so here we go-
Tehran-
The capital city of Iran. Tehran is a cosmopolitan city, with great museums, parks, restaurants, and warm friendly people. It deserves at least a few days of your Iranian itinerary.
The city can be roughly divided into two different parts - north and south. The northern districts of Tehran are more prosperous, modern, cosmopolitan and expensive while southern parts are less attractive but cheaper.
one of the must visit places is Milad Tower Built in 2007, this tower is the tallest in Iran, and while it does not rival any of Dubai’s monoliths, it stands taller than the Shard, at 435 metres. Climb to one of its viewing platforms at sunset for great views of the mountains that surround Tehran.
Eram Garden, Shiraz-
This attraction is named after one of the four gardens of paradise described in the Quran, and visitors will enjoy wandering among the rose garden, which was entirely replanted in 2010. The grand house within has beautiful 19th century tiling, and a depiction of a Sassanid king stumbling upon an Armenian princess as she bathes.
The Towers of Silence, Yazd-
These burial towers outside the desert city of Yazd were used by the adherents of Zoroastrianism, an ancient Iranian religion, to “purify” bodies before burial. Until just 40 years ago, corpses were placed on the towers in the belief that exposure to elements would prevent their contamination by demons. The bones were then taken to an ossuary for burial. The practice is now illegal, but the towers are a fascinating, if rather morbid, attraction.
Tochal-
known as the “roof of Iran”, lies at 3,964 metres and offers good skiing seven to eight months of the year. also lots of ice mountain treks available
Bavanat Valley-
The long, narrow Bavanat Valley lies in the heart of the Zagros Mountains, and is home to Qashqai nomads in the summer. People here make a living from agriculture and growing walnut trees, and the valley offers excellent guided trekking opportunities.
Isfahan-
The name alone denotes unrivalled beauty and splendour. Imagine the beauty of Istanbul and Taj Mahal and you've got Isfahan's Naqhs-e Jehan Square. Naqhs-e Jehan Square is the second biggest square in the world, with its lush gardens and fountains, bustling bazaars, and its extravagant series of palaces, mosques, and Islamic architecture. In the bazaars you can purchase handmade Persian rugs, ornaments, china, and glassware.
Persepolis-
The ruined city of Persepolis, which dates from 515BC, is one of the world’s finest examples of ancient architecture, and was declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1979. It was discovered in the 1930s by Andre Godard, a French archaeologist. Today, it is one of the major draws for tourists to Iran. Jonny Bealby, of tour operator Wild Frontiers, said: “There is a lot of pent-up demand to explore the unrivalled Islamic architecture of cities like Isfahan and Shiraz, and discover the world-class archaeological site of Persepolis.”
The Foreign Office still currently advises against all but essential travel to Iran, and against all travel to some areas. Travellers looking to go there should be aware that they may come across situations they would not encounter in Westernised countries. Check the Foreign Office's latest advisories here.
i will finish by saying hoping for worldwide peace between all countries, people and religous and maybe one day i will visit in Iran my own - Amen!!!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
