Middle East Nicer than you think

When I hear the middle east, I think of terrorists and isis. Isis has been spreading fear across the globe, but the middle east is a lot nicer than just Isis. Iran has the Zagros Mountains. I would like to visit the Zagros Mountains, because I like mountains, and I would like to climb it and ski it.  It is the largest mountain range in Iran, reaching heights of 14,921 feet and a length of 932 miles.
