I admire your attitude, always laughing and smiling in the face of difficulties, be it literally boiled under the blazing sun or facing dangerous manoeuvres of other drivers. I hope you continue to enjoy your ride in my beloved country and wish you a safe journey!
I believe Iran is an incredible destination for tourists, where people are genuinely caring and always willing to help foreigners. The absence of scammers and the warm hospitality make it even more appealing. With its rich history, countless cultural landmarks, and a diverse array of delicious cuisine, there’s so much to explore. Plus, everything comes at a very affordable price, making Iran a perfect spot for travelers looking for an unforgettable experience. ❤️ 🇮🇷
Yes, the real Iran is NOT shown on the Western media. By cultural default majority of the people are very kind and not pushy. So if you go a Bazaar, unlike other countries the shopkeepers don't push you to buy anything and respect your choices. To most Iranians is very important that foreign tourists enjoy their safe stay and they often invite tourists to their homes for lunch or dinner, they are interested to learn about the tourists and their stories, just like tourists that are interested i other cultures and how Iranians live their lives. Iranians generally have a very positive impression of Sweden and Swedish people.
Of course .you can sea the persian empire Palas (apadana) in shiraz .but the beautiful sides in north of Iran special for a bike rider must be very interesting
I lived the first 15 years of my life in Kerman and your videos brought back so many nostalgic memories that I have tears in my eyes. Thank you for this journey down memory lane in a less-traveled part of Iran: my beautiful province of Kerman. I remember going to the Mahan garden (Prince's garden) on weekends with my family to have a picnic and walk around. At dusk and during sunset, that place is one of the most magical places I have ever been. You can see the reflection of the sun and the palace in the pond while the tall trees shield you form the desert heat, and people are just walking around enjoying a relaxing weekend while children run around and play. I remember going to Bam citadel once when I was a kid, only a few years before that terrible earthquake. I remember the earthquake like it was yesterday, I remember my dad and I hudding under the arch of a door to protect us from falling bricks in case our house collapsed (luckily it didn't). Everyone in Kerman still gets very sad about that earthquake; many people died and most of the citadel was destroyed. But it's also a beacon of hope for us: we stayed resilient and rebuilt our cities and the citadel and people from all around the world came to help! The rebuilding, however, was not perfect, and a proper responsible government who cared for its people would have done a better job. I remember driving through those vast sandy plains with my family en route to a cooler picnic location in higher altitudes, sometimes stopping under the shades of those lone trees to enjoy a cup of hot tea (still don't understand why we drink hot tea in the hottest province of Iran, but some habits are here to stay I suppose). Kerman is a hidden gem, most of it is very dry and barren, but if you know where to go, you can find gorgeous mountain valleys adorned by streams of clean water from the mountains and waterfalls with lots of vegetation and trees. The tallest mountain in Kerman is called hezar (which means 1000 but it's actually 4500 meters high), which I almost climbed with my parents one time....eventually we came back down because I started nagging too much. Pistachios, copper, and cumin are some of the most well-known exports of Kerman. I live in Europe and everytime my parents come to visit me I have to ask them to bring a ton of pistachios and wild cumin for my friends here because they love it so much. Kerman is so famous in Iran for its cumin that we even have a saying "zire be Kerman bordan" (to take cumin to Kerman), to indicate when an action is useless or unnecessary. My grandfather was himself a pistachio farmer in a little cute village outside Rafsanjan and I still remember running around his garden with my cousins when we were little, trying to eat as many pistachios, berries and figs as we could (while trying to be careful with snakes and scorpions, as there are many of them in that region!). My father in turn worked in the largest copper mine (Sarcheshme) as a translator when he was very young. There he became friends with a German and an American couple residing there as engineers. He still has photos of his friends, but unfortunately lost contact with them over time... As I could barely hear Alireza the nice guide's voice during your tour of the citadel I also must mention the beautiful Kerman accent. Of course I wouldn't expect a non-farsi speaker to recognize the difference at first, but Kerman, just like every region in Iran, has its own dialect and accent. The Kermani one is distinguished by its pronunciation (or rather, lack thereof) of vowels: for example "pedaram" (which means my father), would be pronounced "pedrm", almost as if it doesn't have vowels :)) This is why I believe Kermanis would be very good at learning Polish or Czech. But also it makes us incredibly obvious wherever we go, as if we have a sign on our forehead reading "I am from Kerman". Because of this some Kermanis try to hide it by mimicking a Tehran "bourgeois" accent On a bit more comedic note, I must mention the running joke about Kerman. Every province/region in Iran has its own jokes - for example Isfahani's are greedy, Shirazis are lazy and super chill, and of course the majority of these jokes are done in a spirit of playful comraderie. The running joke about Kerman is that we are all opium addicts :D. Of course this is exaggerated but just as any joke, there is a little bit of truth in it as Kerman is nearer to Afghanistan and their opium fields and a lot of their smuggling runs through Kerman province unfortunately. Sorry for my huge unstructured rant about my birthplace and wish you all the best in your travels wherever it may be.
