Bam, Iran

Bam used to be one of the jewels of Iran until an Earthquake flattened the ancient mud city. Today little remains of the once impressive sight. Reconstruction is ongoing but there is a long way to go. Besides the mud city the market is an impressive place today. After the earthquake all shops were gone. Instead of reconstructing them ship containers were put creating a container town. In Bam are also a lot of refugees from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
