Middle East Travel

Es ist offiziell verboten. Trotzdem reist Stephan Orth als Couchsurfer kreuz und quer durch den Iran, schläft auf Dutzenden von Perserteppichen, erlebt irrwitzige Abenteuer - und lernt dabei ein Land kennen, das so gar nicht zum Bild des Schurkenstaates passt. Denn die Iraner sind nicht nur Weltmeister in Sachen Gastfreundschaft, sondern auch darin, den Mullahs ein Schnippchen zu schlagen. Ob beim Rotwein-Besäufnis mit einem persischen Prinzen oder bei einem Wohnzimmer-Date mit versammelter Großfamilie, im stinkenden Schmugglerbus oder im rasenden Kleinwagen.

En arabisk hyrde står mellem kvæget på den stenede græsslette og morer sig med fra tid til anden at kaste sten ud i Genezareth sø. Da han er blevet træt af dette tidsfordriv, går han et stykke op i terrænet, hvor han har anbragt en transistorradio. Han stiller ind på senderen i det jordanske Amman og klagende arabiske toner lyder ud over den stenede grund, der engang husede de boliger i Magdala, som Jesus og Peter og Maria Magdalene må have kendt så godt.

Karl Eskelund og hans rejsemakker og hustru, Chi-Yun, drog i starten af 1960‘erne til Persien, som på det tidspunkt havde været regeret af en shah i 2500 år. Derfra beretter de om et land, hvor forskellige folkeslag, styreformer og religioner, gamle og nye traditioner stod overfor hinanden i skarp kontrast.
