In Iran all roads lead to Tehran. A network of highways traverse the desert land to the oasis of Isfahan and the ancient ruins of Persepheles in Shiraz. Downtown Tehran is colorful. It gets a little hectic and …at times quite bizzare. Just think of something…anything and the chances are you’ll find it here. Beyond the high rise, is the majestic tranquility of a vast mountain range which walls the capital. For centuries the mountain slopes of the Alborz have been an inspiration for writers and poets. Skiing is now fashionable for the post revolution Iranians The main skiing areas outside of Tehran are Shemshak 60 km’s from Tehran and Gizi.”
