Mehdi Sarlak is shown below. Mehdi is a really nice man that spoke english quite well, was a good emissary of Isfahan, and led a small group of artisans and musicians that came to Qatar for the Summer Wonders.
Mehdi , and knowns all the significant facts of Ishafahan. Maggie and I decided we will try to visit Isfahan during our stay here. It is considered one of the most beautiful places in Iran. It is known for historical significance, its mosques, and artistry. As soon as things settle a bit more, we will travel over. Isfahan is actually right across the gulf and North a bit.
