Experiencing Iranian dishes will tell you a lot about their passion for taste, color and aroma. Iranian’s respect food and in particular bread as God’s blessing.
Louisa Shafia,
A visit to Iran yields a stunning variety of culinary delights. Between the familiar kebab and the decidedly outré grilled lamb’s testicles, there’s a vast spectrum of foods: caviar, pickle, and smoked fish in the north; samosas, falafel and hot and sour shrimp in the south; noodles and flatbread.
If you are going to visit Iran, make sure not to miss the taste of Fesenjan (Pomegranate Walnut Stew) or Iranian Kebabs which come in many kinds: beef, chicken, lamb liver, among them.
For the desert lets try flatbread and rosewater-scented ice cream flavored with orange blossom, rose water, honey, nuts or saffron which makes Persian ice cream different to western-style desserts. Hope you enjoy this Iranian sweet treat.
Noosh-e jan! (Yes, that’s Farsi for “bon appétit.”)

At the pivot point between the Middle East and Central Asia, Iran borders on the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, and the Caspian Sea.
Much of Iran’s terrain is mountainous. The Alborz and Zagros Mountain ranges in the north and west and two deserts, Markazi and Lut, has filled Iran’s heart.
The deserts of Iran are less inhabited and most of the population live in the basins, plateaus and plains.
By having dense rain forests in the north, warm sunny beaches in the south, snowy mountains in the west and amazingly hot deserts in the east, Iran is one of the few countries that gives the joy of experiencing four different seasons at the same time to travelers.

Iran nature is a safe haven to many endangered species. Among them is Asiatic Cheetah also known as the Iranian Cheetah, the world’s fastest land animal and the last few are known to survive mostly in Iran. Iran’s wildlife is composed of several animal species including bears, gazelles, wild pigs, wolves, jackals, panthers, Eurasian lynx, and foxes. Other domestic animals include, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, water buffalo, donkeys, and camels. The pheasant, partridge, stork, eagles and falcon are also native to Iran.
