I want to share with the community a lot of tourist information and experience of my trip in Iran

I visited the north of the Country. Very interesting and touristically varied this route across varied beautiful landscapes from the chaotic and big cities to small rural villages to find out in 10 days a small part of this big and interesting Country

Below a list of tourist attractions of my itinerary that may be useful to plan better a trip

> Masuleh is a beautiful village in the province of Fuman with an unique architecture : The yard of the building above is the roof of the building below . Courtyards and roofs both serve as pedestrian areas similar to streets . The small streets and many stairs simply wouldn't make it possible for vehicles to enter . The village itself has a difference in elevation of 100 meters ( from wikipedia )
