In Razaiyeh more than 30
arches were built along the main
streets. Drapped with the green,
white, and red of the Iranian flag,
many of the arches displayed pic
tures of the' royal family. The
two months of preparation was
visable in virtually every part
of the city.
Sawat-lu, like many of the vil
lages along the Queen's route,
built an arch to welcome Her
. imperial Majesty. Actually a joint
effort between Sawat-lu and two
other near-by villages, it was
built on the main highway close
to the entrance to Sawat-lu.
The 10th of August was a holl-
Jay of all holidays for the resi-
dents of Sawat-lu. Promptly at
8:00 a.m. the call of the local
musicians brought everyone tax
tne arch, (although the Queen was
not expected to pass through until
11:30 a.m.). The villagers, young
ana oi nine, began dancing Iran
ian folk dances to the rhythm of
a nass arum and an Arabic sound
