Have your own Iranian adventure
TREK THROUGH THE DESERT
Mega Dunes
Tour the hottest spot on Earth by foot or 4WD.
You can now join a two-week trip that will whisk
you out of Tehran, into the land of the explorers.
Spend your days hiking, paragliding, or even
skiing over the 400-metre high dunes, and the
night telling stories around the campfire as you
tuck into an Iranian feast.
VISIT A SIXTH-CENTURY PALACE
Ancient Civilisation
Southwest Iran plays host to one of the
most famous archaeological sites on Earth
— Persepolis. The ruins of the sixth-century
BC palace has been named a UNESCO World
Heritage Site — as has the ruins of the city
Pasargadae, which can be found nearby.

TOUR THE A MAJESTIC SQUARE
Architectural Masterclass
The former capital Isfahan is famed for its
architectural wonders. In the 17th century,
Isfahan was larger than London and more
cosmopolitan than Paris. Spy the Bridge of
33 Arches that stretches over 1,000 feet, the
intricate tile work of the Sheikh Loftollah
Mosque and the grand Imam Square, where the
former Shah would host polo matches.
