Iran Hot Offer Tour
Iran IRAN HOT OFFERED TOUR is the perfect destination for those looking to get to know the real Middle East.
With a cultural and historical legacy dating back millennia, the lands occupied by modern-day Iran have witnessed the rise and fall of many notable empires.
This short but insightful trip takes us on a journey through the heartland of these empires and ‘behind the veil’ of this much-misunderstood country. From Tehran the capital of Iran we will start and we will continue to one of the Middle East’s most spectacular destinations – the C17th and C18th capital of Esfahan. Home not only to some of the region’s finest Islamic architecture and the world’s second-largest square, the Mayden-e Imam, this is also a great place to wander through the narrow corridors of the extensive souks with their handicrafts and carpets. But perhaps more memorable than any of this is the warm hospitality of the people we’ll meet along the way. Most Iranians are incredibly well-educated and widely read and will enjoy nothing more than putting the world to rights with passers-by, and for many visitors, such interactions will remain their most enduring memories of the country. Then continue our journey to the beautiful gardens and shrines of Shiraz, we’ll travel via the atmospheric and timeless remains of the ancient Persian capital of Persepolis to Shiraz, with its well-known poets. This is a varied and rewarding trip that will very much appeal to anyone who has ever wanted to see the treasures of ancient Persia or has ever wondered what life in Iran is really like. Besides all these spectacular places visiting Abyaneh historical village with 2500 years old life which is continuing in it, can give you another view of the angle to look at the world.
