Iran

Iran’s captivating blend of tradition and modernity has long drawn in visitors for centuries; from Swedish explorer Sven Hedin’s 19th Century mountaineering exploits on Mt. Damavand (5610m), the country’s highest peak, with the Persian king Nasr-ed-din Shah, to Ibn Battuta’s jaunts through stretches of the Persian Silk Road in the post-Mongol Empire era. The allure of the country’s culture, landscape, and its people continues to fascinate adventurous and enquiring minds around the world. Being the second largest country in the Middle East, it’s unsurprising that there are a multitude of things to see and do; from Esfahan, the legendary city of traditional Islamic archaeology with its iconic turquoise domes, to Naqsh-e-Jahan, the second largest city square in the world (after Beijing’s Tiananmen Square), or the UNESCO recognised village of Abyaneh which is one of the oldest in the country. No matter how long you choose to stay, or where you choose to visit, Iran will undoubtedly leave a long-lasting impression and strengthen your wanderlust for years to come.
