Lousy, terrible hotel we had to stay in Naaien. It looked nice from the outside but it was just horrible although it was called The Narcissus Hotel!! Don't take me wrong, Naaien is a small beautiful historical city known for its great carpets.
This Zoroastrian Fire Temple (Atashkadeh) dates back to early Sasanian period. Built during the reign of Emperor (Shahanshah) Ardeshir Babakan, the first ruler of the empire, it is 1700 years old and is located in Niyasar just north of Kashan. Let there be no doubt who invented the dome and the arch, Iranians did!
But not as many as previous years!!

Many accidents on the road!!
