Phils Guide to the World!

In this Isfahan City video we start at the Abassi Hotel, an converted Caravanserai from the Silk Road.   Then we visit the Si-o-Se-Pol Bridge on the Zayanderud River, where Soheil, my guide, has an ACCIDENT.

Next I visited Naqsh-e Jahan Square, or "Half of the World".  This is the largest square in all of Iran and contains the Grand Bazaar and the Jame Mosque.    Here I also visited Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Shah Jahan's private mosque and what some call "the most beautiful mosque in the world".

In the evening we had dinner on Chahar Bagh Street, the green part of town where everyone comes out to socialize at night.

But my FAVORITE PLACE in Isfahan was the 40 Pillar Palace, a magnificent UNESCO palace and Persian garden.  

Then we crossed town to the Armenian Quarter to see the Vank Cathedral.  I had no idea that you could find such an incredible church in Iran!    The Armenian Quarter is also great for shopping and I met some lovely Iranians in the shops which sold "best copy" fake Louis Vuitton, Gucci and more!

I even had a chance to interview some taxi drivers about their thoughts on America, so you're not going to want to miss this, my favorite Iran video so far!

Isfahan was one of my FAVORITE DESTINATIONS from my 24 DAYS In IRAN.
