Zafaraniyeh

Zafaraniyeh

Zafaraniyeh (main street: Shahid Sarlashkar Fallahi) is a neighbourhood in the north of Tehran, Iran. The name's origin lies in the fact that it was the residence of many saffron traders long ago, thus the name Zafaraniyeh (the Persian version of Saffronia). The Islamic Azad University of Tehran, Languages branch is located at the beginning of Zafaraiyeh that teaches English, German, French, Spanish, and other foreign languages. The museum of Sa'adabad Palace is situated at the end of this street, which also contains a culture house. There are plans to build a shopping center in Asef crossroad. The Moghaddas Ardebili Street connects Zafaraniyeh to Velenjak from east and to Valiasr Street from west. Egypt's embassadorial residence is also located there. There is also a synagogue in this neighbourhood.
