Day4 pt1 - Syiraz - Taha Hostel 🇮🇷

We arrived at Syiraz bus station early next morning. The Taha Hostel staff was kind enough to come and pick us up at the bus station. They SMSed us to ask if we need transport from the bus station the day before... excellent service! 


As usual, the car was a bit too small for the 5 of us (including driver from Taha Hostel)... so mmg berhimpit le kan... haha. And one bag kena ikut on top of the car... lol!😅

Welcome to Taha traditional house aka Taha Hostel :)
Located at a strategic place at the center of Syiraz old town,  Taha Hostel was recommended to us by a Zamri's friend who recently visited Iran and stayed here.


As we reached here very early, our room was not ready yet... but they were kind enough to offer us a temporary room for us to freshen up before breakfast - yes, they served us breakfast although we are not officially  checked-in yet... so nice of them!
If you noticed on the above picture, there is a small cabin-like area where people like us, who reached here early and could not check-in yet... to sit (or sleep)...
So yeah, we sit there while enjoying our breakfast 😀

Typical Iranian breakfast.
The tea was local tea added with roae petal... yummeh!!
 
See the rose petal? 🌹 
Somehow it added this unique taste in the tea 👍

On this day, the PT3 result was announced. Of course Izzat could not go to his school to pickup his result.
A friend of mine messaged me to tell Izzat's result. Alhamdulillah... walau pun tak dapat straight As.. mama and ayah are happy and bersyukur with his result - 7As and 3Bs... alhamdulillah... good job Izzat!

Sibuk getting in touch with his friends on PT3 results update :D

And this was our room (well, it's like a dorm actually haha) during our stay at Taha Hostel 😊

A room or dorm with 5 beds...
Tapi agak glamour la kalau nak dipanggil dorm kan.. haha.

And look at the ceiling.... wow!

After breakfast, we waited for our driver and transport to go to Pars to visit Pasargadae, Naqsh-e Rustam and Persepolis. Taha Hotel arranged for this trip for USD70 per transport. So kami berlima (plus one driver) in a car...
 
While waiting for our taxi... everybody was busy with their smartphones (duh.. free wifi at the hotel! 😀) and the hostel PR, Ilham (dressed in black) was busy entertaining us 😀 Yes... all the hostel staff were very friendly! 😍

Okay lah dulu... so busy lately.. nak berblog pun x de masa 😩
