I’d enjoy wandering around, taking a meal in the little alcove at the Caravanserai Restaurant, and visiting some of those heritage buildings and colorful carpet stores. I’m sad to hear that uncontrolled development is taking a toll on the older buildings, that’s always a challenge as cities grow and change, isn’t it?<br />westygrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473457097748925591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006989774341308826.post-66888360912561896572018-03-07T11:09:47.355+08:002018-03-07T11:09:47.355+08:00History and archaelogy fascinate us too.

The place is indeed nothing short of a revelation. It seems as if time seems to have stood still as I look at the pictures of this city which has such an old world charm.The cobbled stone street, the buildings all have such a majestic aura. Truly a place straight out of a fairy tale.sandy n vyjayhttp://www.imvoyager.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006989774341308826.post-43780770050679815292018-03-07T04:41:05.576+08:002018-03-07T04:41:05.576+08:00looks like a really amazing little city.

The photos and your words give me a much better context. The architecture and statues are beautiful I particularly like the Aliagha Vahid. Nice to see its a laidback city, I've bookmarked and definitely on my list to check out.

Surprising indeed that with that many inhabitants that the old city was sparcely trafficed. Loved seeing the flame towers over the old city roofs.

I think it is a real shame when Old Town's have had their heart sucked out of them, it is often to do with the lack of people living in them or they have been cleaned up for the tourists.
