well said

I gave up on that argument, it was going round in circles and i didn't understand his 'I'm a laydeee' point at all

He'll reply when he's finished his lunch date with Jim Davidson

Get off your high horse.

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.

bandwagon jumper.. enough said.

Eeyore or another mod, time to close this one as I am sure the familiar faces are about to start again..

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

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

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)

Kish has definitely created a debate on this thread i think i will stick with the advice from BC & just drive to Hatta

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

Hi

I spent 1 month in Tehran - amazing place only downside is everyone trys to rip you off.

might have to go myself soon because my Egyptian colleagues cannot go to Iran.

Good food, coffee shops, lots to see and do

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.
