Spring is definitely in the air...

Salaam,

Arriving back in Tehran late evening at the end of March, we could already feel the pleasant warmth of early Spring time. The next morning weather was well above the average for the season with slightly cool breezes from the mountain ranges nearby. Over the weekend we could already enjoy the green and the flowers in our small garden which are already beginning to blossom.

The day also coincides with the end of the Persian New Year or Nowruz celebration, known locally as Sizdah Bedar or the 13th day, when Iranian goes out of their dwellings to spend the day in gardens and parks all over the country.

Iranian Spring is indeed one of the best and most beautiful season to be spent and enjoyed by any discerning local and foreign visitors alike. And for us, this is indeed our seventh year of spending and relishing the blessing and beauty of Spring in Tehran.

Wassalam.
