Iran
Right into the Axis of Friendship
Iran turned out as a very friendly and easy holiday country with excellent roads and infrastructure. Calling the people friendly and hospitable would be an understatement, I instantly felt at home as a guest in their country. I can only recommend going there. Great landscape, ancient culture and you are never alone (in a positive way, the people know when you rather want to be alone).

Those are the typical monstrous Mercedes trucks seen on Iranian roads. There are other brands, too, though.
