This episode is undoubtedly more focussed on the cultural and historical aspects of northern Iran. Altogether we visit a handful of some renown but also less popular UNESCO Sites. We stay in the Capital Tehran for a few days - pretty empty and quiet though due to the Persian New Year Festivities. Lastly, we visit the Holy Shrine in Qom, one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for Shi’a Muslims.

* Cover picture is the Soltanieh Dome (36.433959, 48.796596), a UNESCO listed Mausoleum with the third largest brick dome in the world.
