Iran Travel

À l'été 1953, un jeune homme de 24 ans, fils de bonne famille calviniste, quitte Genève et son université, où il suit des cours de sanscrit, d'histoire médiévale puis de droit, à bord de sa Fiat Topolino. Nicolas Bouvier a déjà effectué de courts voyages ou des séjours plus longs en Bourgogne, en Finlande, en Algérie, en Espagne, puis en Yougoslavie, via l'Italie et la Grèce. Cette fois, il vise plus loin : la Turquie, l'Iran, Kaboul puis la frontière avec l'Inde. Il est accompagné de son ami Thierry Vernet, qui documentera l'expédition en dessins et croquis.

When Jamie Maslin decides to hitchhike the entire length of the Silk Road, he decides to travel first and plan later. Then, unexpectedly stranded in Iran - a country he's only read about in newspapers - he wonders whether he'll make it out alive. After crossing the border on foot from Turkey, Maslin finds himself suddenly plunged into the subversive, contradictory world of Iranian subculture, where he is embraced by locals who are happy to show him the true Iran as they see it....

In 1892, Gertrude Bell visited Persia (now Iran) shortly after the appointment of her uncle, Sir Frank Lascelles, as British minister in Tehran. Three years later came Persian Pictures, Gertrude Bell’s first written work, which presents a series of vivid sketches of Persian culture and society at the time. Bell explores various cities and landscapes, and encounters local characters along the way, providing a unique perspective on Persian life and customs.

خلال رحلةٍ تستمرُّ عشرون يومًا يطوف بنا الرّحالة عمرو بدوي في بلاد فارس داخل العمق الإيراني بدءًا من مدينة "شيراز" مدينة الشعراء حيث المساجد التي تزدان بنقوشٍ عربية، ثمَّ مدينة "يزد" معقل الطائفة الزرادشتية ليغوص في عالمٍ ساحر كتلك العوالم الموجودة في الروايات، ثمَّ ينتقل بنا إلى أصفهان التي لن نشفى من عذوبتها أبدًا فنرى معه الحدائق الغنّاء والبناء المعماري المتميز والكنائس الرومانية.

Sind Sie bereit für einen wirklich außergewöhnlichen Reisebericht? Urlaub machen in Nordkorea? Eine Pauschalreise in den Iran? Mit dem Mountainbike quer durch Bhutan? Im Winter nach Tibet? Spinnt der??? Nordkorea, Bhutan, Iran und Tibet sind alles andere als beliebte Reiseziele. Abgeschieden, teils von der Außenwelt isoliert, in zerklüfteten Landstrichen gelegen und oft gezeichnet von einer schwierigen politischen Lage, finden Sie dort weder All-inklusive-Hotelanlagen noch Urlaubsangebote zum Entspannen.
