After Nassereddin Shah's first visit to the Europe (which was in 1873), he ordered that a street like the Champs-Elysées be constructed in Tehran. In the 9th century, Tehran was a well-known village, but less known than the city of Rhages, which was flourishing nearby. Rhages was described in detail by 10th-century Muslim geographers.[18] Despite the interest that Arabian Baghdad displayed in Rhages, the number of Arabs in the city remained insignificant and the population mainly consisted of Iranians of all classes.
