Esfahan is considered as one of the most beautiful cities in Iran, the jewel of the islamic world...

We camp in the Esfahan Tourist-Inn, just next to the university...also a well know adress by other overlanders.

Another Land Rover is joining us, a dutch guy travelling alone since 8 months.

Esfahan and its beautiful mosques...

Inside one of the main mosque...

Relax ...

Schoolgirls ...

The young Iranians are trendy...

The immense bazaar...where it's possible to find everything !

Hand-painted miniatures on camel bone ...

The bristles of the brush are made of cat bristles...

The artist finds Lisa so cute. According to him she looks like 'Scheherazade' !

He asks us if he can sketch her ...

Hand-printed tablecloths with natural colours...Superb !

During the price negociation with the son who speaks english, the old man sleeps...

Curiously, when we pay he wakes up ! 

After the tablecoth, Catherine likes a lot the tiles...

She likes also a lot the spices...

In fact, she likes everything here...

Iranians appreciate sugar...

The children appreciate a lot too !

After Esfahan, its wonderful mosques, its bazaar and its handicraft...we will take the road again for western Iran ...
