Tehran > Shiraz > Abarkooh > Yazd > Esfahan > Abyaneh > Kashan

12 Days

In this affordable tour enjoy rural life beside taking a journey through history of Iran that includes major UNESCO world heritage sites plus traditional villages to refresh your mind and body.

To stay in any city, especially historic towns, we try to use residential hotels. They are affordable and also present the experience of having the past in the present.

The cost of taxis in Iran is not expensive, but for easier transportation in crowded cities such as Tehran, the best option is to use the subway. Buses are both cheap and comfortable also.