@@krikkosadventure These cars whose rear is high, in fact, their drivers are smugglers, they raise the rear of their car so that the height of the car becomes standard after loading the contraband into their car.
Krikko, your videos of Iran are amazing! I've visited the country, mostly Tehran, Shiraz, and Isfahan, several times. Your videos have definitely inspired me to visit the other cities and provinces on my next trip; so thank you for that! I have a tiny suggestion, I think your videos would capture the essence of these mesmerizing sites, beautiful cities, and generous culture if you replace the current background music with some traditional/modern Persian songs (IMHO).
the car modification is called "Shooti" , used to be a smuggler's way of changing their cars to increase chance of running from police stops but seems like others also like that dunno maybe related to offroading or just a style or sth
the other reason is when they load the whole backseat and trunk, it prevents the rear part to get close to the ground , so when the car is fully loaded it kinda gets back to the normal shape as it was😁
I see some comments on some places being dangerous. Don't worry, we don't do that in Iran. Yes, you find all sort of people everywhere, but the chance of those crimes in Iran is a lot less. Specially from Iranians towards foreigners. Continue your beautiful journey and keep uploading beautiful videos. You encourage me to visit some places I haven't visited myself in my next trip to Iran. From an Iranian who lives in your neighbor country, Norge. Plus, I don't know if visiting Isfahan is part of your plan, but if it's not, you are gonna miss a lot. We call Isfahan "Nesfe jahan" (half of the world). I'm pretty sure you wanna see half of the world all in one place.
It will also be very good if she can visit the big cities of Iran such as Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashhad and Tehran, and besides this, she can visit the beautiful nature of northern Iran, seas, deserts and especially the beautiful mountains of Iran, which she is very fond of...
Iran is such an underrated gem! Every episode reveals a new side of the country that most people don’t expect. The culture, history, and hospitality you’ve shown are truly eye-opening. It’s amazing how much there is to discover beyond the usual headlines. Can’t wait to see what else surprises you on your journey! 🇮🇷✨
Of all the amazing places you have visited in Iran, the Bam Citadel was something else! This largest adobe building in the world is out of this world! Thanks for sharing. Good job, keep up!
İranın insanları çok yardımsever iyi kalplidir ben 2 kez ziyaret ettim iranı tanıştığım insanlar büyük nezaket gösterdiler o yüzden İran halkını çok severim dünya medyasına inanmayın Türkiyeden selam herkeze.
I’m Iranian and scared to go visit my own country. No rules, no laws, some idiot with Pasdaran uniform can ruin your entire life. Shame on the government. Look how empty BAM is. BAM could be as vibrant as Istanbul, but with Iranian government there is always uncertainty. THEY CANNOT LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE.
@@kamranford4 I agree with you, I won’t visit Iran anymore either, I was in Bam in 2003 before the quake and it was the most wondrous and magical place I had ever seen and not a single tourist! Just me and a guide! If it were in Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Italy or Spain you probably couldn’t get in due to crowds! We spend our money elsewhere exactly because of the reasons you mentioned!
ایران خیلی زیبا تر از اون چیزی هست ک شما دیدین میدونم که مقصد شما الان نپال هست ولی اگر وقت کردین یک بار دیگه ب ایران سفر کنید ولی این بار در قسمت های شمالی تا با طبعیت بی نظیر ایران مواجه بشین شیراز و اصفهان هم واقعا شگفتانگیز هستند . تو دختر شجاعی هستی ❤
the car you mentioned at 16:49 is called "Shooti" mostly used for heavy cargo which is used for oil smuggling in south-east of Iran. they lift the car a little bit up so they can carry oils without getting attention.
hello The reason why the rear of the car is high is that it does not go down too much when placing heavy goods. I love your posts, Hasam, I live in Gorgan city, Golestan province, Iran. I promise you, if you come to my city, I will make this place like heaven for you, and I will show you everywhere and give you a great reception. I always support you and in the last sentence (you are living my dream, lady) I hope your trip is safe.
