Shemiran (sometimes Shemiranat) is the name of the northern part of the city of Tehran, capital of Iran.
Shemiran lies in the slopes of Alborz Mountain and enjoys a mild climate. It has fine and well-kept parks and is home to the richest class of Iranian society. Most of the foreign embassies and the Tehran International Fair are situated in Shemiran. Shemiran used to be the summer residence of the Qajar and Pahlavi kings who built several palace complexes and villas in the area. Some examples are the Sa'dabad Palace Complex and the Niavaran Palace Complex.
