When I put my eyes on the Ali Ibn Hamza Shrine, in

When I put my eyes on the Ali Ibn Hamza Shrine, in Shiraz, I knew something was off. It looks bizarre, with an unreal mosaic of mirrors and glass surrounding the whole structure inside. It's fascinating. The most intriguing, however, is the history. It was built to honor a man - a sacred figure to Shia Muslims - who ended up decapitated and buried in the current shrine's place #weloveitwild #everydayiran #shiraz #iran #ایران #تهران #tehran #photography #travel #عشق #اصفهان #photo #شیراز #مشهد #instagram #عکاسی #عکس #instagood #طبیعت #هنر #photographer #ايران #تبریز #beautiful #photooftheday #اهواز #esfahan #passionpassport

@maxhaensel took this killer shot in the Abbasi Great Mosque, in Esfahan - an extraordinary mosque – decorated with exquisite blue mosaics and among the most beautiful on Earth. I am so happy we got to see this place while we still could. It turns out Robert Byron, a British writer, was right when he rated Esfahan “among those rarer places, like Athens or Rome, which are the common refreshment of humanity.” For more, see “Iran” in my Instagram highlights and the story published on weloveitwild.com #weloveitwild

"If I had to pick a city that makes my imagination

"If I had to pick a city that makes my imagination flourish over Iran’s ancient golden times, it would be Yazd. It’s hard to put in words Yazd’s peculiar atmosphere, but it’s easy to taste it as I navigate among its winding lanes, blue-tiled domes, soaring minarets, covered bazaars, and elegant old courtyard homes."

The Dasht-e Lut is a vast salt desert in the provi

The Dasht-e Lut is a vast salt desert in the provinces of Kerman, Sistan, and Baluchestan, in southeast Iran. A while ago, before COVID-19 hit the country, I set up camp exactly there, where the shifting sands of the Lut Desert, or the Dasht-e Lut, forge a living work of art. Those were crazy few days at the start of my journey across Iran. Not only is the Lut the hottest place on Earth, beating El Azizia in Libya, and Iran's only natural Unesco World Heritage site, but also a bizarre, mystic wilderness. It's a landscape so far off; it felt like a kind of mirage. Or promised land. For the first time since I had arrived in the country, I was told to take the veil off. Then, I heard my fixer say the Lut is his favorite place in the world. "It's the only place where I can have a glimpse of what freedom feels like.".
