Beautiful Ilam City www.Mahan.aero

Despite being situated in the cold mountainous region of Iran, Ilam’s climate is largely influenced by deserts from the west and the south. Hence the city experiences heavy rain showers or snow in winter and has dusty, hot and dry weather in summer.Historical evidence shows Ilam, which was called Alamto or Alam meaning ‘mountains’ or ‘the country of sunrise’ in Elamite and Babylonian inscriptions, was an important center of the Elamite civilization, linking the Iranian plateau and Mesopotamia. During later periods the city’s name was changed to Aryojan until in 1929 when the Iranian government changed the city’s name to Ilam.The province is an area rich in Bronze and Iron Age archeological sites mostly in the form of cemeteries. Chenar Graveyard, a site datable to the first millennium BC, Kian-e-Gonbad Graveyard, which archaeological studies suggest dates to 2500-2600 BC, and Pelkeh Kan

Graveyard, where numerous Stone Age artifacts have been discovered are the most famous of these cemeteries.These cemeteries, which hold invaluable ethnographical and chronological information on social and economic relations, indicated that throughout the millennia Ilam has witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations.The city is also known for its beautiful natural attractions Haft Ab Valley, Ilam Dam Lake, Chamava and Sartaf Waterfalls and Sheshdar Forest Park near Mount Qalaqiran (Mount Ghalaghiran(. Ilam is close to Kabir Kouh Mountain range and its many peaks most notably Mount Shalam.It is also one of the first regions in the world to have an agricultural system. The city has an Agriculture Museum dedicated to the history of agriculture, which showcases various methods farming.Ilam has the third largest Kurdish population in Iran after Kermanshah and Sanandaj.

Beautiful Ilam City www.Mahan.aero

Ilam’s attractionsSiah Gav Twin Lakes Siah Gav Twin Lakes are located in Abdanan, the fourth most populated county in Ilam Province with a pristine beautiful nature. The access route to Abdanan is in a way the sister road to Chalus Road in the north of Iran; they’re both very beautiful windy roads with great green mountainous nature. With its beautiful oak woods, Abdanan City located between Kabir Kouh and Dinar Kouh, attracts many tourists. 93% of Abdanan County is rich with natural resources but this is not all. Over a hundred historical, cultural, and religious sites haven been nationally registered here as well.The relatively high plains and mountains covered with red tulips, oak trees, charming mountainous weather, the sound of singing birds, the black tents of the nomads, the newly-born playful lambs etc. will all form fragments of your trip’s memories to be saved for the tedious days of your life.Flowers on the edge of the lakes, colorful fish in the water, wild birds, and tall bamboos are other wonderful things you will see on your trip to these thousand-year-old lakes.The two indigo Siah Gav Lakes in Ilam are separated by a natural 500-long dirt path. The depth of each lake is more than 12 meters but the water is so crystal clear that the fish can be seen in the depth of the lakes like an aquarium. The mysterious coldness of water in summer and its warmness in winter is another amazing fact about these two lakes.Some natives of this region claim that hippos used to live in this lake in ancient times and as these animals were black and unknown to people, the lakes got famous as Siah Gav. However, language experts like Mr. Mir Jalaleddin Kazzazi believe that the original name of these lakes was “Siag Ow” (brownish blue water in local dialect( and eventually changed incorrectly to the current name.

While the country is trying to modernize its tourism industry in the face of increasing visitor numbers -- 5.2 million came in 2016 and more are expected in 2017 -- its more traditional offerings still have the potential to charm.Isfahan has its fair share of historical wonders (some which are UNESCO World Heritage sites(, but in many ways Abbasi Hotel has become a tourist attraction in its own right.

Built around 300 years ago, under the Safavid dynasty reign of Shah Sultan Hossein, it was originally used as a pit stop (caravanserai) for merchants traveling the ancient Silk Road.

