Watching the Perseid meteor shower
The joy of slipping free of the Earth

About this experience
After 35 years of living and experiencing a lot of things, seeing so many meteors in just a few hours is still one of the most special experiences I've ever had. ✨ Now I want to experience it again, this time alongside you. 📍 Destination: a cool highland area with a wide plain, 2 hours from Tehran, with an open horizon and good conditions for watching the Perseid meteor shower. (This year the moonlight will get in the way of the meteors as little as possible.) 🚗 Getting there: in private cars (If you don't have a car, we can arrange for you to ride with other friends.) The plan 🌿 Leave Tehran: 3 pm 🌅 Arrive, set up camp and watch the sunset 🥘 Dinner and a get-together in nature 🌌 Once the sky is completely dark, we switch off any extra lights and watch the Perseid meteor shower until the early hours 📷 A chance to photograph the night sky, for anyone interested 😴 A few hours of rest in nature 🍳 Breakfast together 🚗 Head back to Tehran: 11 am 🏙 Arrive in Tehran: 2 pm

Frequently asked questions
If we can't come in our own car, can we still join?
Yes. Since it's a friendly trip, we'll coordinate with you through the Telegram group about which of the others you'll travel with.
I don't have camping gear. What should I do?
Well, it's better if you have your own, but if not, we'll do our best to arrange something for you.
Do we need an off-road vehicle to reach the final location?
No, the route is easy and smooth, and you can get there in any vehicle.
Is there any benefit if we give one of the others a ride in our car?
Yes. The price difference between the without-car and with-car options will be paid to the driver after the trip.
Can we play upbeat music?
No. By its nature, this trip calls for quiet. That said, soft music is possible if most of the group agrees.
If the trip is cancelled because of unforeseen events (such as war, etc.), will the money I paid be refunded?
Yes, absolutely. If any problem comes up, the full amount you paid will be returned to you.
