Iran

Treasures of Persia Tour (12 Days / 11 Nights)

If you can cast away the negative image portrayed by some Western countries and take a trip to Iran (formerly Persia), you will be richly rewarded by your experience.

In Iran, you’ll experience a proud nation wanting to be seen for what it is, rather than what it is perceived to be. Whether you’re travelling in cities like Esfahan, the Zagros Mountains of Central Iran or the deserts around Kerman, the real Iran will be revealed. At its core you will discover a country of warm and fascinating people living within an ancient and sophisticated culture. Embrace Iran, and allow the Iranians to embrace you. As the Lonely Planet puts it “it’s the most priceless of experiences”.

Our tour starts in Tehran, the dynamic capital. We then move to Shiraz, the cultural capital of Iran where we see the ancient site of Persepolis and Naqsh-e-Rostam & NAQSH-e-Rajab, Firuz abad.

Esfahan is known as the jewel of Persia with its rich Islamic and Persian architecture and historical sites. There we visit sites such as Imam & Sheikh Lotfollah Mosques, Ali Qapu & Forty Column Palaces and Vank Cathedral.

We also visit cities such as Yazd, Kashan and Qom where our journey will take us back to the time when, and show us how, humans not only mastered harsh conditions but also produced a rich and unique civilization in the middle of desert.
