Hello everyone!

Before I describe myself, please note this:

Because the CS website is blocked in Iran, I can't check my messages very often. Please text me on WhatsApp!

I am Ebrahim Nazarian, and I have Armenian rutes, but I was burned and raised in Iran. I would describe myself as a kind and considerate person and, at the same time, honest and straight. I want to discover as many cultures as possible. I am very open-minded and you can discuss everything with me. actually, I want us to sit together and talk about each other's lives and culture and religion and everything. Talk about the philosophy of life and everything that we find interesting. I want to teach and learn and grow, so I expect you to spend some time with me and my family and share travel stories and opinions. Please consider this as my house rule. If you are tired and want to sleep only, please go to a hotel or hostel. I am not on CS for providing travelers with free accommodation.

We are a couple living in Kashan with our 8 years old son. I work as a driver guide and English teacher. We love to get to know people from other countries, learn more about their lives, and share our culture and traditional foods with them.

I love to help and host as much as possible. I mean all travelers with good mood and interesting characters, so please tell me anything you may need. I am happy to help and maybe host :)

On a few occasions, I got messages from some travelers with a rather selfish attitude. and I denied them, and they wrote negative things about me. I decided to keep such experiences away from my home, so please read my profile. In my home we can cook special meals for you that you can't find in restaurants you should ask me to cook for you. In that case you are expected to buy some ingredients or pay something for the meal. We like you to learn about our culture and that is why we cook traditional foods. We can pay for ingredients if you can kindly cook for us as well. We want to spend some time together like old friends. I will receive you in my place like a close friend from childhood so please come to my home with a similar attitude :)

Everyone from every country is welcomed to my home. We are all humans and equall so don't hesitate if you want to stay with me and my family. But I have some expectations. I expect you to be polite, clean, and respect my house as it's your home. Smoking is possible only in balcony and please don't smoke indoors. It makes my wife angry, Lol.

As a plus, we have a special breakfast, which is not normal for travelers. It's bigger than any food you may have eaten. I can get it from only a special restaurant that serves only very early in the morning and bring home so you can experience this part of our culture.
It costs 5€ per person, and naturally, everyone pays his part. but it's possible to share if you are more than one person traveling together. you can also skip it if you want.

Finally, we wish you all the best and good memories from Iran and Iranians. Hope to see you soon in Kashan. 😊

Ibrahim and family❤️

Interests

In kashan the main things to visit are 3 attractions :
1- Historical houses and agha Bozorge mosque.
2- The Bazaar.
3- Fin Garden.

1-To visit historical houses you will need half a day. the distance between our home to Historical house is less than 2 kilometers. To get there I suggest you to walk and walk around historical houses and beautiful old neighborhood around Alavi Street.
There is the old wall of the city and a castel. Inside the castle is farm. At the end of the farm is a way you can climb to the top of the old wall. You can get a perfect view there.

Historical houses are in the middle of Alavi Street.
You will need to buy the tickets to visit Historical house. The tickets for each house will cost around 1.5 Euros.
Three main historical houses including:
A. Tabatabai house.
B. Abbasian house.
C. Sultan Amir Ahmad bath house.
It's better to visit historical houses in the morning because of photography light and temperature between April to August.
There is a Shrine next to Tabatabai house that is ticket free and nice to visit. Then walk to Agha bozorg mosque near Bazaar that is also ticket free.

2. The Bazaar
Second thing to visit in Kashan is bazaar that is in the middle of the city in the historical part and to get there from our house is 10 min walk. There you will see many different shops that sells handcrafts and also the main product of Kashan that is aromatic rosewater and herbal extract.
You can find several exchange office in Bazaar. The best place to exchange is an office with the rate written on the board.
The best time to visit every day shopping of local people is in the evening from sunset until 2hours after sunset in summer and two hours before sunset in cold seasons. The main thing to visit in Bazaar is called " Timche Amin al-dowle" that is located in the center of Bazaar that is a kind of old mall with a big yard with the pool in between and several shops around with a very beautiful huge roof with fine tile work.
The next thing to visit is a bath house called "Khan" this place is also very beautiful and very natural an authentic and you can drink tea or eat traditional food.

3. Fin Garden
Fin Garden is outside the city and to get there you need a ride. I can help you with transportation if you don't have a snap application on your phone.
