7-day Roundtrip in Iran
A unique opportunity to explore the most important places in Iran – Tehran, Shiraz and Isfahan with guaranteed departure dates
Persia, as Iran was known before 1935, was one of the greatest empires of the ancient world, and the country has long maintained a distinct cultural identity within the Islamic world by retaining its own language and adhering to the Shia interpretation of Islam. Iran became a unique Islamic republic in 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and religious clerics assumed political control. Ever since the Islamic revolution, the country is perceived with prejudices in the Western world, regarding it as a threat to the world peace. But Iran is a country of friendly people, century-old traditions, historic places and beautiful cities. Don’t miss this chance to put aside politics, to get to know the country better and to experience great cities like Tehran, Shiraz and especially Isfahan.
