The Leaning Tower of Azadi, A Symbol of Iran
All over the world, there are a great number of incredible
architectural structures. Many of them grand, elegant and vast in their size
and influence. Azadi Tower, a forever symbolic sign of Tehran, known for its
grandness, elegance and size. Thousands of tourists rush to its premises to
take pictures of this tower. This white marble tower is built by using both
pre- and post-Islamic architecture. This masterwork was named The Shahyad
Tower, signifying "Kings' Memorial", but was dubbed Azadi (Freedom)
after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Ali, a knowledgeable tour guide of
Uppersia, took a great photo of our American guests, while walking through this
monument.

Agatha Christie in Iran Tour
In 1931 Agatha Christie boarded a 4 seated Junkers plane with
a German pilot and traveled into Persia, an adventure that made her interested
in Iran and she came back several times. Her interest in a house in Shiraz
(Naranjestan Qavam) resulted in creating a short story called "The house
at Shiraz". We will take her path in Iran in this trip. She flew over
Kermanshah and Hamadan and landed in Tehran and continued to Isfahan and Shiraz.
We start this trip in Kermanshah west of Iran and finish it in Shiraz in
Southwest. We also investigate the house at Shiraz that is the location of
Agatha's story.
