Use my Holafly eSIM code CARRIE for 5% off here: https://holafly.sjv.io/yqYQND for your next trip! I was connected throughout my time in Iran thanks to Holafly! As war and foreign intervention dominate the news, I wanted to share the Iran I experienced just months before everything changed. This is not a political explainer. This is a cultural time capsule. From the bustling Grand Bazaar in Tehran to the breathtaking mosques of Isfahan and the warmth of a local family in Qom, this is the side of Iran the media doesn't show you. Heartbreakingly, some of the historic sites in this video have already been reported as damaged.
