Many of us have 'sleep debt' - lack of sleep built up over days, weeks and months. On

Whatever your taste in art, history, or nature, visiting the UNESCO sites of Iran is an
unmissable experience. And here are the reasons why:
What do you know about the Persian Empires? Carved on the walls of the proud remains
of this 1500 years old sites, can be discovered the story of one of the greatest and most tolerant
empires in the world. Wander between the walls of the abode citadel of Bam, around Cyrus's tomb
in Pasargadae, or discovering the eight sites of Fars Province will teach you more about this
incredible Empire.
Iran is one of the cradles of humanity. Their legacy can be found in the remains of the Burnt
City in Sistan and Baluchistan, in Shush, the mystic capital city of Susa, or in the mysterious
pyramid of Tchogha Zanbil. Walking in the abode alleys of the 5000 years old city ofYazd gives
a hint of the life at the premises of our civilization.
From Soltaniyeh dome to Jameh Mosque of Isfahan, and Naqsh-e Jahan square, Iran
possesses some of the most precious jewels of the Islamic world. While in the alleys of Tabriz's
bazaar, one of the oldest covered markets in the world, visitors can imagine the life under one of
its ancient caravanserais or under one of the many delicate vaulted domes hidden into its maze.
Thinking about Iran, images of beautiful blue mosques quickly come to mind. However,
they are far from being the sole type of holy sites in Iran. One of the oldest, Zoroastrianism, was
born in Persia where its most sacred site, Takht-e Soleyman, can be visited. Near the Armenian
border, three solitary monasteries recall the history of orthodox faith in Iran, while the Shrine
Ensemble of Ardebil introduces the visitor to the mysticism of wise Sufis.

In recent years, there has been a notable shift ih the business landscape, with more and more
companies recognizing and embracing their duties towards the environment. As concerns about
climate change and sustainability intensify, businesses are acknowledging the need to incorporate
environmental responsibility into their operations. This emerging trend reflects a growing
understanding of the interconnectedness between business success and environmental well-being.
One key driving force behind this shift is the increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly
and socially responsible products and services. Consumers are becoming more conscious of the
environmental impact of their choices and are actively seeking out businesses that prioritize
sustainability. In response, companies are integrating sustainable practices into their supply
chains, reducing waste, and developing environmentally friendly products. This shift not only
aligns businesses with consumer values but also opens up new market opportunities and enhances
brand reputation.
Moreover, regulatory frameworks and government initiatives aimed at promoting
sustainability have played a significant role in fostering corporate environmental consciousness.
Stricter environmental regulations and incentives for sustainable practices have pushed companies
to adopt eco-friendly measures. Compliance with these regulations has become a top priority,
encouraging businesses to invest in renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions, and implement
environmentally sound practices throughout their operations.
