So you haven't been there then.

And of course, the people going to Kish for their visa runs are shunning a weekend at the Chedi to do so. Or maybe they have no choice because its the cheapest and most viable option for them. Nothing to do with them being a 'lady' or not.

well said :thumbsup:

My response was to SamFTQ that was considering a trip to Kish instead of another destination - someone with a choice.
Stop trying to turn it into a predudice, or a racial slur.

Once I get a new passport.. insha'allah...

Four of my (female) friends just got back from a trip to Iran... they loved it.

Re: Visa Question

I honestly can't wait.

I really thought it would be far more difficult to get a visa but it wasn't tough at all. Just expensive (dh1,000)

oh there's no fundamental debate.

For a resort holiday break from a resort holiday lifestyle, BC's advice is spot on.

I only mentioned Kish to demonstrate that there are alternatives (even if you can afford a resort holiday visa run) which show you something other than the inside of yet another 5* hotel lobby! Of course each to his taste :thumbup:

It's all relative isn't it? They think they've ripped you off. You think you got a bargain.

I've booked into a converted palace in Shiraz. USD60 a night.
