UAE - Caucasus - Iran

Iran is a mysterious destination I had always imagined to visit. The difficulty in getting a visa stopped me until recently I learned on TV that a Chinese guy visited Iran to check out the historical sites before a possible damage by war. Since there are some diplomatic issues between Canada and Iran at the moment, I used iranianvisa.com visa service to apply for my visa. I eventually got a 7 day visa (enough for me) 3 months after I started the process. The Caucasus is also a destination with rare visitors. Because of its proximity to Iran, I decided to check it out as well. Using overland to cross borders has always been my favorite. Living in Bangkok, Dubai seems to be a reasonable stopover since it has fights to both the Caucasus and Iran.
