Iran Hotel (Tehran) how does the system work?

Armin jan, I wouldn't recommend Homa Hotel to Markus. It's nice, but it's an OLD hotel. Nowadays, there are many better hotels that I send people to. We would send our business guests to Homa (the location is ideal), but the feedback we got wasn't very positive, so we have now shifted to Parsian Azadi Hotel (for our important guests, others we choose less expensive hotels)

Markus, if you want to be super close to the airport, there is Novotel Airport Hotel which is the only Iranian hotel handled by an international brand. Hotel in TEHRAN - Novotel Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport

However, I'd only recommend this if you want to go to a meeting in the Airport, go back to hotel, rest and leave. Because the Airport & Hotel are far from the city, you can't exactly walk around or visit anywhere close. I've never had anyone stay there ,because fck man, the airport is way far.

I had a guest a few days back who we booked him a room at Espinas Palace Hotel. He was from Germany and he absolutely loved it. It is a new hotel, small construction is still going on, and when wife and I dropped him at the hotel, I had the desire to stay there. I didn't go inside, but the view is amazing. The hotel is at Saadat Abad (north of Tehran), the location itself is higher than other areas, so you see Tehran from where you stand. If you get a room at a high floor facing this view, I'm sure it will be beautiful. Just remember, this is not the older Espinas Hotel, it is the newer Espinas Palace Hotel. Because it is new, even taxis make the mistake if you are not clear.

However, the one I send most of my VIPs too is Parsian Azadi Hotel. Never heard a complaint, but sometimes hard to get a booking. The building is old but it is fully renovated.

Oh, by the way, @MarkusS , you have a private email address? I can't figure out how to send PMs here.

Thanks Man.

My information is 5 years old and with the speed Iran moves, probably irrelevant.

thank you very much for your information.

To give some info, if im chosen to be part of the team i would be there to teach staff in engine maintenance, give powerpoint presentations and so on. Do multiplicator lessons. Since most of this would be at the airport it should be close to it. It must not be directly near it since we would have a fix time schedule but i would not like to travel 2 hours each day for the 2-4 weeks i´m there each morning and evening.

I have an email. Its markusschoener@gmail.com

Mount Damavand is a 5,671 m tall stratovolcano. Good luck climbing it

Are you going to Iran to teach Iranian staff engine maintenance or Airbus staff? It would be good for Iranians to do the job. They have experience in fixing loads of those old GE engines

and yes i would be a tutor then , if im part of the team.

don't let them discourage you , Damavand is very easy to climb compared to many other mountains even in Iran . just don't try it solo .

I know. Many believe a mountain is dangerous for its height...but thats not true. The most dangerous mountain in the world is the Alps...the Eiger is a monster.

I saw many climb on Damavand it i´m very fit so i think its not a big problem at all. As you say yourself it should not be done alone. I´ll go up to 6000 meters in the Andes this november. And i´m excited how i will take the thin air.

not the most dangerous one, the honor belong to Annapurna I , Kangchenjunga ,K2
if you want to climb those three you have a fatality chance of 42%, 22% and 19.1% well while all the mountain climbing fatalities are decreasing that Kangchenjunga is actually managed to increase its death toll in recent years ,Eiger have higher death because a lot more people attempted it. by the way you used north wall or other routes ? Did you attempted it at summer or Winter?

by the way after climbing The Eiger this one most be interesting for you not as dangerous as the Geizer but still a challenge

Is called Alam-Kuh and the summit is 4848m , that picture is the north face and is 800m of vertical climbing.
its in Takhte-Suleiman Massif (an area of 30x40km with 160 distinct peak abobe 4km)

or you can go to Syah-Sang again in Takhte-Suleiman Massif its 4604m

I never climbed the Eiger. I´m not into extreme climbing. I like hiking and since im very much into fitness stuff i love to climb mountains but not that dangerous ones. I mean i´m realistic. I would propably have no problem to climb Everest from a fitness point of view...but i´m arrogant as **** and would not like to come back with frozen off nose, fingers.

You never know what happens and it can happen when you dont expect it. I was pretty idiotic this december. I was on La Reunion and saw a massive Lava flow which was created in an eruption of the volcano in 2004. I saw there where holes so i walked there and climbed down in the lava tubes. It was pretty hot and humid down there and i was fascinated by the stuff:

I went deeper and deeper. The way became smaller and smaller. At the end i had to crawl on the ground and suddenly started to feel sick. I guess because low oxygen levels there. I started to feel worse and worse and went back. There where some moments i feared i don´t make it back. I was barely able to lift myself up at the entrance because my legs and arms where shaking and i think i had sit under a nearby tree for over an hour before i walked back to hotel.

Thats exactly why i would never do this alone again. Damavand looks easy but you never know what happens and when you are alone you have a problem. In restrospect i feel like complete idiot. I mean if my flashlight failed for example i would have been fucked.

you see the river like area that's Alam-chal in winter its a not so welcoming glacier

well, I'm sure of one thing you cant make me climb into any hole, I knew my limits and narrow areas were you have to crawl into them is my limit and are you sure your situation was because of high humidity and low oxygen and high temprature, maybe you have some sort of claustrophobia , your signs a little look like it

 

[MarkusS]

Its very interesting. How do you speak those names with oo?

glaciers are pretty dangerous. Idk but i would avoid them. I think most in europe don´t know what Iran looks like. Before i was there that few days i believed its pretty much dessert and mosques, and camels and palms. Don´t get me wrong. I dont mean it in a bad way. I just didn´t know better.

I don´t know. I never feared such things. Maybe it was a mixture of evrything. It was 38°C down there. Humidity up to 95%. There was one area where it went so narrow when i went back that it was like 40cm wide only...so i had to crawl on my belly for a distance of maybe 50 meters. The surface of the tunnels look surreal. They glitter in the light. They look like liquid, because the molten rock cooled pretty fast. I bumped my head and my flash light felt off, it was very hard to turn around to get it back and while doing so i lost my glove and pressing my weight on my hand on the relative sharp stones on the floor did hurt pretty much...so you might have a point because that was the moment where i started to not react pretty rational anymore.

I would not do this anymore alone. And i showed me how fast things can go wrong. I would not want to have such an experience again.

Hard to explain better to hear it first hand
Kooh pronunciation: How to pronounce Kooh in Persian

The one pronounced by Feria2 is how you want to pronounce it .

I read a blog from a European who climbed Damavand. It was excellent but I can't find it unfortunately. He said the actual climb was OK But the big issue was the weather. Massive snowstorms. And when he got up there, obviously the oxygen was thin but also you have to be ready to breath in Sulphur because it is after all a volcano. 5th tallest volcano in the world by elevation and 4th by prominence.

actually you must be unlucky to get into a snow storm while climbing Damavand, and if you look for sulfur you must climb Taftan .its about 3941m , and the last time it was active was 1993

this is the usual view there ,in Damavand you may smell sulphor in Taftan you feel it completely .

Damavand is fairly straight and easy ,if you look for challenge some smaller mountain in Iran are far more challenging.but if some body want to conquer "Volcanic Seven summits" , he definitely must conquer Damavand
