Iran - Independent Travel Guide This travel guide to Iran is intended to show foreign would-be travelers and residents what Iran is really like, unbiased by glossy brochures or homepages by Iranian authorities or individuals. No offense meant to any of these homepages, but I think they are often of little practical value to foreign would-be visitors to Iran. Consequently, you should not expect any photos/sounds/smells from Iran in these pages: for fast downloads, this guide is limited to textual information, the rest can wait until you get there or can be found on other sites. This travel page is thus not redundant with (most) other services on Iran, as it is only about travel, with special focus on independent travel! I have no affiliations with Iran, be it by blood, marriage, or money. |

Packing - Iran
Formerly Persia, Iran evolved into its modern Islamic identity with the
revolution of 1979 when the shah was overthrown and sent into exile. Despite
its international reputation as a member of the "Axis of Evil"
and persistent stories about the hard line government's treatment of the
population, Iran is a rewarding place to visit, rich in history and culture,
with plenty to do for almost any traveller, whether they want to explore
ancient ruins, or go skiing at one of the resorts in the mountainous north
of the country.
