On our Hidden Iran tour we are spicing it up as we take you to a different side of this must-see country, seeing all the must-see sights as well as the more hidden and lesser known locations.
Your tour begins in the thriving capital of Tehran where you’ll visit the mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore the Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery, take photos of you in front of anti-US propaganda adjoining the facades of buildings, visit inside the former US embassy, and visit the Azadi Tower – the most famous landmark in Tehran.
We’ll then hit the road for Esfahan to visit royal palaces and mosques, local bazaars and mingle with locals at the gym watching ancient Persian workouts. In Yazd you will see ancient Zoroastrian temples and the famed towers of silence before we stroll around the UNESCO site of Persepolis outside of Shiraz.
For those wanted to extend their stay with us in Iran, we highly recommend joining our Group B tour as we really push the boundaries of tourism in Iran. We’ll head south of the country where you’ll explore southern coastal cities and spend two evenings at a homestay on the island of Hormuz located in the Hormuz Straits, one of the global politics hotspots of the world where we will relax with the locals and swim in the Red Sea within this unique part of the country.
To top it off off, for those travelling with us on our Group B, you’ll have the chance to exit the country via an international ferry direct to Dubai across the Persian Gulf!
This is a tour for true Pioneers and comes right after our Saudi Arabia and Kuwait tours which means they can be easily combined! Or you can take an alternative path and come directly from our Iraqi Kurdistan or Iraq Combo tours.
Our Iran tour is open to all nationalities except Israeli, if you are from the UK, USA or Canada we advise booking no later than 3 months in advanced to give us time to prepare and secure your visa codes. As always YPT provides full visa support for all nationalities.
