Sepehran Magazine Issue 27: Sister Cities, Natural Wonders and Seasonal Traditions
Sepehran Magazine Issue 27 is an autumn and winter edition of flysepehran’s bilingual tourism and aviation publication. It invites readers on a journey through historic cities, mysterious natural phenomena, cultural celebrations and comforting dishes associated with the colder seasons.
Published in Persian and English, this issue includes four main features: sister cities, extraordinary wonders of nature, autumn and winter festivals, and seasonal dishes from Iran and other parts of the world.
Online Services and the flysepehran Travel Experience
The opening pages introduce flysepehran’s online services, designed to help passengers plan and manage their journeys more conveniently. Readers can learn about flight reservations, online seat selection, purchasing additional baggage, traveling with pets on international flights and the benefits of the RedMiles loyalty program.
The magazine also explains the differences between Comfort XL, Comfort and Normal seats. These options allow travelers to select a seat according to their preferred legroom, access to the aisle, speed of disembarkation or desire for a window view.
Sister Cities: Connections Beyond Borders
One of the main features of Sepehran Magazine Issue 27 explores the concept of sister cities and their role in developing cultural, educational, economic and tourism relationships.
The magazine introduces Isfahan and Saint Petersburg, two cities known for magnificent architecture and their history as former capitals. Yazd and Khiva are connected through their historic urban landscapes and traditional earthen architecture, while Tehran and Seoul are presented as modern cultural capitals.
Kashan and Kazanlak share a strong connection through roses and rosewater traditions. The cultural similarities between Shiraz and Florence also demonstrate how poetry, literature, gardens and artistic heritage can bring distant destinations together.
Mashhad and Karbala represent another meaningful relationship shaped by religious identity, pilgrimage and shared spiritual traditions. These examples show how history, art, faith and urban character can create lasting connections between cities across different countries.
Natural Wonders: Discovering the Mysteries of Our Planet
The natural wonders section introduces a diverse collection of remarkable phenomena. Readers can discover glowing beaches, the migration of monarch butterflies, rainbow eucalyptus trees, noctilucent clouds and the famous glowworm caves of Waitomo.
The journey continues with Africa’s Great Migration, moonbows, mud volcanoes, the Northern Lights, rainbow-coloured mountains, meteor showers and singing sand dunes.
Other extraordinary phenomena include the Catatumbo lightning storms in Venezuela and atmospheric light pillars that appear in cold regions. Each example offers a different view of the diversity, scale and mystery of the natural world.
Autumn and Winter Festivals
Another major section explores celebrations held from the beginning of autumn to the end of winter in different cultures.
Halloween, Yalda Night, Christmas and New Year, Chinese New Year, Sepandarmazgan and Nowruz are among the events introduced in this edition. The articles look beyond the dates of each celebration and explore their historical roots, symbols, foods and traditional customs.
This section demonstrates how festivals preserve the intangible heritage of communities and bring people together through shared rituals, storytelling, music and food.
Comforting Flavors for Colder Days
The final feature presents four autumn and winter dishes. Persian festive rice with noodles, pumpkin soup, Anar Bij stew and Turkish kumpir each represent a different culinary tradition.
Prepared with seasonal ingredients and warm, comforting flavors, these dishes show the connection between climate, local produce and food culture. They also offer readers new ideas for discovering destinations through regional cuisine.