Abbasi’s Qajar and Safarvid suites are hotel's most atmospheric rooms. The complex provided shelter not only for traders but also for the camels and horses they used to help transport their goods.The years, decades and centuries that followed took their role on the old caravanserai (during the early

1900s it was used as a military complex( and it started to fall into disrepair.In the 1950s French archaeologist André Godard, working in Iran at the time, took its restoration.Soon after that, the Abbasi became what it is today: a 4-star hotel drenched in an ancient past.The Abbasi may not have an

abundance of modern amenities. There are no state-of-the-art gym or in-room cappuccino machines (although it does have great Wi-Fi(, but that adds to its charm.In a globalized and franchise-dominated world, the Abbasi is unique.This hotel is all about atmosphere. Moreover, it’s uniquely Persian.

Even the Abbasi’s ceilings are Instagram-worthy.Hallways are lined with authentic miniature paintings, the ceiling of the lobby is finely detailed and the dining areas are adorned with beautiful mirror work, glittering chandeliers, and exquisite colorful wall motifs often associated with

romantic notions of “the orient.”An array of emerald greens, jasmine blues and deep golds inevitably make visitors reach for their cameras as soon as they walk in.The hotel has around 225 rooms, including 23 suites, and is divided between the hotel’s old wing and new wing.

Guests who get to stay in the old wing, especially the Qajar and Safavid suites, are in for a treat. These rooms have been superbly restored and are decorated in an elegant traditional style without being overloaded.At about $350 a night, they’re relatively pricey.

Abbasi Hotel has six restaurants -- including a coffee shop, traditional teahouse and breakfast hall.What really makes the Abbasi particularly special is its open-air courtyard.It’s a large, beautiful, well-maintained Persian garden with little fountains, brook-lined

avenues, bright flower beds and quince-laden trees.People spend their time drinking tea, reading a book or just hiding away from the hustle and bustle of the city in this oasis.The courtyard restaurant is famous for an Iranian dish called Ash-e Reshteh, a thick type of noodle

soup filled with some types of beans and herbs.Anyone visiting Isfahan and staying elsewhere would be missing out if they didn’t at least stop by the Abbasi and take a look around.It’s guaranteed to be one of the best memories of any stay in Iran.

Best Things to Do in Budapest (Hungary)

Hungary’s capital city Budapest is actually made up of 3 unified cities, with Buda and Óbuda on the west bank of the Danube and Pest on the east bank. Much of the city has been granted UNESCO World Heritage Site status, and many visitors consider the city to be amongst the most beautiful cities in Europe.The city successfully mixes its fascinating history with a brilliant, laid-back contemporary artistic style. There is a wide range of different things for visitors to see and do, from museums to thermal spas; so everyone should be able to find something that tickles their fancy.

1. Parliament BuildingThe Hungarian Parliament Building, which was designed and built in the Gothic Revival style, is one of the largest buildings in Hungary, and is home to hundreds of parliamentary offices. Although the impressive building looks fantastic from every angle, to see the whole building in its full glory, it is worth viewing it from the other side of the Danube.Tours of certain areas of the building are available daily, and run in different languages.

2. Gellért BathsOne of the grandest spas in the city is the Gellert Bath and Spa center, which includes an open-air pool (which turns into a wave pool), an effervescent swimming pool, a Finnish sauna, and a range of other saunas and plunge pools.The complex was originally built between 1912 and 1918 in an Art Nouveau style, but it sustained serious damage during World War II. The whole spa was extensively renovated in 2008 to bring the baths back to their former glory.

Let’s explore the best places to see in Budapest:

3. Heroes’ SquareHeroes’ Square, which marks the end of Andrássy Avenue is home to an iconic monument which features depictions of the Seven Chieftains of the Magyars, who are believed to have led the Hungarian people from central Asia to the Carpathian basin. Atop the central pillar is the Archangel Gabriel, who is holding the Hungarian crown. At either side of the central column are two matching colonnades, which depict a variety of other historical Hungarian figures. The impressive buildings at either side of the square are art galleries.

4. Margaret IslandMargaret Island is a 2.5km long island which sits in the middle of the Danube, and is covered in parkland and recreational facilities.There are some companies which rent pedal carts, golf carts, and other self-powered vehicles, so that you can explore the island properly.Other notable features on the island include medieval ruins and small aviary which primarily caters for injured water birds and wildfowl.