Cars whose rear suspensions have been manipulated are colloquially called "shooti". In some border cities of Iran, some people smuggle goods. The reason for this is that when all the space inside the car except for the driver's seat is filled with goods, and naturally the floor of a normal car is close to the ground. Shuti Beria drivers change the suspension of their car to prevent this from happening, as you saw, which is a funny scene :)
I wish you had more time to explore major historical cities like Shiraz, Esfahan, and Tabriz. However, every place in Iran has its own unique history and character. All the best :)
@@mehrbhaman I live inside and outside of iran, the narratives in Iran are different from narratives for people outside. You have to live both to understand my point.
@@E-D-U yes I also search in the internet everyday. They report only abt Iran government and it's foreign policies which is more accurate than Iranian government news.
@@majidsalehi3858 واقعا من با موتور اسنپ کار میکنم ۳۰۰ تا ۴۰۰ تومن روزی. بعد اینا میان الکی شلوغش میکنن. تازه من وضعم توی خوزستان متوسطه. خیلی از جوونا اینجا بی کار و معتادن. 😅 They say the western media is covering Iran negatively as if anything positive exists in Iran thanks to Islamic mullas 😂
I am from Iran and wish u had a great time there. Iran has lots of unique places to visit in different provinces . Wish more tourists can come and enjoy their stay in Iran😊
*In some doors, two different models of knockers are used, one in the form of a hammer and the other in the form of a ring. The sound created by hammer percussion is similar to bam and it is used by men, and also the sound created by ring percussion is similar to the one below and used by women. By doing this, the owner of the house notices the gender of the client, and one of the residents responds accordingly*
I’ve watched a lot of videos on TH-cam and I must say yours are some of the most fascinating I’ve watched! I am Iranian myself, I have lived there, but I’ve lived most of my life in Switzerland. I’ve seen most of France, the entire East Coast of the US and a lot of Switzerland + many other countries, but I’ve never seen much of Iran except a few places here and there. Your videos make me stick to my seat and watch in awe. Kudos for what you’re doing and have done. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. I also admire your courage. Excellent job! ❤👍👍🫶
❤ Greetings of love and respect to you, my dear respected lady. In fact, we do not want to hide from you that your travel diaries have become an addiction and we have become more and more eager to get to know the countries and peoples that you visit for the diversity of their beautiful cultures, customs and traditions. We hope that all your days are beautiful and safe. The clips and videos that you publish are somewhat short and reach us, but we believe that they take a lot of your time by covering long distances and there is a lot of fatigue, trouble and road dangers. Thank you for your efforts. We wish you good health and continuation for more exciting and new adventures. ❤
thank you for the tour of the citadel. we saw and filmed it just before the earthquake. it was huge, beautiful, old. mysteries and lost stories in ever corner. then much of the old city was still intact. now that part stays in ruins. But they have done an amazing job to restore the main buildings and structure. Like many point out here, thank you for your good energy and positivity, and sharing your experience with us.
It warms my heart to see you in my home country, especially since I moved to a Nordic country. I can understand the differences you may notice and how you feel. I wish you the best moments in Iran and a safe journey to your favorite place, Nepal! It's a big ride!
Hey, as an Iranian, Your Iran vlog is incredible! I'm so happy to see you experiencing all the beauty and culture this amazing country has to offer. If you haven't planned a trip to northern Iran, you should totally add it to your list! It's super lush with forests, mountains, and waterfalls. Plus, there are ancient ruins like the Gorgan Wall (it's the second biggest defensive wall after the Great Wall of China!) and lots of castles. Wishing you a safe and unforgettable journey. 💐💙
Hey there again biker gal. Biker guy here. You should try a full south to north ride. From Qeshm island to Tehran through Siraz, Isfahan till Lahijan up north via Chaloos road. Very scenic with a wide climate variety route. Wish you awesome and safe rides. Cheers and TC
I wish you the best on your journey. During your video, you asked why some cars in Iran have higher trunks compared to their bodies. This modification is often used by individuals involved in smuggling, as it allows them to carry larger quantities of goods discreetly. I'm glad you visited my country, and I truly hope you enjoyed your time here. It would be wonderful to see you back in Iran someday. Safe travels!
If you could have a trip to Isfahan, because if you see Isfahan, it's like seeing all the history, culture, science and art of Iranian friendship in one place.
