FINALLY VISITING THE HOLY CITY OF IRAN-QUM In RAIN 🌧️☔| Pakistan to Iran by TRAIN | IS.Ep.4
Qom, also spelled Qum, city, capital of Qom province, north-central Iran. The city lies on both banks of the Rūd-e Qom and beside a salt desert, the Dasht-e Kavīr, 92 miles (147 km) south of Tehrān.
In the 8th century Qom was one of the centres of Shiʿi Islam. In 816 Fāṭimah, the sister of the eighth imam of the Twelver Shiʿah, ʿAlī al-Riḍā, died in the town and was buried there. It became a place of pilgrimage in the 17th century, when the Ṣafavid rulers built a golden-domed shrine over Fāṭimah’s tomb.
The modern city has the largest madrasah (theological college) in the country, where students can specialize in Islamic law, philosophy, theology, and logic. It was at Qom that the Iranian army surrendered to Islamic revolutionary militia in 1979. Following the Islamic Revolution in Iran early in 1979, the revolution’s principal figure, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, again took up residence in Qom, whence he had been exiled by the shah, and made the town his seat.
Some 10 kings and 400 Islamic saints are interred in Qom and its neighbourhood. Shāh ʿAbbās II is buried there in a special mausoleum richly adorned with 14 fine silk rugs, dated 1666. On the southern side of the city is a group of five mausoleums (mostly 14th century) distinguished by remarkable polychrome stucco ornaments.
Qom has developed into a lively industrial centre owing in part to its proximity to Tehrān. It is a regional centre for the distribution of petroleum and petroleum products, and a natural gas pipeline from Bandar-e Anzalī and Tehrān and a crude-oil pipeline from Tehrān run through Qom to the Abadan refinery on the Persian Gulf. Qom gained additional prosperity when oil fields were discovered at Sarājeh near the city in 1956 and a large refinery was built between Qom and Tehrān. Rural populations migrated to the growing township, and its economic growth accelerated with new investments in the textile industry and the establishment of petrochemical, cement, and brick-making industries. In the 1970s several dams were completed on the upper reaches of the Rūd-e Qom.
The city has road connections to Tehrān, Arāk, Kāshān, Sāveh, and Yazd and is on the Trans-Iranian Railway. There are many Muslim shrines in the area. Kebar, 15 miles (24 km) south of Qom, is the site of an ancient vaulted dam. Wheat, barley, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, and cotton are grown in the surrounding area. Pop. (2016) 1,201,158.
Certainly! Spending a rainy day in the city of Qom, Iran, can be a fascinating and enriching experience. Here are five specific points on how to make the most of a rainy day in Qom:
1. Visit the Holy Shrine of Fatima Masumeh: Take shelter from the rain by visiting the holy shrine of Fatima Masumeh. Spend time in prayer or contemplation in the serene and spiritually significant atmosphere of the shrine.
2. Explore the Qom Bazaar: Wander through the bustling Qom Bazaar and enjoy the covered marketplaces that protect you from the rain. Discover local handicrafts, jewelry, and spices while immersing yourself in the lively atmosphere of this traditional marketplace.
3. Attend religious lectures and seminars: Seek out religious lectures or seminars being held at the seminaries and mosques in Qom. Engaging with Islamic teachings and scholars can deepen your understanding of the religion and its importance in Iranian culture.
4. Try traditional Qom cuisine: Sample the delicious local cuisine of Qom, such as their unique stews and aromatic rice dishes. Find a cozy restaurant to enjoy the warm and comforting flavors of Iranian food while it rains outside.
5. Visit local museums and cultural centers: Spend your rainy day indoors by exploring the museums and cultural centers in Qom. Learn about the city's history, art, and traditions, gaining valuable insights into Iran's rich cultural heritage.

This is the 45th Episode of my Bike ride to Pakistan and India from Germany on BMW G310GS. In this episode, I rode from Saveh near Tehran and visited the Holy Shrine of Fatima Masumeh in Qom. From Qom, I continued riding towards Kashan and visited the beautiful Shrine of Mohammed Hilal ibn Ali in Aran Va Bidgol which is around 25km from Kashan. From Kashan, I rode to Natanz and the historical village of Abayneh. After visiting Abayneh I continued riding towards Isfahan and stayed overnight in Safavi Hotel.
