Iran
Women in hijabs, sea food and frantic traffic on the roads - so I remember Iran. For a few days I was plunged into a completely different world - east, as it is.

The next day we made a flight to Ahvaz, Khuzestan province. Ahvaz is located in the south of Iran, and it was very hot - 45-48 degrees in the shade.
In the morning from the hotel window, I saw that the city fell dusty haze. We were told that the consequences dust storm in Saudi Arabia. Dust and stood for a few days until our departure
In the provinces of Iran are very few new cars. Basically, all the ride of French cars of thirty years ago, as well as other vehicles of unknown origin
