IRAN IMPRESSION

"Stories of long ago, past ancient times

are a good word for the people of the future,

let a person know and know without embellishment

different destinies and learn from them.

Let him examine what pleases the human race,

what benefits him or what destroys him,

which is his ruin, by which he has been sinning for a long time

and what order follows for him.

Even these fables are such a good word,

which from long ago comes to our aid,

they come in fairy tale clothes

and they are called: One thousand and one nights."

By reading these stories, we will be transported to the mythical Orient, where the beautiful Shahrazad and King Shahrijar lived in their time. What Orient is it? What does the country where she came from look like? Thousands of these tales come from Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Central Asia and Persia.

The magical spirit of the Orient beckoned me from a young age, and the landscape hidden behind silk scarves and colorful mosaics was just waiting to be discovered. My knowledge of Iran was only general before my trip. You read a few travelogues, study the basic points of history, and look at a map to get a basic overview. I do not recommend reading various Internet sources, as you will rarely come across relevant and practical information. They had more of a fear effect on me.
