For ages 9-14. Iran the land brings to life the country previously known to the world for centuries as Persia.

Other topics include: how people obtain water in the desert; ancient site of Persepolis, or Takht-e Jamshid, and the treasures buried there; oases and highlands; the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Shiraz; the country’s wildlife including ibexes, gazelles, and jackals; the discovery of oil and its impact on the Iranian economy.
