Iran, Solo travel
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.

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.

In general, for ladies I would say moderate safety. The most important problem would be with men trying to harass you orally or physically. Also you must be very careful with your personal belongings such as your phone or wallet. Also, be careful with motorcycle

Zahedan is a traditional and old city in south east of Iran and it's known for hospitality and loyalty among the public. Iran is really opposite of the image that media trying to show...just come and enjoy 😌
