I'm doing some research and need a little help. Thanks Amanda --- "So many places, so little time" ((*_*)) Reply    Reply with quote    Contact mistybleu   krisek Premium account Joined: Jan 08 Points: 84174 Posts: 203 Posted: 2010-06-07 13:45:00    Hi Amanda, This is what I think: 1. Esfahan - the city's architecture and bridges 2. Persepolis - remains of the ancient city 3. Tchogha Zanbil - ruins of a holy city 4. Yazd - city's architecture, desert and Zoarastrian monuments 5. Bam - ruins of remarkable citadel 6. Pasargadae and Royal Tombs - dating back to Achaemenid Empire 7. Soltaniyeh - the mausoleum of Oljaytu from early 14th century 8. Shiraz - city architecture and gardens 9. Mashhad - the holy city 10. I would pick up either a place south by the Indian Ocean or in the mountains in the north. That was my plan. I could not fit everything in my holiday (I stayed longer in 1. and 4. - as people were amazing there), and did not see 3., 5., 7., 9., and 10. I hope this helps.

They must be beautiful. Will write more during the next days.

The book has informations for travellers too. You probably can find it in a good library or in a second hand book store, because I don't know whether you still can buy it. When you tell me where you go I can look those places up and tell you whether you can find a Persian Gardens in it.
