially in winter and it is close to UEA you can watch dolphins in Persian gulf and enjoy lots of places there
I think you are increasing your health risks by going through some of the hottest parts of Iran during the peak summer months. Take as much water and emergency phone numbers with you. Alternatively, bypass these areas during hot months on air conditioned trains or buses.
Thanks, John. You are absolutely correct. You will see us suffer quite a bit in the upcoming episodes 😅
I am just worried that if you get dizzy or faint in the heat, because you are so close to speeding vehicles and those scary trucks and buses, they may not have enough time to stop in case you fall off your bikes unto the roadway. Please be safe. Iran is a very large country where you can have all the four seasons at the same time in different parts; choose the cooler parts in the summer and visit the hot parts in the winter months.
We appreciate your concern and promise to always be careful. Also, we obviously always look out for each other!
For your information Farsi is official language and first language in Iran. 👍❤️🇮🇷
We know that and said so in previous episodes. You seem to have a misunderstanding. On our route, Farsi is the third major language we encountered after Turkic and Kurdish. Of course, those people could also speak Farsi, but mainly spoke their respective local language.
@AmazingWorldBikeTour : to be honest I don't trust you you're so suspicious the thing you said in this video most of them was lie and propaganda from main Media 🤔🙄
That is a wild claim, but I am sure you have evidence to back that up.
Shout out to that women
Women life freedom
We were very impressed by her. She must have seen that we have a camera rolling but decided to speak openly anyway.
@AmazingWorldBikeTour you know... law is law . What Europeans just say
عه پس اینو از اروپایی ها یاد گرفتین که دم به دقیقه ام تکرار میکنین تو صورت مردم و جلو دوربین ها.کارای دیگه اروپایی ها رو یکم یاد میگرفتید حقوق بشر،دموکراسی.مرگ بر خامنه ای لعنت بر خمینی
Hope mattiat get well very soon in this hot fuc.. days
Thank you, I am fine now 🙂 It was probably overly exhausted.
pls pls stay hydrated! wear sunglass and cover your full buddy. its frequently " High UV warring" these days in Iran! dont eat so much protien during day, dont eat food in restaurants in roads. eat nuts like almonds instead. again and agian stay HYDRATED! i wish you good and safe journey in iran but im worried about the weather these days... stay safe dudes! ♥u
Thank you so much. This is good advice! We try our best 😅
When is the next Episode?
In two weeks. We try to make a release every three weeks.
Welcome to Iran 🥰 enjoy your travel 💫 respect the rules plz 👌 ❤
Appreciated. Although the "respect the rules plz" is a bit weird. That never happened to us since we left school, but we read it a lot under our videos on Iran.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour of course, Europeans are really careful about rules I know 👌👏
Hope u be good now
I am, thanks 😊
Are you in Isfahan right now?
No, we are already out of Iran. Sorry 😅
The traffic and heat looked awful. No wonder he got overheated
Haha, well… it got a lot hotter. You will see soon in the coming episodes 😅
With nearly 90 million people in Iran there are many different political opinions. Beware the person who claims they can say what all Iranians think. Unfortunately society is very polarised.
Oh, we could clearly see that. But of course, everyone should be free to voice his or her opinion without fear.
@@OptimusPrime-bn8fk 50% voted in the round where Pezeshkian got a majority of the vote and even many of Ghalibaf supporters did too. Can you go in any street in the world and find people happy with their government?

Please exchange at exchanges, gold dealers are brokers
All the money exchanges, or sarafi, in Mashhad, Yazd and Shiraz are closed so far.
As @spektrumB pointed out, it is very hard to find money exchanges. However, we usually had a good experience with changing money with gold dealers throughout Iran.
Musics on background are so amazing.
But it's better that you don't choose the Arabic ones.
Thank you. We try really hard to use as much music from the country as possible!
ایرانی ها عرب نیستند
Guys, actually politics and religion are the most sensitive stuffs to talk about in Iran due to the variety of the thoughts and notions!
So I want make sure that you two don't bother yourselves even a little bit about those comments about Iranians preferable religion or politics!
