Introducing Iran

Iran is a big country inhabited by several different ethnic groups each with their own culture and homeland. The land shows great variation in landscapes sometimes going into extremes like the desert landscapes of the East to the high mountain peaks in the North. Historically Iran has been influenced by many cultures from east, west and the south.

Also your personal interest might reach beyond the average interest of a tour group or guide book.
