Aram translates as Garden of Paradise. This is a huge garden with a magnificent looking palace in it. The mosaics on the walls of the fortress tell stories concerning the life of Shah Abbes the Great, who is recognizable by his large whiskers. For some time we look at the palace, then we walk a bit from side to side of the garden and at last we settle on a bench to look at the schoolchildren play. At first, we feel a bit like one of the things to see of Shiraz, but after ten minutes the kids get used to us and things tranquiled. We stay here for almost an hour, and then it's time to turn out to be active again. But first, eat! Who was it that suggested a 'light snack' at the Home Hotel?
After having a lunch we visit one of Shiraz' seller houses, called the Naranjestan Estate. This residence was built only for the multiple glory of the merchant, and it shows. We are acquainted with Iranians love tiled mirrors, but this seems a bit exaggerated. But after a few minutes you get used to this extravaganza. We even started to appreciate it.
When visiting time is over, we start for the market. Pieter gave a promise his mother to take some real Iranian material with him, so we spend approximately an hour comparing the wares and costs of the diverse shops and one more hour bargaining for a good worth.
Persepolis or Jams hid as the Iranians call it, was built in about 500 BC by the Achaemenian Kings Darius, Xerxes and their successors. The site of Persepolis is really huge, over 125.000 m2. You can with no trouble spend a whole day here and still be able to find out things you haven't seen earlier than.