6. St. Stephen’s BasilicaThis basilica is one of the most important religious buildings in Hungary, and visitors can see the (reported( right hand of Stephen, first King of Hungary. As this is a holy site, visitors who plan on entering the church are asked to keep their knees and shoulders covered.

5. Danube PromenadeThis stretch of the Danube walkway goes from the Elizabeth Bridge to the Chain Bridge, and is perfect for those who want a short, but interesting walk. Promenading along the Danube is a great way to see many of the most famous sights in the capital.Looking over towards to Buda side of the river, you will see the Buda Castle, the Liberty Statue on Gellert Hill and the Fisherman’s Bastion. On the Promenade side of the river, you can enjoy restaurants, cafes, Szechenyi Istvan Square and a range of different sculptures, including the Little Princess.

7. Hungarian State Opera HouseThis Neo-Renaissance building was first opened in 1884, following a commission from Emperor Franz Joseph. Outside of the building, you can see statues to Ferenc Erkel (composer of the Hungarian National Anthem) and Ferenc Liszt (Hungarian composer(. The 1200 seat auditorium is considered to be one of the best in the world for operatic performances.

8. Fisherman’s BastionAlthough the Fisherman’s Bastion looks like a medieval monument, it was actually built in the early 20th century in a Neo-Gothic style, specifically to act as a panoramic viewing platform across the Danube, Margaret Island and Pest.It is named after the Guild of Fishermen, which was responsible for defending that stretch of the city walls during the Middle Ages.The seven towers of the Bastion represent the seven Magyar tribes that helped to settle the Magyar people in the Carpathian Basin.

9. Buda Castle Hill FunicularThis funicular opened in 1870, is the second oldest funicular of its kind in the world. A system of weights and counterweights is used to help to raise the carriages up and down the hill. The funicular is the fastest way to get to the top of Castle Hill, and is exceedingly popular because of its panoramic views out across the Danube. The speed of ascent was actually slowed down as of 1988, to give passengers more time to enjoy their ride.

10. The Buda HillsThe Buda Hills are one of the greenest areas of the city, and are very popular with Budapest citizens who want to take a little time away from city life.There are various hiking trails to follow and mountain bike paths as well, which range from easy to medium level of difficulty.

12. City ParkThe City Park includes sports facilities, swimming baths, and a boating lake. During the winter months, the boating lake is transformed into one of Europe’s largest ice rinks. The park is also home to the Budapest Municipal Zoo and Botanical Gardens, the Budapest Circus and the Vajdahunyad Castle (housing the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture). Just outside of the park, you can find the Time Wheel, which is one of the largest sand timers in the world. In this sand timer, all of the grains of glass take 1 year to fall from the top section to the bottom, and the timer is rotated every New Year.

13. Hungarian National MuseumThe Hungarian National Museum is home to thousands of exhibits detailing the history, art, religion and archaeology of the country, including exhibitions from areas which are now out of Hungary’s borders.The spectacular Neoclassical museum building itself is worth looking at, even if you do not plan on touring the inside.The peaceful gardens outside of the museum are considered to be a popular meeting spot, and are particularly popular during the summer months.

14. Aquincum Museum and Ruin GardenThis is a great chance to explore some of Hungary’s ancient history. Aquincum was a Roman city which stood where Budapest stands today, and served as an important military base in the ancient Roman Empire.It is possible to walk around some of the ruins, including those of an ancient gladiatorial amphitheater, and other structures, such as the city bathhouse.In the museum itself, you can view various Roman relics, and a working replica of a famous water organ which was discovered in the area in 1931.

11. Andrássy AvenueThis wonderful boulevard takes visitors from Erzsébet Square in central Pest, out to the City Park. Due to its interesting cultural heritage, it was declared a World Heritage Site in 2002. Taking a walk down Andrássy is a great way to see a number of Budapest’s different architectural styles, including the Hungarian National Opera House, Neo-Renaissance townhouses and mansions, and a number of embassies. If you do not fancy promenading down the boulevard, the metro line which runs underneath the Avenue is the third oldest underground railway in the world.
