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.

Syria
Back in 1984, when I worked for a short period in Cairo, Egypt, a trip was made to Syria when Hafez Al-Assad, the father of Bashar Al-Assad was still in power. Roaming around the old parts of Damascus including the old souk and the UNESCO world heritage certified Omayyad mosque was magnificent. A visit to Syria is not complete without stopping at the Palmyria (Tadmor) also this UNESCO heritage. This amazing Palmyrene empire dating back to 2000 years BC is located some 200 km north-east of Damascus has been partly destroyed by ISIS in there efforts of eradicating many of the historical sites and architecture in Syria.
