Bursting with the most delicious array of nuts and dried fruits, and always full of people, Tavazo is one of only many Tehrani nut shops, but it's one of the very best.
What to buy: The freshest of fresh nuts, wonderful dates from Bam, a bewildering variety of dried fruit, saffron and other spices - all the very best quality. You can choose from elaborately arranged gift packages of mixed fruit and nuts - an ideal gift if you are going to someone's house during your stay in Tehran - or do as we do and just buy in bulk for yourself. They are irresistible.

You'll find lacquer work pencil boxes in shops and bazaars all over Iran. Whether you buy a moderately priced modern one or a very expensive antique - and they can cost a fortune - they're lovely things, evocative of another age and a long tradition. Decorated with hunting and court scenes in the style of Savafid miniatures they are small, attractive and functional, light and virtually unbreakable - the ideal souvenir.
What to pay: From just a few dollars for a Bazaar souvenir to thousands for a beautiful antique.

The Ferdoosi Carpet Bazaar, just off Ferdoosi Square, may be the first place where you see the bewildering variety of Persian carpets there is to choose from. My advice would be to look around and ask questions, but don't buy anything here. The prices I was quoted in Tehran were far higher than the prices elsewhere in Iran.
If you do decide to buy a carpet here, bargain very hard indeed and preferably bring a local person to help you.
What to buy: This carpet bazaar seemed to be particularly good for Qom carpets, so if you're not visiting Qom, this might be the place to buy one.
What to pay: You can spend anything from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. The dealers will quote you prices in dollars.

Iran has a great tradition in nuts and spices. Alena offers a great variety of nuts and dried fruits and is a feast for the eyes too.
What to buy: You will not believe the variety and quality in pistachio nuts they have. They also make a great present.
What to pay: Less than 10 Euros are enough for a kilo.
