Iran
Back in the years 2006 and 2007, I managed a company where we decided to set-up an assembly production facility in Teheran, Iran. This meant a few trips to the capital of Iran. I unfortunately did not have time to see anything of this supposedly beautiful country filled with amazing architectural sites. The few shots are from a mobile phone hence the poor quality. There is a trip penciled in my travel-plans hopefully in the not so distant future. My main takeaway from these trips are the hard-working, dedicated and friendly people.

Iraq
Iraq (Kurdistan)
The kurdish territory of Iraq is possible to visit safely and even without a visa (believe it or not). Having tried for a long time to get visa to visit Bagdad, I eventually gave up, when the idea of flying into Erbil, the capital of the north-eastern parts of Iraq materialized. We had an eventful and amazing trip around these parts visiting - Erbil, the regional capital, Mar Matai, Lalish, Dahuk, Al-Amedieh, the hamilton road, Gali Ali Beg, Rawandouz, Koysanjak, Sulymania and two refugee camps. We passed by Kirkuk and Mosul on the way back to Erbil, but were not able to go into these cities due to waring fractions. It was only 1 year later when ISIS came into power and control over Mosul.