All of the sayings are wrong and right at the same time!
Yes, of course. We think talking openly about issues is the only way to find better ways. Obviously, this is very challenging, and sometimes people have difficulties staying respectful and on point.
Man, you guys are brave!!!! I would never take a bicycle ride on those roads, and I am from there! very nice video!!!!
Haha, thanks. We did not start riding through Iranian deserts, though 😅
Be believe every reasonable healthy person can learn to do it!
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.
Thanks for your explanation. That is pretty much in line with what we experienced.
شهر زیرزمینی کاشان باید میرفتین از دوره قبل از اسلام هست دوران اشکانیان و ساسانیان❤
While we can't see everything we also visit some places without filming. Sometimes, we need a little free time 😅
I'm so sad she didn't let you in the shrine, uhhhh
Yeah, well. It was very unexpected. Gladly, there is a lot to see in Iran.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour yeah but each place has its unique vibe, you know🥲.
Respecting the culture where you go is respecting yourself
Well said. Exactly what we try to do every day!
I wasn’t going to say anything as your English is perfect and we all know what you mean but you said this a few times now. So, in English there is a difference between a shadow and shade. A shadow has a shape. It is the dark that an object casts. Focus is on the object which does something (cast a shadow). But shade is the black dark area. No focus on shape or the object casting it. So you look for and find yourself in shade not shadow. What created the shade is not relevant. You could be in the shadow of an object though but there the emphasis is on the object. You could be in a shadow of a tree or you could be in shade. You are not in a shade of a tree and you are never in a shadow.
Haha, yes. I know, Arev pointed this out to me many times. However, the German language has no distinction between shadow and shade, so I keep making the same mistakes 😅
the money exchange rate is changing these days (rial's worth is rising) because of new president elected recently , it will be lower lower too in upcoming days better to exchange as much as you need
Thanks for the tip. However, we are not in Iran anymore 😉
Also that is not islamic architecture as it originates to Sassanid period, the mosques are transformed Temples with the same architecture almost!
While many, if not most, elements might have been appropriated from before Islam was brought to Iran, we think this is splitting hairs. Most, if not all, of the mosques we've seen were built long after the end of the Sassanid Empire. They look very different from mosques in other Muslim countries we've seen and, as such, are easily distinguishable from other countries' religious building styles.
Actually we are not celebrating that ... Most of the time its one of only free days so we go to visit other cities with family or just relax in home watching TV.... Besides norooz some thing around 99 percent of our holiday's are connected to Khomeini and Islam and Dominated by the regime so its mostly like we have no other choices and no other free days for go to vacation or being with our family 😅
Makes total sense. Thanks for explaining!
Love your bike touring. Then seemingly a little "off" on political analytics or opinions.
Why do you think so? Plenty of Iranians are of the opinion the we pretty much nailed it.

We visited many places in and close to the old town. There also was an impressive traditional house, which we visited but did not film.
Hello, I am Iranian and I want to tell you about veiling and hijab in Iran. After 2022, the Iranian police will be afraid of people and will no longer tell people, especially women, to wear Islamic clothes. Right now, if you watch the videos of the cities of Tehran and Kish Island on UA-cam you understand❤❤❤
Of course, all of Iran police are afraid of women, not only Tehran and Kish Island
While we would wish that this would be the full picture, it is not the impression we got. Obviously, we saw some women not covering their heads in public, but these we comparably rare and localized observations. Some streets in Tehran or the special status island Kish seem more like an exception to the general situation, at least when we were in the country.
In any case, we wish for freedom of expression for everyone in the world.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour When did you come to Iran?
Pretty much exactly one year ago. Shortly before leaving it was announced that the morality police would start patrolling again, and since we read about several instances when they took action. Of course, we also hear messages about very courageous women, but it seems to us that in most places they still need to fear very negative consequences for not wearing a headscarf.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour Well, the authorities of Iran's government feel strongly that they have fallen and are forced to accept the people's demands. Currently, there is no morality police. You can watch new Iranian movies on the channel (Reza and Mahsa Travelers).❤️❤️❤️
