										Tehran as follow:
										
										Background :
										
										Tehran: Established as 
										the capital of Persia just over 200 
										years ago , this huge , modern and 
										heavily populated city , does not have 
										the romance nor the ancient sites which 
										attract visitors to many other parts of 
										Iran , but it is the place to find the 
										country's best museums , restaurants and 
										shopping.
										
										Visits :
										
										Our tour of Tehran begins 
										with visiting the impressive 
										Archeological ,Glass & Ceramic Museum , 
										continues in the TEHRAN - morning tour 
										of Carpet , Archaeological & 
										Ethnological Museums followed by a visit 
										to the shrine of Imam Khomeini. (BD)
										
										In order to glean an 
										overview of Iran's rich history and 
										culture , visits to three of Tehran's 
										museums are highly worthwhile.
										
										ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUMIt is here where we are 
										introduced to Iran's long and 
										fascinating history. The museum exhibits 
										artifacts representing all periods in 
										Persian antiquity , many discovered in 
										sights visited during your tour.
										
										ETHNOLOGICAL MUSEUMHere colorful displays 
										help us to understand the ethnic 
										diversity , which exists within Iranian 
										society , by illustrating the customs 
										and traditional dress of many of the 
										country's 100 tribal groups.

										| Lunch |  |  
										| PM | Jewels Museum 
										After lunch 
										we visit the Crown Jewels Museum to 
										marvel at the Peacock Throne of the Shah 
										& his other brilliant treasures (Subject 
										to opening rules). 
										
										CARPET MUSEUMPersian rugs are 
										considered to be among the finest in the 
										world and the art of carpet weaving is 
										believed to be as old as Persian history 
										itself.
										
										This museum contains a 
										wonderful array of pieces dating back as 
										early as the 15th century , ranging from 
										stately court carpets to nomadic rugs 
										distinguished by their lively , wild , 
										naive designs. |
