Thumbs up Iran - Tabriz

Hotel Morvarid, Imam Khomeini Ave., on a big roundabout. More visible is the entrance gate to another, bigger and posher hotel next door.

10/18 Euro, breakfast about 2.5 Euro, really hot water, bike parks in the lounge.

The hotel next door is more modern and has an underground garage, roughly twice the price.

Bewdy, that's me.

Where are you now? I'm in Yadz at the moment leaving for Esfahan in the morning (12 Nov). Staying with friends of friends. If we hook up in time I'm sure I could score you a bed and a tour (and they drink !). I'll check the net in the morning before I set off.

I'm staying at the Silk Road in Yadz. Highly recommended - wonderful ambience, in the old city, with bike parking inside (tricky park but secure). Missed Kenneth by a day - the theft of his helmet is the talk of the district!

Cheers Brett

You're making me envious, can't you pretend it's not much fun...

The helmet sounds like a bit of a useless acquisition for the thief, then, unless it's taken out of the area. [Police are currently searching for a moped rider wearing a helmet...]

A shame, it's not typical of Iranian hospitality, is it.

Hi Stephan,

Yeah, ah, terrible time.

Bunch of rough young kids around the place. I've deputised them and put them on the payroll. Bike's never been safer. They're beating up adults going over to have a look at the bike. Great viewing.

The stolen helmet didn't really have much to with "Iranians"...the kids are 5-10 years old. Reckon I might've pinched a helmet at that age...

Cheers
Brett

Can agree Hotel Morvarid, Imam Khomeini Ave is fine - really good showers. Bike in Hotel just - had to lift back end as the ramp too short for Honda VFR750 (PRExpressions)

Dec 2007 I am paying 14 dollar a night (no breakfast, no internet) but clean small room, with a fridge, great shower, very hot radiator and friendly helpful management also included two free earth tremours (updated 4 free earth tremours) but toilet paper extra!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
