Shemiran (Persian:شمیران) (also called Shemiranat, center of Shemiranat County) is the name of the northern part of the city of Tehran, capital of Iran. It is the northernmost district of the city of Tehran.
Shemiran lies in the slopes of Alborz Mountain and enjoys a suitable 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 Shahs who built several palace complexes and villas in the area. Some examples are the Sa'dabad Palace Complex and the Niavaran Palace Complex.
It is also where Imam Zadeh Saleh is, and where the former home of Imam Khomeini was located.
Among the neighborhoods of Shemiran are: Darakeh, Darband, Jamaran, and Niavaran on the far north, as well as Zafaraniyeh, Elahiyeh, Velenjak, Gheytarieh, and Farmanieh.
