Iran Highlights – Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz & Persepolis

An 8 day Iran Highlights Tour resulted in endless memories of the beautiful country, the welcoming people, the delicious food and the culture and attractions that span thousands of years dating back to ancient civilization. It’s a matter of when, not if, I’ll be returning someday to experience more of what Iran is and has to offer. I booked a customized tour with a local Iranian tour operator Uppersia and it couldn’t have been any better, super fortunate to have a new friend Ali travel with me and show me about his country. Our itinerary had us visiting major cities such as Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz and a day trip to the ancient city of Persepolis just outside of Shiraz. Highlights of Iran can be found below of the wonderful people, culture, cuisine, history and country.

Awesome travel friend/tour guide Ali and new local friends

My tour was just myself and Ali for the 8 days. Ali was an amazing tour guide and our time went by faster than I would’ve liked traveling around Iran as newly minted friends. The people I’ve met have been so amazing and welcoming to their home country and culture. In addition to Ali, I was lucky enough to meet and be shown around by some locals who were family relatives of friends here in the US, a truly authentic experience beyond just the textbook touristy attractions.
