昔々、トルコに抜けるときに持っていました。米国との関係が悪く、なかなかダークなイメージの抜けない国ですが、植民地時代のレトロな高級腕時計やペルシャ文明の遺物が古道具屋で売っていたり、国内航空券が破格の安さだったり、チャイハネで結構容赦なく皆が体制批判してたり、非常に面白い国でした。ガソリン国内では１リットル数円。内海で有名なキャビアを食そうと高級ホテル（でも超安い）にいったのですが、メニューにあっても現物がない。文句を言ったら、髭の親父に「お前の国にみんな輸出している。自分の国で食え」と言われました。最も印象に残っているのは、スペイン人のパッカーが「この国は全然宗教的でない」と感想を言っていたこと。モロッコなんかの統制のキツイ回教国では、お祈りの放送が流れると時間が止まるらしいのですが、テヘランを含むこの国ではそんなことありませんでした。お酒が飲めないのが少し辛いところですが、この国は政情さえ安定しているなら旅行には良いですよ。

A welcome replacement for the previous edition.
2006/5/21
形式:ペーパーバック
These are some excerpts from the new edition from the section entitled 'The National Psyche':
"Iranians are the most surprising people. Where you might expect them to be austere they are charming; rather than dour, they are warm, and instead of being hostile to foreigners, they are welcoming and endlessly curious".
"Iranians are not frightening people. They are generally warm and welcoming to an extent that can be embarassing to Westerners."
"...the Iranian system of courtesy [...] makes Iran a haven for travellers - you will be treated with unfailing politeness wherever you go."
Now compare this with the attitude taken by the racist idiot who wrote the previous (third) edition and one realises what a huge difference it makes when the guide authors actually appreciate and enjoy being in the country about which they write.
A welcome (and IMO absolutely necessary) new edition of the guide. Lonely Planet has shown shrewd judgment in replacing the previous one as well as its author.

Open hearts & minds to Iran!

Lonely Planet Iran (Country Guide)
This guide added immeaurably to my just-completed & thorougly enjoyable three-week vist to Iran. As the authors stress in the opening chapters, Western perceptions of Iran are largely based on government propaganda, ours as well as Iran's.
They also point out the huge differences between public and private life.
For example, alcohol may be government banned, but it is available for anyone who really wants it.
The Iranians are warm,friendly, and most of them do not hesitate to tell us "We love you! We love America!" Getting free of effusive schoolgirls--high school and university--who want to take our photos, can be difficult. I missed a mosque & a couple of old homes in Natanz because of this entrapment!
November was an ideal month, perfect weather throughout the country including sunshine in Tabriz and the Caspian Sea region which can be bitterly cold in the winter.
I didn't like having to wear the hijab in public, but this and no access to ATMs were small prices to pay for an invaluable experience. Burke and Elliott's Lonely Planet Iran makes both an ideal introduction to a visit and encapsulates everything one wants to remember about various sites from Persepolis to the flourishing bazaars in every city.
I would encourage everyone, especially Americans, to visit Iran. Ignorance on both sides is a problem that can be dispelled by first-hand experience.

2008 Edition is one of the strongest Lonely Planet guides

I've used over 20 Lonely Planet guides, of widely varying quality. The 2008 Iran guide is one of the very best I've used, from historic background information to feet-on-the-ground travel pragmatics:
* The maps are excellent. There are multiple maps of the largest cities and there are very helpful detailed maps of key sites such as Persepolis or the Haram-e Razavi shrine in Mashhad.
* There is thorough background information on culture, history and religion which helped me understand the country and the sites better. The general tone is benign and factual.
* The hotel and restaurant guides seem accurate and pragmatic. I had to trudge around a number of hotels in Tehran while searching for a room and the Lonely Planet descriptions seemed consistently on the mark.
* The specific coverage of cities and historic sites, and the suggested walking tours were helpful and accurate.
* There is copious and (allowing for the vagaries of the bus companies) accurate information on train and bus schedules, travel times and costs.
I often saw other travelers consulting various editions of this guide in Iran. It seems to have become the standard. It deserves it!
