The first group of the 7 Summits Club on Damavand spent its first day in the Iranian capital in a meaningful way
Guide and manager of the 7 Summits Club Anastasia Kuznetsova reports from Iran:
Greetings to all from hot Persia! So our summer season has started on Damavand. Today we met our first group, an already well-coordinated team. Most of the members have climbed Elbrus and Kilimanjaro together before.
The day turned out to be eventful and full of impressions. The acquaintance with Tehran began with a tasting of a local traditional dish - dizi. The most famous restaurant is located in the Grand Bazaar area in a historic building where the very first bank in Iran used to be.
A shared photo with the owner of the restaurant is attached. Of course, we visited Golestan, reviewed all the shah's palaces of the Qajar era, the tombstone of the last Shah, copies of thrones, the diamond hall, gifts of the shah, for which a separate building was built.
We were introduced to Tehran by the beautiful Maryam, professor of the Russian language department at the university and an expert in local history.
The evening and the welcome dinner were held in the panoramic revolving restaurant of the Milad TV tower with a view of the evening sparkling Tehran.
We discussed all the details of tomorrow and, of course, congratulated Viktor Alexandrov on his birthday! We are very glad that he decided to spend his BD with us!
The guides are in touch with you - Valery Myasoyedov, Evgeny Fedyunin, Anastasia Kuznetsova.
