The Shah's Path In Exile

The following two maps show the path the Shah took after he left Iran in exile. The first map shows his stops in the Eastern Hemisphere, including his starting point (Tehran) and final destination (Cairo). See the captions underneath the maps for more information.

After the Shah left Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini returned from his own exile. A map of his travels can be found here.

This map traces the beginning and the end of the Shah's life in exile. He left for Egypt immediately after departing Tehran, then left for Morocco. His journey ended in Cairo as well, where he would succumb to the cancer that had plagued him for years.
