Best people and guests in the world. I've traveled extensively, and the place where you'll find the most hospitable and kind people in the world is Iran. The young people are educated and curious about the world.

I was very lucky to visit Iran in a politically peaceful period. It was one of the most memorable trips I have ever done. I felt very safe and managed to communicate with the locals despite the language barrier. They were very welcoming and helpful. My itinerary was Kashan, Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz, Tehran, and I spent two weeks there. The architecture is just splendid. I hope to return one day to explore more the natural wonders.

It's really hot in Chabahar, there's not much food varieties, the food tastes like Indian food and it's so spicy To visit touristic places and nature you have to hire a driver and it takes a 2 hour ride to get to places It's worthy going on a 3 day trip to chabahar to visit that pure nature but not more than 3

Hi, We travelled Iran last week and it was an amazing experience. We travelled with a group and we wear closed clothing when we are in outdoor. But in inside of cafe, hotels you can wear whatever you want.

We stayed at suit hotels in baron avak st. It was clean and the reception and staffs were perfect. There are many historical houses and museum there. Kabud mosque is fab. You can feel the art of iranian in every buildings. People are great, you can go to different restaurant and cafes. Also there is night life in central places. Winter is not good season for trip the best one is summer and spring cause it is a cold city. People talk in azeri language. If you are Turkish or azerbaijan you feel...

It was an awesome experience i loved each and everything about Iran. Food was not on the mark but overall it was not at all expensive. As a female solo traveler we can travel alone safely. Alot of spritual and natural destinations are there to explore.

Hello, Regarding the political situation, Iran is also safe for women to travel. I first went alone but soon met other people and had the best experience. The culture, the food, the countryside—it was really great. I highly recommend Hormuz Island in the very south!

Bazar vakil is really great but ask local people’s before buying thing ,you can buy great foods around. You can buy cheap stuff from them. Try arg ice cream. There is 3big places around that named (zendan vakil) means vakil jail.one of the oldest jails in Shiraz .

Rasht
Rasht is one of the safest cities in Iran. I can say that Rasht is much safer than Iran's capital. The people of Rasht are really hospitable and always happy to help travelers. But at night its a little different . Just some streets are safe & you'd better not to roam alone at night.

All in all Ahwaz is a safe place but you need to be careful because if you leave your bag or your baggage without any support it won't be there when you're back but I guess that's the same all around the world 🤷🏻♀️

Be careful for your cell phone and bag Stay away from south east at nights Take taxis for transportation or use public transportations There's no Uber, you can use Snap and Tapsi though their applications

It is safe as long as you have a local guide. I did not experience fraud because I am a native but decievers are everywhere. Generally speaking, I feel safe traveling solo but there are some safety tips you should notice.

Due to recent situation due to sanction, the inflation has raised to its high level, so the rate of being robbed has decreased. So, it is better to be more careful with having cash with u and also about ur belongings

To be honest Iran isn't a safe country, but travelers don't worry you'll be safe with me and my family here,cause we'll take care of you. I'm dealing with all these problems every day, such as man bothering me on my way home or asking for my number and asking for inappropriate things.. but you're gonna be alright and very welcomed here.don't worry about being disrupted, people here mean no harm to tourists,in fact Iranians are quite hospitable.