Tack krikko för att du delar med dig av det du upplever och visar oss verkligheten som är borttom den sensurerade vardagsnyheter. Vi får se genom dina videon hur folket egentligen är i Iran, Iraq o pakistan …etc. Jag är så fast i dina upplevelser och clickar ivrigt på alla dina videon😊 Önskar dig all framgång och trygga och säkra resor genom världen borttom.
Ms. Krikkos, during minutes 13:15 to about 13:30 you were touching the door knocker. There were two, one big and heavy with heavy knocking sound representing a man knocking behind the door and one small, less heavy and light knocking sound representing a lady knocking at the door. This way the person inside if she was a woman then made sure she is covered up properly with Hijab or veil before opening the door if the sound was heavy therefore a man is behind the door. HTH
This is amazing, thank you for sharing your trip. I traveled to many touristic places in the world. Anywhere else, this kind guy would most likely ask for some money. Given the economic condition in Iran, most specifically in Bam, these acts of kindnesses and hospitalities are priceless.
Thanks nice girl for videos🌺, just you passed through the desert areas of Iran, the west of Iran and the north of Iran are completely green and forested😊
You must see the land of Khorasan, the land of the sun, the land of eastern wonders, the land of the best poets of history, Ferdowsi, Attar, Khayyam, Maulana, Rodaki, etc., from the lands of Khorasan, springs of gold flow, oh boy, I love Khorasan.
سلام خسته نباشی من ایرانی هستم ولی اینجاهایی که تو رفتی دیدی و من تا حالا ندیده بودم برام جالب بود موفق باشی به کشور ما خیلی خوش اومدی امیدوارم تو کشور ما بهت خیلی خوش بگذره❤
Lol, I think that would be a dead give-away for police! Some sedans in Iran are used like trucks for carrying heavy loads in the trunk, so they are lifted.
@@SamSoMite421as long as you dont have anything illegal you are not in trouble cuz doing this with the car on its own is not illegal to do so police cant arrest you
I recently rejoined your channel after a viewing gap (since the Indian events earlier this year with Fernanda). So pleased to see the progress in your channel and travels. Congrats. What you are doing is remarkable. You are a good soul Kristina. Good to be back. Stay safe. J
I was in Bam after the earthquake that was December 26, 2003. Worked for the UN. I have pictures of the Citadel from before and after the earthquake. I was very happy when you went there and showed how far they have come in the work of rebuilding it.
16:47 I don't know about that specific car, but the main reason they do that is because they're using the car for smuggling so they lift the back end so when the trunk gets full it's height gets to normal.
As iranan believe me you will never get tired of beauty of Iran and hospitable people. . You should definitely visit north of Iran you will not get regretted.. enjoy staying in Iran👍❤️❤️🇮🇷🇮🇷
You Iranians only define your country by yourself. I was in Iran for 20 years and I don't care anymore. Iran's people are bad enough and it is a bad country.
These cars, whose rear part is high, are among the cars that smuggle diesel and gasoline in the back seat and trunk of the car to the city of Zahedan or outside the border, namely Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I just saw your channel today by accident and i found out that you are traveling in my country (IRAN), I saw how you suprised by visiting that anccient village, i'm here to tell you : THERE ARE MORE, MORE THAN YOU THINK so I WISH you came back one day and visit the other states. You are so welcoming here .. have fun and take care
من الان ویدئوی این بنده خدا رو دیدم و با خودم گفتم 18 ساعته گذاشته بیام جواب سوالش در مورد ماشینای شوتی رو بنویسم که دیدم وای چقدر هم وطن مشتاق و علاقه مند با توضیحات مبسوط قبل از من اینکار رو کردن.بعدش کامنت ها رو خوندم و اینقدر دلم سوخت، برای این کشور و زیبایی هاش دلم سوخت، برای این همه انسان با فرهنگ و میهمان دوست دلم سوخت و گفتم کامنت رو برای هم وطن هام بنویسم. ایران میتونست بزرگترین مقصد توریستی دنیا باشه اگر احمق های مسلمون نما میذاشتن. توی کشورهای توریستی دنیا کلاهبردارها دهن توریست ها رو سرویس میکنن، ولی ایران از این لحاظ هم خیلی بهتره. ای کاش قبل مرگم آزادی و عزت ایران و ایرانی رو به چشمم ببینم. واقعا هند که مردمشتوی کوچه و خیابون میرینن باید اینقدر توریست داشته باشه بعد ایران ما!!!
