Captured With My Mobile Camera Infinix Note 40

Traveling has always been my favorite interest, and I enjoy all types of travel since it allows me to relax while also learning about different cultures and traditions around the world.

It's very enjoyable to go outside of the country since you meet different types of people, religions, and nations, each with their own languages, foods, and traditions.

I just traveled to Iran and Iraq for 30 to 35 days and had a great time in both countries. I did post numerous images from Iran and Iraq, including diverse cities, meals, and other lovely sites, cultures, and traditions.

These kinds of trips are my favorites, and I enjoy visiting places outside of the country.

In this post, I will talk about this trip and what the most difficult and tiresome part of it was and what difficulties we face during this time.

After arriving in Mashhad, my final destination of the trip, we were on our way to the Pakistan border and, specifically, the city of Taftan which gets inside the Pakistan.

This is one of the older cities, and the technology has not advanced significantly. The situation in this city is significantly worse, making it more difficult to make a living, especially if you travel by Convoy from Taftan to your city. It's considerably more exhausting.

Taftan is one of the most dangerous places for human life since there are numerous terrorists and other extremists of faith who attack specific nations and religious groups.

As a result, this location becomes more risky, and you must exercise caution when traveling there.

When I arrived in Taftan, I was stopped by FC headquarters, who told me that I needed to stay for the night so that we could get ready a convoy, which implies providing protection so that you could travel this route.

Moving from Taftan to Quetta City is around 690 kilometers, and they provide security to pilgrims and visitors throughout the journey so that they can return home easily.

We were forced to spend one night in the city beneath the open sky, and there were a lot of mosquitoes and other little species, which was really annoying.

Another issue in this location was that there was no canteen where you could purchase food, juices, cakes, biscuits, or other food items.

If you find a canteen, they will charge you double the price, which is not helpful for guests and travellers.

To be honest, we didn't have any carpets or blankets to lay on the muddy ground to sleep on. We did buy some little blankets so that we could spend the night lying on them.

Due to the extreme cold and the presence of several small species that constantly disturb us, I stayed up the entire night and didn't sleep.

I was with several of my friends when we made the decision to talk about a variety of topics and gossiped all night long, but it was impossible, so at 12 AM we made the decision to take a break and attempt to sleep.

Unfortunately, I was unable to sleep, but my buddies did, which irritates and confuses me further.

In the meantime, I was looking up at the sky. It was a horrible and terrifying moment.

I find the scattered clouds that were behind the moon. It was hide-and-seek. It also looked gorgeous but was frightening.

I take out my phone and begin taking images of this view.

Where you will only see one image of this scene, the rest have been erased by me from my mobile camera, for which I apologize .

I found this photo in my smartphone album and decided to describe the difficult journey to Taftan as well as the challenges we face in this city, which I tried to share with you.

Anyway, the night passed, and in the morning, we were allowed to begin traveling in the form of a convoy, and we arrived in our city after 8 to 9 hours. This was one of the most challenging journeys I've taken.
