About this course
This is a slide show/video course in which we will travel together to Iran. We will visit some characteristic places and get some travel tips on how to plan a beautiful trip to this colorful and varied country.
Starting from the "safety issue", we will face some of the common places affecting the image of Iran nowadays. We will figure out that Iranian people are not what we are used to read in the newspaper but are one of the most welcoming hosts in the world. It will help us to overcome the “fear” of traveling to a middle east country.
After that, we will see which places to visit and when to get there. There will be a yummy section about Persian dishes and some information about transportation in the country as well. Remember that Iran is a huge country and you’ll find those tips useful.
The good news is there is a bonus section in this course, including information about how easy is to apply for an E-Visa for Iran and listening to the words of the most famous Iranian poet, Hafez.
Last but not the least, we will have a short Farsi lesson, to get confident with the local language. For learning more about Farsi, just check “Learn Persian with Ziba”.
This course is free - if you enjoyed watching it, feel free to share it with anyone you think can be interested in discovering a different country.
