Julfa border town (Iran)

I arrived this border town two years ago, when being a member of small team we leaved Baku city and went to Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (Azerbaijan) by cars through the territory of Iran.
This town locates at the right bank of Araks (Araz) River and connects with town of the same name in Azerbaijan by railway bridge. 

On the way back, while our cars were under the custom processing, I had a chance to walk a little over the town and make some pictures. It is ncessary to mention that I made them by my mobile camera just in case because I did not want any troubles with locals or police. 

1. The commerce, banks and fast food services are well developed in Julfa like in any border town. Markets (bazaar) as well as the numerous shops locate just near the custom office. Here you can buy everything - from soap to carpets and foods. Of course, all goods are made in Iran. Most of bought goods is delivered to Nakhchivan.

9. The town was small and not very remarkable. But, I was lucky because I found a rare car. It was BMW 1602 manufactured in 1966 to 1975.
