Itinerary (Tehran's Religions tour):

Day 1: Tehran

Tehran has had a vibrant Zoroastrian, Armenian and Jewish community for more than 200 years. Zoroastrians are the oldest religious community in Iran and according to the official census, there were 25 thousand Zoroastrians in the country in 2011. Judaism is one of the oldest religions practiced in Iran and the Biblical Book of Esther contains references to the experiences of the Jews in Persia. Jews have had a continuous presence in Iran since the time of Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Empire. Armenians are mostly concentrated in Tabriz, Tehran, and Isfahan's Jolfa quarter, and an estimated 70000 to 200000 remain in the country.

This excursion will begin at 9 AM, by visiting The Armenian Apostolic Cathedral of Saint Sarkis Cathedral, which is famous due to its beautiful paintings of Avedik Aivazyan. Later we visit the Jewish Synagogue and the Zoroastrian Fire Temple, Atashkadeh Adrian, and finally, we end the excursion by visiting the Armenian Church and Museum of St Mary.
