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.

Egypt (2024)
Over 30 years since our last visit and 40 years since first visit and working in Cairo back in 1984. The objective was to show the kids the Egypt we once knew. All lot has of course changed, but a lot remained the same as we remembered it. It has become more of a police state with check-points and police scattered all over Cairo. The Egyptian Museum (old museum) was very much as we remembered it. Visiting the Giza plateau is a very different experience today - all gated with entrance fees to each and every sight within and of course absolutely packed with tourists. This is very far from how it looked back in the 80-ies. The same goes for The Valley of the Kings (Luxor) and Luxor temple, Karnak and more...
