Another beautiful city in Iran is Abadan. This city was damaged during the war between Iran and Iraq. Unfortunately, many citizens were killed and some were captured. The city has many oil refineries and is, in fact, one of the most important economic hubs in Iran. Abadan harbors help the city's economy.

Interesting things about the city

This city was formerly a residence of Americans. So, in some parts of this city you may see the style of European and American architecture. Another tourist destination is the 60-year-old church. A very beautiful church. One year, people of Abadan went to this church for the New Year and celebrated with Christians.

What you will be seeing in Abadan is the sincere interest of the men of this city in Ray Ban's sunglasses. In one of the city's squares, they have installed a symbol of Rey Ben's sunglasses. That was really funny to me.

Another area that should be seen is the old city's architecture that was destroyed during the war and remained a reminder of that era for the people of this city. The symbol of resistance, patience, heroism and sacrifice for the homeland.

Tourism in the city

You can stay in the city for affordable prices. Depending on the exchange rate, you will not have a problem to pay and is quite affordable. If you ever come to this city, try local native foods, because these foods are not found anywhere in Iran with this quality and taste. Falafel is one of Abadan's most famous cuisines, which is also found in street stalls. This dish can be prepared for sandwiches and peas. Peas along with other foods fried in oil and served with mustard in it. The food is a bit spicy, so do not forget to take a drink along with this meal.

Another beauty of the city is the indigenous clothes of the people. Men wear high-quality, high-quality cotton and bright colors. Women wear colorful clothes and cover their faces with mask. A popular custom of the city is using henna. Women paint henna with beautiful designs on their hands and feet, and tourists have always tried it. So, if you want to try and surely you will not regret it and if you do not like it, after one month duration the henna is cleared from the skin.