چون تو هند توریست رو نمیگرن بچپونن زندان 10 سال بی دلیل نگش دارن اخرش با یه تروریست طاق بزنن. این دیوثای اروپایی هم بدون توجه به هشدارهایی که دولتشون میده پا میشن میان اینجا، بعضیاشون بدجور به گا میرن. هر چی هم بگی تو کتشون نمیره باید دهنش صاف بشه تا بفهمه.
I commend you and your courage. I am Iranian and haven’t need there for 10 years. I tell you, you are braver than I am. Not only going to the unknown but also with a bike. You should definitely put Isfahan on your next visit. You will love it.
Some objects and places seem to have a soul; if that's true, your bike and Arg-e-Bam definitely do. I hope you can bring your bike home after your journey is complete. As for Arg-e-Bam, it’s heartbreaking to see it so empty and abandoned. I wish it could regain its former glory, a hope that extends to Iran as a whole. I've heard lifting the rear end of the car is done for aesthetic reasons (?) and to improve handling when taking sharp turns at high speed. From what I understand, this isn't as common in other parts of Iran as it appears in the southeast and Bam. Bon courage in the rest of the journey ...
Hej, jag tackar dig för att du rest till mitt land. Jag hoppas att du också kommer att resa till min stad (Hamedan) så att vi kan välkomna dig.

So good of you to visit my country and show places I haven't seen,you have so very kind words about the country, lastly question about cars "the area is close to many boarders and I unfortunately believe the cars are used for smuggling,anything really not necessarily narcotics " May Allah keep you safe, well and contented with your adventures.
when you said you bought everything on your own to fulfill this dream!! I wish every one of us can do the same one day! you are a perfect role model for everyone wish you luck and success in any direction that you go!

Iran is such an underrated gem! Every episode reveals a new side of the country that most people don’t expect. The culture, history, and hospitality you’ve shown are truly eye-opening. It’s amazing how much there is to discover beyond the usual headlines. Can’t wait to see what else surprises you on your journey! 🇮🇷✨

Welcome to the land of history, culture and civilization of proud✨IRAN✨
Land of false pride, dirty air, terrible government and naive people
Of all the amazing places you have visited in Iran, the Bam Citadel was something else! This largest adobe building in the world is out of this world! Thanks for sharing. Good job, keep up!
İranın insanları çok yardımsever iyi kalplidir ben 2 kez ziyaret ettim iranı tanıştığım insanlar büyük nezaket gösterdiler o yüzden İran halkını çok severim dünya medyasına inanmayın Türkiyeden selam herkeze.
Sizede bizden selamlar❤.herzaman istesiniz Iranda bir eviniz var❤
@sukh7923 Teşekkür ederim kardeşim.
خوش آمدید به ایران امیدوارم که خوش بگذرد برای تان سفر خوش داشته باشید ❤
i wish you could spend more time in beautiful IRAN
I’m Iranian and scared to go visit my own country. No rules, no laws, some idiot with Pasdaran uniform can ruin your entire life.
Shame on the government. Look how empty BAM is. BAM could be as vibrant as Istanbul, but with Iranian government there is always uncertainty. THEY CANNOT LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE.
@@kamranford4
I agree with you, I won’t visit Iran anymore either, I was in Bam in 2003 before the quake and it was the most wondrous and magical place I had ever seen and not a single tourist! Just me and a guide!
If it were in Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Italy or Spain you probably couldn’t get in due to crowds!
We spend our money elsewhere exactly because of the reasons you mentioned!

ایران خیلی زیبا تر از اون چیزی هست ک شما دیدین میدونم که مقصد شما الان نپال هست ولی اگر وقت کردین یک بار دیگه ب ایران سفر کنید ولی این بار در قسمت های شمالی تا با طبعیت بی نظیر ایران مواجه بشین شیراز و اصفهان هم واقعا شگفتانگیز هستند . تو دختر شجاعی هستی ❤
بحث اینه جنوب هم خودش جاهای بهشتی داره ولی ایشون کلا از مسیر کمربندی و شهر هایی که کویرین دیدن کرده
the car you mentioned at 16:49 is called "Shooti" mostly used for heavy cargo which is used for oil smuggling in south-east of Iran. they lift the car a little bit up so they can carry oils without getting attention.
