The Secrets behind the Gardens in Iran | A Glimpse of Paradise EP 1 | Luxury Living 

I haven't seen a positive documentary on Iran in a long time, thank you for this

Ancient Persian technology is spectacular. Long live the Persian people and culture ❤

The most beautiful thing about Iran are it’s extremely hospitable people..I’ve visited Iran twice in 10yr n found people so loving n bighearted than any country I’ve visited

Thanks for this. I have been fascinated by the Persian Gardens for many years. I wish I could visit.

As an American, I know it would be unlikely I'd ever get to see Iran, but it's so beautiful! I'm grateful there are documentaries and videos I can watch :)

Great documentary, kudos to the team! Most of the Persian culture has been overshadowed by stereotypes made by the Islamic Republic as well as some of the western mainstream media.

I love this place. Tomb of hafiz, wine and poem. Celebrating life❤.

There be gardeners, caretakers of our plants everywhere! There is Hope. Maybe the love of gardening will unite us all ??

Thank you for taking the time to get to know the importance of gardens and culture of the people of Iran. We are proud of our culture and no mater how hard the Islamic republic will make our lives, we won't let go of our ancient and beautiful traditions.

All my love for Iran and iranian people from Italia❤❤❤

What a beautiful country and beautiful parks. I'll definitely visit those someday. Love that architecture and palm trees with pines.

Iranian culture is the center of civilization . Long live Iran 💚🤍❤️

Beautiful ❤ Peace and Liberty to all Iran ❤

Rich culture,so beautiful, we need not have war, each culture needs to be celebrated ❤🎉

Absolutely beautiful and inspiring, I had the best Boss ever from Persia and he would tell me how beautiful it was and now I finally get to see it.. Beautiful documentary.

Such a beautiful documentary, informative,positive and relaxing. High appreciation for the wonderful video

I lived in Iran for six years, of which four where in Isfahan, there are a great many quanats around the city that feed the water into it. From the air it looks like spokes of a wheel. There is also a fire temple there which predates Islam. (Asraphrat religion)

I have a troublesome back at the moment, and am in and out of sleep. I fell asleep while watching this and had beautiful gardens in my dreams. Thankyou.

Beautiful country, will visit in the future, love their pasian rugs in Isfahan, watching from Nigeria.

The end with beautiful melodious voice of Phariah was amazing

Fantastic. I love deserts and poetry. Now I love iranian gardens! I wish the western American deserts had such watery gardens and calm courtyards of beauty. I’m only familiar with trashy abominations like Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Now I want to visit Yazd after watching this Documentary

Love for persia,love for Hafeez ❤,love for poetry, love for garden

I hate we (USA) do not get along with Iran. I would love to see their world and experience their gardens. Because of our world leaders, civilians can not be friendly with each other. Sad how leaders do this. Looks like a beautiful place to see.

How beautiful everything looks. What inheritance has been begot by the people of Iran. Peace and Prosperity be yours.

I love Hafiz’s poetry.

May gardens bring us together .. Peace be with you

Love to Iran 🇮🇷 from Armenia 🇦🇲

Making regions lush green with tall spreading shadows various trees 🌳 suitable for Soil&climate of the regions is HOLY work.God bless you all

Remembered I have watched this documentary few years back on local cable. Surprised to see it is finally here on RU-vid. Glad I can watch them all over again.

Known for poems and flowers Iran I won’t die with out visit you.❤️

Land of kings, love the majestic beauty and intelligence of this culture, all my respect, from Chile

Loved the documentary. Some people in the comment section should watch more of this content instead of Fox news because their ignorance is showing

Wine in Sufi poetry is a metaphor for soma, the Divine Nectar, the enlightenment of their saints. Hafiz is a Sufi poet.

Persian history is fascinating!❤️☝️

Isko dekh kar humara dil ❤ toh Garden Garden ho Gaya ji ❤

The World is lucky Iran exist here.

Persian culture is beyond beautiful. I now will try to find some good books about it.

Fiquei apaixonada pelos jardins e arquitetura. Deus ensinou aos homens a fazer coisas maravilhosas. Abraços do Brasil.

This was really beautiful to see! I am an argentinian, and I always wanted to visit Iran at some point. Really great and positive video! ❤ Also, loved the music a lot!

Beautiful!!! A great country w/ a spectacular history but limited tourism!!

showing Iranian gardens and lands mixed with arabic music so exotistic and close-minded

Happy to discover how they preserved this centuries old garden with its marvellous irrigation system.

So beautiful

Beautiful presentation. A feast for the eyes. A fan and an admirer from Pakistan.

that wind cooling tower is awesome.

Long live Iran.

Kheily khob bod, man iran ro bisiyar doost daram

08:44 correction: Iran is in WESTERN ASIA. Central Asia is fomed basically by the Stans (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan etc)

Beautifully done. The gardens, the art, the people all are true treasure.

