More Info
Iran is often misunderstood and disregarded by the outside world as a dry, desolate land in the Middle East. Those who have traveled to Iran, however, know that nothing could be further from the truth. While Iran is home to two of the driest deserts on Earth, its friendly people and diverse cultural and physical landscapes are anything but desolate. You will be pleasantly surprised by the warmth of the local Irani people, the stunning archaeological and historic sites and the overwhelming amount of outdoor activities. From the Caspian Sea to snow-capped peaks, active volcanoes, caves, and yes, deserts, the possibilities for adventure in Iran are truly endless.