Welcome to our country, Iran. We are very happy that you visit our city of Hamedan, a historical and very old city in the world.❤❤❤
hello The reason why the rear of the car is high is that it does not go down too much when placing heavy goods. I love your posts, Hasam, I live in Gorgan city, Golestan province, Iran. I promise you, if you come to my city, I will make this place like heaven for you, and I will show you everywhere and give you a great reception. I always support you and in the last sentence (you are living my dream, lady) I hope your trip is safe.
Cars whose rear suspensions have been manipulated are colloquially called "shooti". In some border cities of Iran, some people smuggle goods. The reason for this is that when all the space inside the car except for the driver's seat is filled with goods, and naturally the floor of a normal car is close to the ground. Shuti Beria drivers change the suspension of their car to prevent this from happening, as you saw, which is a funny scene :)
Honnerable job of smuggling 😂 nice description,but of course not all of these cars belong to smugglers
I wish you had more time to explore major historical cities like Shiraz, Esfahan, and Tabriz. However, every place in Iran has its own unique history and character. All the best :)
Thanks
Thank you 🌸🙏

I took my friend to Iran and she shocked how it different from main stream news!
She said she feels more secure than here in United States 😂
I live in Iran and the media is actually very accurate in Iran case!
@@mehrbhaman I live inside and outside of iran, the narratives in Iran are different from narratives for people outside.
You have to live both to understand my point.
@@E-D-U yes I also search in the internet everyday. They report only abt Iran government and it's foreign policies which is more accurate than Iranian government news.

Thanks!
Thank you for the support 🧡
I am from Iran and wish u had a great time there.
Iran has lots of unique places to visit in different provinces . Wish more tourists can come and enjoy their stay in Iran😊
Wish u had good times in my beautifull country IRAN😍❤️
Hej igen, en stor tack till dig som visar mig mitt gamla land som jag lämnade för femtio år sedan och bor i Sverige.👍
من واقعا از دیدن ویدیوهای شما لذت میبرم ، ممنون که این لحظات رو با ما به اشتراک میگذارید و باز هم به کشور ما خوش آمدید😍
I am iranian and I want to say that thank you so much to show me,my country. Because that is first time I see this place.❤❤❤😊
*In some doors, two different models of knockers are used, one in the form of a hammer and the other in the form of a ring. The sound created by hammer percussion is similar to bam and it is used by men, and also the sound created by ring percussion is similar to the one below and used by women. By doing this, the owner of the house notices the gender of the client, and one of the residents responds accordingly*
I’ve watched a lot of videos on TH-cam and I must say yours are some of the most fascinating I’ve watched! I am Iranian myself, I have lived there, but I’ve lived most of my life in Switzerland. I’ve seen most of France, the entire East Coast of the US and a lot of Switzerland + many other countries, but I’ve never seen much of Iran except a few places here and there. Your videos make me stick to my seat and watch in awe. Kudos for what you’re doing and have done. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. I also admire your courage. Excellent job! ❤👍👍🫶
❤ Greetings of love and respect to you, my dear respected lady. In fact, we do not want to hide from you that your travel diaries have become an addiction and we have become more and more eager to get to know the countries and peoples that you visit for the diversity of their beautiful cultures, customs and traditions. We hope that all your days are beautiful and safe. The clips and videos that you publish are somewhat short and reach us, but we believe that they take a lot of your time by covering long distances and there is a lot of fatigue, trouble and road dangers. Thank you for your efforts. We wish you good health and continuation for more exciting and new adventures. ❤
thank you for the tour of the citadel. we saw and filmed it just before the earthquake. it was huge, beautiful, old. mysteries and lost stories in ever corner. then much of the old city was still intact. now that part stays in ruins. But they have done an amazing job to restore the main buildings and structure. Like many point out here, thank you for your good energy and positivity, and sharing your experience with us.
It warms my heart to see you in my home country, especially since I moved to a Nordic country. I can understand the differences you may notice and how you feel. I wish you the best moments in Iran and a safe journey to your favorite place, Nepal! It's a big ride!
I think you noticed that Iranian people are very kind and hospitable and help strangers a lot, which is not seen in Europe at all
You energise us by your adventures and exploring new horizon… keep the good job🎉🎉
Hey, as an Iranian, Your Iran vlog is incredible! I'm so happy to see you experiencing all the beauty and culture this amazing country has to offer. If you haven't planned a trip to northern Iran, you should totally add it to your list! It's super lush with forests, mountains, and waterfalls. Plus, there are ancient ruins like the Gorgan Wall (it's the second biggest defensive wall after the Great Wall of China!) and lots of castles. Wishing you a safe and unforgettable journey. 💐💙
🧡🧡
Hey there again biker gal. Biker guy here. You should try a full south to north ride.
