Tehran is located southern than example. Sicily, but has the city altitude of around 2500 meters. The evaluation alone was difficult because we were only three teams (an English, Swiss and Slovenian), instead of five, two of which who should be there got sick before departing to Teheran. The final report was accepted with great appreciation and an invitation to return at the earliest opportunity, but with more time to visit historic and other attractions that adorn Iran, through which the silk route has flowed.
