Season 7, Episode 4 of 30 :  Iran

Ian Wright explores Tehran, the busy capital city, and visits the last resting-place of Ayatollah Khomeini, considered Iran's holiest site of worship. After taking part in the "House of Strength," an ancient Iranian sport, Ian checks out the local nightlife and treats himself to a dish of sheep's brains. He goes skiing in Dizin and then travels to Bandare-E Torkaman on the Caspian coast, where he goes sturgeon fishing and visits a caviar processing plant. Ian wrestles a descendant of Genghis Khan before journeying to Esfahan, site of a magnificent blue-domed mosque. He flies to Shiraz to see the Islamic festival of Ashura, spends a day with the Qashqai Nomads and then visits Persepolis, a city built at the height of the Persian Empire.