From Qeshm island to Tehran through Siraz, Isfahan till Lahijan up north via Chaloos road.
Very scenic with a wide climate variety route.
Wish you awesome and safe rides.
Cheers and TC
I wish you the best on your journey. During your video, you asked why some cars in Iran have higher trunks compared to their bodies. This modification is often used by individuals involved in smuggling, as it allows them to carry larger quantities of goods discreetly.
I'm glad you visited my country, and I truly hope you enjoyed your time here. It would be wonderful to see you back in Iran someday. Safe travels!
this is a Persia...
this is a haven ❤❤❤

If you could have a trip to Isfahan, because if you see Isfahan, it's like seeing all the history, culture, science and art of Iranian friendship in one place.
Tack krikko för att du delar med dig av det du upplever och visar oss verkligheten som är borttom den sensurerade vardagsnyheter. Vi får se genom dina videon hur folket egentligen är i Iran, Iraq o pakistan …etc.

🇮🇷 welcome to IRAN🎉🇮🇷
Also visit the historical city of Yazd🌹✌️
Thanks for coming , hope you enjoyed and I suggest you come to iran again and see the north of Iran.
I promise you won't regret it❤❤️
Ms. Krikkos, during minutes 13:15 to about 13:30 you were touching the door knocker. There were two, one big and heavy with heavy knocking sound representing a man knocking behind the door and one small, less heavy and light knocking sound representing a lady knocking at the door. This way the person inside if she was a woman then made sure she is covered up properly with Hijab or veil before opening the door if the sound was heavy therefore a man is behind the door.
HTH
Hello, the rear spring of the car is moved higher because they move loads with it i hope have good and safe and fun travel in my country

This is amazing, thank you for sharing your trip. I traveled to many touristic places in the world. Anywhere else, this kind guy would most likely ask for some money. Given the economic condition in Iran, most specifically in Bam, these acts of kindnesses and hospitalities are priceless.

Thanks nice girl for videos🌺, just you passed through the desert areas of Iran, the west of Iran and the north of Iran are completely green and forested😊
You must see the land of Khorasan, the land of the sun, the land of eastern wonders, the land of the best poets of history, Ferdowsi, Attar, Khayyam, Maulana, Rodaki, etc., from the lands of Khorasan, springs of gold flow, oh boy, I love Khorasan.

خسته نباشی من ایرانی هستم ولی اینجاهایی که تو رفتی دیدی و من تا حالا ندیده بودم برام جالب بود موفق باشی به کشور ما خیلی خوش اومدی امیدوارم تو کشور ما بهت خیلی خوش بگذره❤
it is because some of them are smugglers of some goods... when they put the loads in the car, the car balances.
Lol, I think that would be a dead give-away for police! Some sedans in Iran are used like trucks for carrying heavy loads in the trunk, so they are lifted.
@@SamSoMite421as long as you dont have anything illegal you are not in trouble
cuz doing this with the car on its own is not illegal to do
so police cant arrest you
I recently rejoined your channel after a viewing gap (since the Indian events earlier this year with Fernanda). So pleased to see the progress in your channel and travels. Congrats. What you are doing is remarkable. You are a good soul Kristina. Good to be back. Stay safe. J
u must try the Mazafati dates of Bam. best dates in the world!!
Bravo wish you all the best and happiness in IRAN 🇮🇷 you are so brave and good luck with your journey 🌎💐
Traveling alone in desert of Iran especially for women I think is dangerous. you are brave
I was in Bam after the earthquake that was December 26, 2003. Worked for the UN.
I have pictures of the Citadel from before and after the earthquake. I was very happy when you went there and showed how far they have come in the work of rebuilding it.
16:47 I don't know about that specific car, but the main reason they do that is because they're using the car for smuggling so they lift the back end so when the trunk gets full it's height gets to normal.
Yes its true , and they are called shooti
Sorooosh dadash in level bara ina qhofle .
نمیخوای کامل تر توضیح بدی آبرومونو بردین
ماشین شوتی چیه میگی
I don't think so
It's a village, so they probably use it to handle more goods from city to the village
یالا دو دو دو دو دو
As iranan believe me you will never get tired of beauty of Iran and hospitable people. . You should definitely visit north of Iran you will not get regretted.. enjoy staying in Iran👍❤️❤️🇮🇷🇮🇷
You Iranians only define your country by yourself. I was in Iran for 20 years and I don't care anymore. Iran's people are bad enough and it is a bad country.
