Contemporary Persia reveals its treasures
Iran displays an architectural heritage of striking richness, from the turquoise domes of Isfahan to the ruins of Persepolis under the Fars sun. Persian gardens still whisper the verses of Hafez while the bazaars of Tehran echo with the haggling of carpet traders. This land of contrasts alternates between the snow-capped mountains of Alborz and the golden expanses of Dasht-e Kavir.
A tailor-made journey allows you to grasp the complexity of this thousand-year-old civilization, guided by a local agent who opens the doors to traditional tea houses and decodes the subtleties of calligraphy in mosques. Iranian hospitality transforms each encounter into an invitation to share.
What to absolutely see in Iran?
Isfahan dazzles with Naghsh-e Jahan Square and its blue-tiled mosques, while Persepolis tells the story of the Achaemenid Empire in sculpted stone. Shiraz seduces with its gardens and the poetry that permeates its streets, when Yazd reveals its mud-brick architecture and its Zoroastrian towers of silence. The Dasht-e Lut desert offers its spectacular geological formations and stars-filled nights of absolute purity.
What type of trip to choose?
A tailor-made stay of 12 to 18 days allows you to grasp the multiple facets of Iran, from UNESCO heritage to authentic encounters in remote villages. The average budget of 2,200 euros per person reflects a premium journey with characterful accommodations and English-speaking guide. This destination suits curious travelers interested in ancient civilizations and open to meaningful intercultural exchanges.
