Book "Unforgettable Iran". Hitchhiking in Iran from August to October 2011
In Ramadan, the bazaar was open until eleven or twelve in the afternoon, then closed until six in the evening. But after sunset, the real trade began. Sweets made from flour, eggs, honey and sugar prepared especially for Ramadan were brought to the counters: “zoulbiya” in the form of a ring and “bamiya” in the form of balls. We all washed down with a national drink - freshly squeezed juice, for example, melons are served with crushed ice. In makeshift canteens, porridge was served with pieces of chicken - "halim". It is served in a very interesting way: first they put porridge, then put five or six tablespoons of sugar on the right side of the plate, and a few tablespoons of cinnamon and some other seasoning on the left, everything needs to be mixed thoroughly and eaten.

I also managed to visit the jewelry market, it seemed to me that it occupies a whole block! I have never seen so much gold, jewelry here is sold like pies from a stall - one seller serves ten customers in a small kiosk. With the permission of the owner, I take pictures of the necklace and bracelets I like and tell him that in Russia there are usually five security guards and one customer in the store, and photography is prohibited.
- How much is a gram of gold, - I ask, looking at the bracelet.
- It depends on the price on the exchange, - the seller answers and shows the calculations on the calculator, now one gram of pure gold costs ~52 dollars, the prices for products vary from $70 to $90 per gram, depending on the sample. I advise you to buy 750 gold, the rest of the alloy is silver. Do you want to buy this bracelet?
“I don’t know if a woman in Russia would wear it, it’s so massive, we often wear chains, ” I answer
- The bracelet is a very good gift, Iranian women are very fond of gold and wear it a lot.
Indeed, later I often saw women wearing such massive bracelets, I didn’t see chains on anyone, because a woman’s neck is usually closed. Probably, bracelets are loved precisely because they can be flaunted.