اسعد الله مساك بكل الخير 🌹🌹
ماشاءالله عليك وصلتي إيران ..
ان شاء الله توصلي بلدك وانتي باتم صحه وعافيه ..
اتمنالك كل الخير. 😎
I hope keep enjoying lran 🇮🇷❤
Iran episodes were very nice ❤❤❤
These cars, whose rear part is high, are among the cars that smuggle diesel and gasoline in the back seat and trunk of the car to the city of Zahedan or outside the border, namely Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Welcome to Iran ❤
Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful journey ❤
Hope you enjoy your time in Iran ❤
Welcome to my country. ❤❤❤
Welcome to Iran, I hope you will see other cities of Iran and experience a pleasant trip🌷🌷
I just saw your channel today by accident and i found out that you are traveling in my country (IRAN), I saw how you suprised by visiting that anccient village, i'm here to tell you : THERE ARE MORE, MORE THAN YOU THINK so I WISH you came back one day and visit the other states. You are so welcoming here .. have fun and take care
من الان ویدئوی این بنده خدا رو دیدم و با خودم گفتم 18 ساعته گذاشته بیام جواب سوالش در مورد ماشینای شوتی رو بنویسم که دیدم وای چقدر هم وطن مشتاق و علاقه مند با توضیحات مبسوط قبل از من اینکار رو کردن.بعدش کامنت ها رو خوندم و اینقدر دلم سوخت، برای این کشور و زیبایی هاش دلم سوخت، برای این همه انسان با فرهنگ و میهمان دوست دلم سوخت و گفتم کامنت رو برای هم وطن هام بنویسم. ایران میتونست بزرگترین مقصد توریستی دنیا باشه اگر احمق های مسلمون نما میذاشتن. توی کشورهای توریستی دنیا کلاهبردارها دهن توریست ها رو سرویس میکنن، ولی ایران از این لحاظ هم خیلی بهتره. ای کاش قبل مرگم آزادی و عزت ایران و ایرانی رو به چشمم ببینم. واقعا هند که مردمشتوی کوچه و خیابون میرینن باید اینقدر توریست داشته باشه بعد ایران ما!!!
چون تو هند توریست رو نمیگرن بچپونن زندان 10 سال بی دلیل نگش دارن اخرش با یه تروریست طاق بزنن. این دیوثای اروپایی هم بدون توجه به هشدارهایی که دولتشون میده پا میشن میان اینجا، بعضیاشون بدجور به گا میرن. هر چی هم بگی تو کتشون نمیره باید دهنش صاف بشه تا بفهمه.
Next time, you should visit north and north west of Iran which is green and extremely beautiful. A very different climate from the South!
Helo Braveheart ❤❤
I commend you and your courage. I am Iranian and haven’t need there for 10 years. I tell you, you are braver than I am. Not only going to the unknown but also with a bike. You should definitely put Isfahan on your next visit. You will love it.
because they can put more stuff in the back of the car (more weight ) 17:05
Yes your right
I’m Iranian
Some objects and places seem to have a soul; if that's true, your bike and Arg-e-Bam definitely do. I hope you can bring your bike home after your journey is complete. As for Arg-e-Bam, it’s heartbreaking to see it so empty and abandoned. I wish it could regain its former glory, a hope that extends to Iran as a whole.
I've heard lifting the rear end of the car is done for aesthetic reasons (?) and to improve handling when taking sharp turns at high speed. From what I understand, this isn't as common in other parts of Iran as it appears in the southeast and Bam.
Bon courage in the rest of the journey ...
Hej, jag tackar dig för att du rest till mitt land. Jag hoppas att du också kommer att resa till min stad (Hamedan) så att vi kan välkomna dig.

You are using the wrong flag. That flag is for the occupier Islamic regime. Iran’s real flag has Lion and Sun on it.
I would love to see Iran. I really like the way people are in these places, I never had any problems, people were so nice when I was in the near east...
Watching one of your previous clips we were sort of annoyed it seemed very few were pestering you but this clip was much more peaceful and nice, good stuff, and you brought us all good memories back in Europe , well done, take care, thank you,👍👍❤
So good of you to visit my country and show places I haven't seen,you have so very kind words about the country, lastly question about cars "the area is close to many boarders and I unfortunately believe the cars are used for smuggling,anything really not necessarily narcotics "
May Allah keep you safe, well and contented with your adventures.
