The first city that I'd like to write about is "Tehran", which is a capital of Iran. I was born and grew up there. It is a large city with huge population which is around 8.5 million. Many people immigrate from all over Iran to Tehran. Because they can find more jobs with higher salary also they can have more facilities.

One of my favorite place in Tehran is its Bazaars, there are 2 famous bazaar, Tehran's bazaar and Tajrish, the former is located the south of Tehran while the latter is located the north of Tehran.You can find everything you want in these bazaars.
Also there are places and mansions such as:
Golestan Palace: pronounced "Khakheh Golestān" Shamsolemare"is the former royal Qajar complex. That belongs to 150 years ago.