Veronika Hofer, you did marvelous job to create this video with all the relevant and accurate information in a cohesive progression. You visited most of the important gardens of Iran. Camera work was great and of course the grand finale song by Parya. Loved it and I hope EP1 is a promise that there will be EP2+ I also would like to add that the word Paradise which you mentioned has a Persian orgian is composed of two words Pairi and Daeza. Comes from Pahlavi language and It means Round Wall or surrrounded with wall. Pairi is root of today's Persian word Peeramoon or surrounding, around. Daeza is the root of the word Dezh in today's persian meaning a castle a fort. So, the wall that surrounds this fort or a man's castle or his garden stood to represent what one wishes heaven would look like. Then it becamse Pardis in old persian, Paradiso in Greek and Paradise in English. The phrase "Islamic Gardens" is as stereotypical creation of British orientlaists as the phrase Middle Eastern Countries is. Middle Eastern from whose point of view? The British. The gardens started in Persia. Arabs did not have gardens. They were civilized by the Persians during the two hundred years of occupation of Persia. Gradually Arab's conquest spread to north Africa and then entered Europe. With the knowledge they absorbed from Persian about water channels and garden designs, they built magnificent gardens such as the Alhambra of Spain. These gardens, none of them are Isalmic even though there is might be a mosque next to it. They are all Persian Garden designs built by people whose religion was Islam. Exactly like we do not call any of the gardens in France or Italy as Christian garden. Monet's Christian Garden, etc. History was written by those who carried the sword.

🎉🎉🎉 Great Iranian world heritage... respect from Thailand... 🙏 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🙏

We often ommit the workers whose hands builted these beautiful things...all my respect and honor to them!!!

Beautiful

My beautiful Iran)))))

This has to be one of the most informative and beautiful documentaries ive ever watched. Thank you for the insight into the amazing civilization, history and culture of Persians. Wow! Totally changed my perception of the middle east as a whole.

Beautiful documentary, pictures, sounds and this light! Simple living , clean streets, respect to culture and traditions

Lovely to watch, enjoy and learn. Beautifully captured and narrated.❤

Love the gardens - wish you had played beautiful Persian music to go along.

Beautiful 🇵🇰❤️🇮🇷

It’s very sad I won’t see this beautiful country

What a beautiful poem and song above the magnificent drawing on wall each garden, I wish to see my own eyes someday ❤

Wonderful video, thank you!

Beautiful Thank you for Sharing

I want to visit these gardens someday ❤.

I am obsessed with the Paria singing the song at the end of this video, wish I knew what she was saying

Wow one would think if one had all these gardens then one would understand the importance of reforestation out from the city to stop the sand storms would be wise and make the desert usable again. Wow

Iran is beautiful. People food culture hospitality is outstanding. It is a great shame the government won’t allow tourist access to come and enjoy the country and help the economy. Iran should be seen to be appreciated.

Thankyou so much for this...beautiful as well as informative and interesting.....💖

This presentation was a joy, Thank you.

Veronika, thank you so much. Iranian gardens are really beautiful. Funny how the western leaders and media want us to believe the opposite.

Fantastic country. Just a pity that a few old blokes feel the need to ‘opress’ and control the young women … what are they afraid of ? Still. I’d love to visit one day. I bet the general population are friendly and generous in spirit. :-)

30:34 😂 this feels so relatable: Grandpa teaching you to do something Grandma explicitly tells you not to do 🥰 God Bless our grandparents who loved us and left us beautiful legacies and sweet memories 🌹 Thank you for this beautiful film - peace to everyone watching and to people of goodwill all over the world 🕊️ Please God conquer evil men's schemes and end the genocide in Gaza ❤️🖤🤍💚

Wow so Beautiful AND functional!! What a gem, each garden has its marvels. Cheers from Florida

Fun fact: The concept of Paradise (Firdaus) in Islam actually were inspired by the Achaemenid Empire paradisaea gardens. "One of the most important elements of paradise gardens is water, with ponds, canals, rills, and fountains all being common features. Scent is an essential element with fruit-bearing trees and flowers selected for their fragrance."

Mesmerising beauty-the land, the gardens, the people, the history and heritage. To think that Israel would nuke this land of they had a chance.

The Persians brought a lot of the beautiful gardens to India, particulary in the Kashmir region.

old poet: i love this garden so much, bring me wine and sing to me even in death now: no alcohol or singing in public

what a nicely filmed / nicely narrated film

I hope to visit Iran someday. I hear the food is amazing, too!

Fun Fact "Paradise" in English Language is Came From Persian Word of "Pardis" پردیس Which is Name Of Persian Garden

Islam has given us golden period of civilization and developments, persian islamic renaissance period orignated by the concept of humanic thinking of architects from the Quranic explanation of gardens and palaces in paradise

Looks like this is going to be one of the most successful videos of your channel.

Stunning❤

Such a great documentary!

Paria! A voice of freedom!!!🙏🎼💚💛❤
