What is "farmanieh"

Farmanieh (also spelled Farmaniye) is a district located in Shemiran, Tehran, Iran centered on Farmanieh Street. Farmanieh neighborhood extends south all the way to Sadr Expressway, where it becomes Dibaji, and as far north as Niavaran Expressway. It has one of, if not the highest household income rates in Tehran, being home to many embassies, nobles and notables of Iran.

The west end of the street leads to the Dezashib area, while the east end leads to Farmanieh roundabout at the intersection with northern Pasdaran Avenue. The official post-revolutionary name for Farmanieh Street is "Dr. Lavasani Avenue"; however, this name is rarely used colloquially. The street extends for about 7-8 kilometers.
